Mass market paperback. Condition: Good. 640 pages. Chronology. Appendix. Notes. Index. There is wear and soiling to the cover as well as minor discoloring to the pages. Inscribed by the author on the first page. The inscription reads "To George Meyer-with regards from Nikolai Tolstoy". Victims of Yalta chronicles the fate of Sov…iet citizens who had been under German control during World War II and at its end fallen into the hands of the Western Allies. According to the secret Moscow agreement from 1944 that was confirmed at the 1945 Yalta conference, all citizens of the Soviet Union were to be repatriated without choicea death sentence for many by execution or extermination through labor. Count Nikolai Dmitrievich Tolstoy-Miloslavsky FRSL (born 23 June 1935), known as Nikolai Tolstoy, is a British monarchist and revisionist historian. He is a former parliamentary candidate of the UK Independence Party and is the current nominal head of the House of Tolstoy, a Russian noble family. Tolstoy was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1979. He has researched and written about World War II and has alleged that British war crimes took place during its immediate aftermath. In 1977, he wrote the book Victims of Yalta, which exposed and criticized Britain's role in Operation Keelhaul, a forced repatriation of anti-communist political refugees to Joseph Stalin's NKVD in violation of the Geneva Conventions. In 1986 he wrote The Minister and the Massacres which similar documented and denounced the British Army's forced repatriation of alleged collaborationists to Josip Broz Tito's Soviet-backed Yugoslav Partisans. It received much praise. Victims of Yalta (British title) or The Secret Betrayal (American title) is a 1977 book by Nikolai Tolstoy who describes the various groups of over five million Russians who had fallen into German hands. These include prisoners of war, forced laborers (Ostarbeiter), collaborators, refugees, émigrés, and anti-communists. Conditions in Germany for Soviet prisoners were appalling and their mortality rate high, making it attractive for many to join laborers, Russian auxiliary troops, or the Russian Liberation Army (ROA). The situation for Russian soldiers was complicated by the stance of the Soviet government that rejected efforts by the International Red Cross to intervene and considered anyone who had surrendered to the enemy a traitor. The Moscow conference of 1944 and the Yalta agreement laid the groundwork for the participation of the British and American governments to support the repatriation program of the Soviet government. Tolstoy was especially critical of Anthony Eden's role in trying to appease the Soviets. While Tolstoy primarily discusses the reaction of the British and Americans to the Soviet requests for repatriation, he also describes the actions of other governments. Repatriation programs were enacted in Belgium, Finland, France, Holland, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland. The only country known to have resisted requests to force unwilling Russians to become repatriated was Liechtenstein. He discusses reasons why governments were willing participants in the repatriation program, even when it was obvious that many Russians did not wish to return and that the fate of repatriates was death, torture, or forced labor. One issue for Western Allies was reciprocity, namely concern for their prisoners who had fallen into Soviet hands. While Tolstoy had access to British documents that were opened 30 years after World War II, he indicates Soviet documents remained sealed. Generally, on their side, agents from NKVD or SMERSH conducted the handling of the repatriates. Tolstoy, however, also obtained information from survivors and defectors. According to his estimate, based on data of a former NKVD officer, a total of 5.5 million Russians were repatriated from formerly occupied areas; of these 20% either received a death sentence or a 25-year labor camp sentence, 1520% received sentences of 5 to 10 years, 10% were exiled for.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. (no dust jacket, probably as issued) [light wear to extremities]. (B&W photographs, facsimiles) INSCRIBED ("To Dottie Furman") and SIGNED by Will Rogers Jr. on the front endpaper. A kind of documentary casebook on the death and legacy of Will Rogers, centered around the plane crash… that took his life and that of famed pilot Wiley Post on August 15, 1935. Drawn from the extensive archival holdings of the Will Rogers Memorial, it presents facsimiles of news stories of the time (including coverage from immediately preceding the flight), reproductions or transcriptions of letters and telegrams, and numerous photographs and related documents. Much of the coverage has to do with the numerous posthumous tributes and honors received by Rogers, including the establishment of the Will Rogers Memorial itself (of which the author was the Director). Signed by Associated.

Eugene Lyons (1898-1985) was an American journalist and writer. A fellow traveler of Communism in his younger years, Lyons became highly critical of the Soviet Union after several years there as a correspondent of United Press International. Lyons also wrote a biography of President Herbert Hoover. Eugene Lyons was born July 1, 1898, to a Jewish family in the town of Uzlyany, now part of Belarus but then part of the Russian Empire. His parents emigrated to the US, and he grew up among the teeming tenements of the Lower East Side of New York City. "I thought myself a 'socialist' almost as soon as I thought at all," Lyons recalled in his memoirs. As a youth he attended a Socialist Sunday School on East Broadway, where he sang Socialist hymns such as "The Internationale" and "The Red Flag." Lyons worked for the Workers Defense Union for some time and composed news releases for the Socialist daily newspaper New York Call and other left-wing publications In the fall of 1920, with revolution in the wind in Italy and dreaming of becoming the next John Reed, Lyons made his way to Naples and bore credentials of the Federated Press news service and the monthly magazine The Liberator. Lyons's Italian experiences were later put to use in his first book, The Life and Death of Sacco and Vanzetti, which was published in 1927 by the Communist-affiliated International Publishers in which he argued the case for the pair's innocence. Lyons became a correspondent for the Soviet news agency TASS. Lyons' work for TASS led to his becoming the United Press (UP) correspondent in Moscow [Wikipedia]. Signed by Author(s).

