| AN AMERICAN MELODRAMA by Lewis Chester and Godfrey Hodson A President who refused to run, a candidate murdered, war, riots and a photo finish. Those who expected the 1968 campaign to be predictable could hardly have been more wrong. The authors have not only covered this year but they have drawn a portrait of America in the act of choosing a leader. From the first beginnings of the McCarthy rebellion to the inauguration. They were there at the shooting of Bobby Kennedy and were gassed by Mayor Daley's police in Chicago. Interviews with Black Power militants,Ku-Klux Clan leaders, Marines in Khe Sanh and Professors at Harvard all contribute to this account.1969, Book Club Associates, Literary Guild, ,< X-01>,Heavy book .814pp, dust marks on edges ow good in dw, , Subject...Other Topics - Diverse Subjects…Web No. 17939-01..............................£10.00 |

| ANTI-SEMITISM by Dan Cohn-Sherbok Anti-Semitism has featured in the history of Western civilization since the Greeks. Dan Cohn-Sherbok traces the origins of anti-Semitism and its manifestations, from political opposition, to racial persecution, and religious and philosophical justification for some of history's most outrageous acts. This book asks why, throughout history, the Jews have been hated and murdered - from the early Church's anti-Judaism to the Third Reich, and the modern Arab/Jew hatred.

| THE FRONTIERS OF PRIVILEGE: A CENTURY OF SOCIAL CONFLICT AS REFLECTED IN 'THE QUEEN' by Quentin Crewe Launched in 1861 'The Queen' was a "Ladies newspaper and Court Chronicle" aimed at those who attended court functions, and those who would have loved to have been invited. This is a social history for the most socially privileged. The General Strike was never mentioned in the pages of this newspaper as the editor didn't think it would be of interest to his readers! It included fashion, servant problems, theatre, attitudes to war - but nothing too deep. This is a taste of its first hundred years, spanning numerous Colonial and two World Wars.1961, Collins, , ,< X-01>,Large Format 253pp ills, Grey boards, slightly bowed, , , Subject...Other Topics - Diverse Subjects…Web No. 32383-01..............................£10.00 |

| THE DAMNABLE QUESTION: A STUDY IN ANGLO-IRISH RELATIONS by George Dangerfield Throughout the 19th century the Irish Question was a thorn in the side of English Statesmen. The policy of Home Rule or Self Government in Domestic Matters was being steered through Parliament with hope of great success by Charles Parnel leader of the Irish party. However following his disgrace and death in 1890 the cause of irish nationalism lost some of its momentum leaving the thorn to fester until Easter Rising of 1916 an event the author maintains that is central to the whole study of Anglo-Ireland in modern history.1977, Constable, , 0094616205,< X-01>,400pp 20 bw photos., Dw faded on spine.
