Around both men is a conspiracy of lies and violence that reaches back to the Cold War. But as Beg moves in for (illustrator). A second chance In the windswept sands of the Middle East, Paul Chardy fought side by side with Ulu Beg: one, a charismatic, high-strung CIA covert warrior, the other a ferocious freedom fighter. Then Chardy fell into the hands of the enemy, and Beg was betrayed. Now the two men are about to meet again. A second gun Beg has come over the Mexican border under a hail of bullets- determined to assassinate a leading American political figure and avenge his people's betrayal.

(illustrator). Pages coming away from binding. No rips or tears on pages. The man with The Billion Dollar Brain is (almost naturally) a Texan who has constructed a huge private international espionage network, the machinations of which constitute a threat to all governments of whatever political persuasion. The heart of the menace is a computer as big as the Ritz- the horrifyingly plausible end-product of an automated society hell-bound for self-destruction through the twisted circuits of the double and triple cross. Within the pages of The Ten Billion Dollar Brain you will meet some old friends, including the tough insubordinate spy from Burnley who fought, fumbled and outwitted his way through The Ipcress File and Funeral In Berlin; Dawlish, his bumbling superior; Colonel Stok, the friendly enemy who is, like our hero, a cynically pragmatic professional, and Harvey Newbegin, the opportunistic and neurotic American agent. You will also encounter some unforgettable new characters- notably Signe Laine, a Finnish nymph who likes champagne, Sibelius, very expensive underwear, and one-upmenship (with the emphasis on the men), and General Mid-winter, a truly original creation who dominates the tale like an absurd maniacal Napoleon. The plot screams across the roof of the world from the bone freezing core of winter in Leningrad, to Helsinki, to London, New York, and the stifling damp heat of Texas. The authenticity of the technical detail makes science fiction seem oddly homely, and one believes the hero when he says, "It's only a matter of time before machines are pressing buttons to call people." as well as Comrade Colonel Stok of Red Army Intelligence who agrees, "Two not very clever men will have to decide whether to extend hand or pull a trigger." Superbly constructed, relevant, filled with brilliantly realized characters and vibrant scenes, The Billion Dollar Brain has all the stylistic glitter and sheen we have come to expect from Len Deighton. It could be described as a riveting Space Age spy thriller were it not for the strange feeling that it all really happened.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. his is it. This is the way it was." And for the families stateside, who followed their men through terrible headlines and letters three weeks old, this is the novel that brings their war into the home." (illustrator). Away All Boats tells the intimate and heroic life story of the attack transport Belinda. It tells of the ships and men that came in under naval bombardment, that landed our marines and GI's in battle, that took them wounded and dying off the blasted beaches at Makin Island, Kwajalein, Saipan and Lingayen Gulf. It is the Pacific War re-created in its entirety-from the shakedown cruise to the ominous lowering of the LCVP's, from the West Coast docks to the Hawaiian staging areas through the bitter engagements in the Marshalls and Marianas. It will make thousands of veterans of the island-hopping campaign say, "This is it. This is the way it was." And for the families stateside, who followed their men through terrible headlines and letters three weeks old, this is the novel that brings their war into the home. Here is Lieutenant Dave MacDouglall, boat group commander during the first practice landings, then navigator, later executive officer and finally commanding officer after the kamikaze attack off Okinawa. Here are two captains: Gedney, who loved and lived by the traditions of the Old Navy; and his successor, Hawks, who resented higher authority. Here are the men, each of whom contributed his bit of knowledge-or lack of it-to the sum of the experiences, fears and intuitions of the others. Brave men and cowards, strong men and weaklings, worked side by side; and the cold, competent voice of authority which drove them through their paces was often no more than the mechanically amplified voice of a relatively simple and infinitely fallible man who yearned to be relieved for chow. This is the way it was. The assault landings, the task-force maneuvers, the enemy air strikes-even the "foul ups" and frustrations-all are accurate and uncompromisingly true. Accurate, too, are the details of life aboard the attack transport, the overmastering Plan of the Day, the dramatic stages by which Amphibious Operations grew in efficiency from the Gilberts to Okinawa. At first the U.S.S. Belinda was mere machinery. But the sea swells tempered her; the men breathed life into her; the training missions galvanized her men into a crew. Then came the marines and GI's who fulfilled her purpose, the cry "Away all boats," the mothering of landing craft, grace under fire, the thundering beachhead. Time and again the thundering beachhead, until it seemed the Belinda would never stop: she'd go on and on from one island to the next, and the ramps would always be dropping on some far-off coral strand.