First edition, signed & numbered 465, of this lavishly illustrated memoir by the eccentric author through Hawaii, Japan, China, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, relating historical anecdotes, travel tips, cultural mores, and snippets of poetry by the author. She includes a prospective travel reading list bibliography at the end for the aspiring traveler, along with detailed index. Faust-Newton (1889-1975) was an avid traveler, earned several degrees, gave lectures on her excursions, and amassed a sizable collection of antiquities and Asian artifacts later used to fill their museum. She is perhaps best remembered in her former Highland Park neighborhood of Dallas for the decades-long legal fights with the city over her mock 3-story yacht S.S. Miramar, scene of parties, and tourist attraction, the 1938 kidnapping of an African-American employee accused of stealing a "priceless" jade ring (never found), and the sustained pranking and vandalism campaign contributing to her deepening sense of paranoia. Scruggs (1892-1988) was a noted Dallas, TX etcher, illustrator, writer, author, designer, and artist, descendant of noted Kentucky Portrait Painter, Sam Woodson Price, and taught at SMU.

Small oblong quarto (183 × 245 mm), 16 pages with numerous two-colour line illustrations plus the colour-pictorial covers. Colour-pictorial card covers (featuring Roy Nockolds artwork), with colou…r illustrations on the inside panels; covers lightly rubbed, with a short crease to the front top corner; an excellent copy (internally fine). Donald Campbell has signed his portrait printed on the first page (done at a book launch in Adelaide at the time). The 1963 World Land Speed Record attempt at Lake Eyre was abandoned when a 20-year drought broke and the lake was flooded; a successful attempt was made the following year. Most of the illustrations relate to the construction of the Bluebird-Proteus CN7 vehicle used in both attempts. Offered together with an original gelatin silver photograph (191 × 236 mm) of a group of seven men leaning on or standing near the vehicle on the salt pan at Lake Eyre. The photograph was taken by Leonard George Gallagher, employed at the time by the Weapons Research Establishment in Adelaide; he was at Lake Eyre as part of the Commonwealth Government's contribution to the record attempt. He was not an official photographer, but he produced a unique album for his own benefit, which we sold some years ago. This print has a few creases; a better example of it was present in the album. A copy of 'Bluebird and the Dead Lake. The Story of Donald Campbell's Land Speed Record at Lake Eyre in 1964' by John Pearson (London, Collins, 1965; a very good copy with the dustwrapper) comes with the ephemera. [3 items]. Signed.

In the early hours on August 2, 1943, PT-109 was patrolling Blackett Strait, on the southern side of Kolombangara Island, when her starboard side was rammed, cut, and severely disabled by the Japanese destroyer Amagiri. Eventually sinking, her eleven survivors abandoned the boat, with Kennedy personally towing one of the crew and ensuring the men returned to the PT Base at Rendova. Kennedy became a hero and his story was published in Reader?s Digest. He would receive the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for his heroism and become the 35th President of the United States.Back in the 1990s, we were approached by Joe Martin. A veteran who had served in the Marine Corps, he got the idea of writing military heroes and medal winners with first day covers relevant to their experiences, and other media such as photographs, and getting them to sign them. Like Douglas MacArthur signed a surrender of Japan cover. Martin hoped one day to open a museum. He wrote many hundreds of letters, including his enclosures. His idea was very popular with the recipients of his requests, with many running interference for him with their colleagues. For example, one Medal of Honor winner would write to another and request cooperation. The Martin Collection was mammoth and unique and when he told us he wished to sell the collection, we were floored. We took advantage of the opportunity and bought it. It became the basis for our book, Military Autographs of the World, and ere long the wonderful pieces were sold.Recently we acquired a collection and lo and behold, one of the Martin pieces was included. Typed letter signed, on his United States Senate letterhead, May 13, 1957, to legendary collector Joseph Martin, who had sent him a World War II Navy cover to sign. This was the letter Martin sent Kennedy along with the cover. We hadn?t seen it in thirty years.?Thank you very much for your kind letter of recent date. I want you to know that I very much appreciate the interest and thoughtfulness which prompted you to write me and at your request, it is a pleasure to return herewith the U. S. Navy cover, autographed.? Anything that associates the hero of PT 109 with his naval service is a treasure.
