P. Snow's 'Strangers and Brothers' sequence. Lewis Eliot walks the echoing corridors of Whitehall observing political intrigues and shifting alliances in this exceptional portrait of the heart of the British government during the Suez Crisis. At its centre is Roger Quaife, an ambitious MP determined to denuclearize Britain. His weapons are persuasiveness and a consummate skill in top level diplomacy. In the committee rooms of Whitehall he plays with the highest stakes imaginable as he challenges the Government's armaments policy. What ensues is a fascinating study of power, personal and political, handled with Snow's inimitable authenticity and intimacy. Deservedly famed as one of the most accomplished political novels of all time 'Corridors of Power' goes behind the scenes of the Cold War with precision and humanity. A meticulous study of the public issues and private problems of post war Britain by physicist, novelist and civil servant C. P. Snow (1905-80).

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition First Printing. Commemorative booklet apparently issued as a memento of the 1922 silent film, "Hunting Big Game in Africa with Gun and Camera," produced by & starring the father & son team, H. A. Snow (1869-1927) & Sidney Snow (1898-1959). It documented their previous two-year excursion into the wilds of Africa to hunt & kill big game. The Foreword sings the praises & extols the bravery of the man who "fought his way.through the trackless tropic wastes & wrested, one by one, her blackest, most jealously guarded secrets from the savage breast of the Dark Continent." Black-and-white photos document the slaying of leopards, elephants, oryx, gazelle, lions, zebra, rhinos, & greater koodoo, over whose corpses the hunters-and often their wives & children-proudly pose with their Winchester rifles, the weapon of choice on the hunt & in the film, praised for their "envious record in both America and Africa.'' Other animals on the trip were captured & brought back to California for a zoo the Snows were planning, which they established by Lake Merritt upon their return; the animals were later moved to create the Oakland Zoo in 1934. Henry died in 1927, though son Sidney would go on to form the Alameda County Botanical & Zoological Society. Quite scarce, with OCLC reporting just 1 copy of the film but no copies of the booklet.

Five items: Snow's two letters and carbons of three of Mercer's replies (5 and 25 March, and 24 June 1964). ONE: Typed Letter from Samson, signed on his behalf, to the Secretary (i.e. G. E. Mercer), Royal Society of Arts, 28 February 1964. 1p., folio. Confirming that he wishes to give a paper on 'The Relative Merits of the use of Steel or Concrete in Structures', 'with a number of slides showing comparisons of various materials'. At the foot of the page is a signed note from Mercer to Sampson, dated 2 March 1964: 'Do we want this? We seem to have a number of lectures on this topic in recent years. Has he got anything new to say?' At the foot of the page is Samson's signed reply of the same date, in which he points out that Snow is 'one of our foremost consulting engineers who has been responsible for world-wide projects (see Who's Who) & would give an authoritative talk'. Accompanying the letter is Snow's 'Synopsis of Paper entitled The Relative Merits of the Use of Steel or Concrete in Structures', dated 28 February 1964, and 1p., folio. TWO: Typed Letter Signed from Snow to Mercer, 23 March 1964. He stresses that his approach to the topic will be 'entirely different': 'As you may well know, there is in general considerable competition between structural steel users and reinforced concrete users, as to which is the best material. The object of the Paper would be to show that the necessity for such competition does not in fact exist adn that money spent on advertising these materials could be used on research, to very much better purpose.' Signed note from Samson at foot of letter, promising Snow 'a full House on this subject'. THREE to FIVE: Carbons of three typed letters from Mercer to Snow, 5 and 25 March and 24 June 1964. In the first, Mercer states that it is 'the Society's policy that so far as possible papers read to it should deal with new developments', and giving details of three papers read to the Society on kindred topics in recent years. In the third letter Mercer reports that, while realizing the importance of the subject, the Society's 'Committee which draws up our lecture programme' have decided not to proceed with the lecture, having had 'a number of lectures in recent years dealing with various aspects of it'.
