PAPERBACK, cover price $23.00, fresh attractive copy, appears unused. remainder dot on top foredge. MERRIDALE, CATHERINE. Ivan's war: life and death in the Red Army, 1939-1945. New York: Picador, a Metropolitan Book, 2006, xii, 462pp., . A narrative of the ordinary Russian soldier's experience of the worst war in history, based on newly revealed sources. The men and women of the Red Army, a ragtag mass of soldiers, confronted Europe's most lethal fighting force and by 1945 had defeated it. Sixty years have passed since their epic triumph, but the heart and mind of Ivan--as the ordinary Russian soldier was called--remain a mystery. We know something about how the soldiers died, but nearly nothing about how they lived, how they saw the world, or why they fought. Drawing on previously closed military and secret police archives, interviews with veterans, and private letters and diaries, Merridale presents the first comprehensive history of the Red Army rank and file, revealing the singular mixture of courage, patriotism, anger, and fear that made it possible for these underfed, badly led troops to defeat the Nazi army.

Paperback. Condition: Good. For fifteen years, every since the taciturn civil servant Summerchild fell to his death from a window in the Admiralty, there have been rumors. So Brian Jessel, a young member of the Cabinet Office, is diverted from his routine work and asked to prepare an internal report. Slowly, from the archives in the Cabinet Office Registry, Jessel begins to reconstruct Summerchild's last months. It begins to emerge that, at a time when America had just put men on the moon, the British were involved in an even bolder project. The secret world into which Brian Jessel stumbles turns out to be even more extraordinary than his department had feared. 259p.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. "Words to Outlive Us" is a "First Picador edition: November 2003." Number line complete 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. No creases; unread. A collective memoir -- "a mosaic of individual diaries and eyewitness reports . . . challenge us to imagine the unimaginable." The late Michal Grynberg, an associate of the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, devoted decades of his life to compiling and publishing first-hand testimonies from ghettos throughout Poland. An estimated 489,000 people once lived in the Jewish ghetto of Warsaw -- the largest Jewish community under German control in the early 1940s. About 42,500 are thought to have escaped alive. Some 100,000 died from disease, malnutrition, or execution before the mass deportations of July, 1942. The remaining 347,500 were murdered, most at Treblinka. For being Jewish. Under the guidance of professional historian Emanuel Ringelblum, the residents kept journals, bearing witness to the crimes being committed daily. Before the uprising of April, 1943, these records were sealed in milk cans and other containers, and buried inside the ghetto. Inconveniently for the Germans (and, of course, the many Polish collaborators), who have long contended "We knew nothing," two out of three of those receptacles survived, to be recovered in 1946 and 1950. Their words have, indeed, outlived them. OUR SECOND BOOK, "To Tell the Story / Poems of the Holocaust," a 1987 softcover, ISBN 0896040917, is an Unread trade paperback with no reading creases but some rub to bottom corner. Gold sticker to rear wrap announces "Now Published By U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington, D.C." The Nazis killed the author's Polish parents (her father was a scholar and teacher) and older sister. She and a younger sister slaved in a labor camp, but survived the war "thanks to a pair of decent Christians, a brother and sister, who provided forged 'aryan' papers." Holocaust history. 493 pp. and 112 pp., respectively. The pair of books on related topics now reduced from $30.