In the case of the narrator, Sonny, my old friends who remember that I was an actor for eight years will immediately recognize some of my (illustrator). Book Club Edition. The story-Eli Kazan's most personal passionate, and moving work-swirls through a wealth of environments: the Broadway stage, a mind-blown safari in East Africa, a Hollywood film studio, the garment industry, a Beverly Hills luxury hotel, a closing-night cast party in Boston, New York's underworld, the TV industry, Florida's new gold coast. Kazan enhanced the meaning of "arrangement" to encompass the sexual accommodations most people live by and lie about. The true love story of this book is one that will give the word "understudy" a new meaning. Because so many of the characters are out of the world of theater and film, some people may be tempted to wonder who they might be based on. Here is Kazan's answer: A Confession All but one of the characters in this book, the women as much as the men, are drawn from a living person. Myself. In the case of the narrator, Sonny, my old friends who remember that I was an actor for eight years will immediately recognize some of my less attractive aspects in this performer. In the case of the hotshot, young director, it's all to obvious where his arrogance and intolerance come from. The black policy man, who is in deep trouble, is more like me than anyone else I know, and Bernie, the hood who kills him, has the same bag of anxieties, and passion that I have known. I, too, alas, enjoy Les Prelude of Liszt. I am, of course, the Hollywood producer, Benesch; I used to hunch-cast, too. And Eddie Diamond, the film director, is a steal from the eager young fellow who made all those successful first films of mine. As for Jim, the white hunter, he is as controlled and correct under duress as I try to be, though being of British rather than Mediterranean origin, Jim succeeds more often than I do. As for the women, I am a bit of a narcissist, as you can tell from the photo on the back of the jacket, and was for one short period a cautious wastrel, which may account for Roberta. Heavenly Hilda is just as gullible and giving as I sometimes am, and dear Ellie with her excessive respect for law and order-ask anyone who knows me. Even the character Arthur, who is so present in the story though dead-I've always believed that I'd be killed by a U.S. Mail truck on a day when, in my habitual mental fog, I step off a city curb without looking. I can only hope, with you, that it won't happen to soon. So one and all, they are me, with the single exception of the most important character in the book, Sidney Schlossberg. He is plucked from a garland of friends whom I admire as much as I do Sidney, I wish I could say that he was me, but I can't because I am nowhere near that persuasive or funny, nor am I that grand. If I had to pick one person Sidney is most like, I'd say Clifford Odets, whom I loved as much as I love Sidney; I knew it when Cliff was alive but never knew how much till he was dead. So sue me.

The descendants of these extraordinary men produce over the years a wide variety of characters who play major and minor roles in this compelling story." (illustrator). 5th Printing.The central scene, however, is neither the broad Atlantic nor even the entire bay, but that dramatic section of Maryland's Eastern Shore, hardly more than ten miles square, where the Choptank River flows into the Chesapeake. To this point come the founders of families that will dominate the story. The first, in 1583, is Pentaquod, the tall Susquehannock, in flight from a dangerous conflict with his tribe. He finds the peaceful and ineffectual Choptank Indians and becomes their chief. In 1611 Edmund Steed, having come to Jamestown to escape the persecution of Catholics in England, moves up the bay to the Choptank. He is followed in 1638 by a fugitive from justice. Timothy Turlock: and in 1664 by the militant Quaker Edward Paxmore, who has been banished from Massachusetts. The nineteenth century brings three more founding fathers. In 1833 the African Cudjo, after being sold into slavery and surviving a year of horrible adventures, is bought for a Steed plantation, where his torments continue until his strength and resourcefulness surmount them. Michael Caveny escapes a famine in Ireland and arrives in 1852. Otto Pflaum, seaman, is "introduced" to the area in 1893 by Tim Caveny and Jake Turlock. The descendants of these extraordinary men produce over the years a wide variety of characters who play major and minor roles in this compelling story. No reader will forget Captain Matt Turlock, Paul Steed, Hugo Pflaum, Pusey Paxmore, or Cudjo's great-great-grandson Hiram Cater. Perhaps most memorable are some of the women who join the principal families through matrimony: Rosalind Janney Steed (most of all) Ruth Brinton Paxmore and Rachel Starbuck Paxmore, relentless fighters against slavery; Eden, the Steed slave whom Cudjo Cater marries; and Julia Cater, wife of Cudjo's great-grandson and mother of Hiram. Preceding each of the chapters in this elegantly wrought book, there is an account of a voyage-over water or land or both.

Indeed, the roll of honor includes but 3,394 of the tens of millions of men and women who have served their country in the time of need since the Civil War. Yet among them are the names of generals and privates alike, (illustrator). Very Large Book, 1st Printing. The Medal of Honor is America's highest award for military valor. It is bestowed on those who have performed an act of such conspicuous gallantry as to rise "above and beyond the call of duty." Indeed the roll of honor includes but 3,394 of the tens of millions of men and women who have served their country in the time of need since the Civil War. Yet among them are the names of generals and privates alike, of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen, of Americans of every color and creed, from every corner of this vast land. As a symbol of heroism, it has no equal in American life. Here now, for the first time, is a comprehensive history of the Medal of Honor. Through authoritative text and lavish pictures, Above and Beyond presents the story of the medal and those who have earned it, commencing on the blood-drenched battlefields of the Civil War and culminating in the eerie jungles of Vietnam. Scores of stirring accounts from every American conflict celebrate the selfless valor that has set these men-and one woman-apart from their comrades-at-arms. Exclusive interviews with living recipients and first-person reports from years past testify to the widely differing personalities of these American heroes, to their thoughts and beliefs-and how the medal affected their lives, for good, or for ill. Whiles relating the story of the medal, Above and Beyond also examines the history of America at war, from the Civil War, through the wars of expansion westward into Indian territory, in the Caribbean basin and in the Pacific, through the two World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam. For a time, the Medal of Honor was also awarded in peacetime to a few outstanding men such as Charles Lindbergh and Admiral Richard Byrd; this splendid volume salutes them and records their exploits as well. Above and Beyond is more than a history. It is, in fact, a pantheon of our country's greatest war heroes, of those, among untold thousands of courageous Americans, whose valor far exceeded the call of duty. For, in a final section, the editors have put together a complete register of honor, in which each and every one of the 3,394 Medal of Honor recipients is named, along with the date, branch of service and arena of action. These are the Americans who have earned their-nations ever-lasting gratitude.
