Lengthy introduction, about 4 pages by Kathy Eldon, Dan's mother and editor of book. By the time he was twenty-two, Dan Eldon had led a relief mission across Africa; worked as a graphic designer in New York; studied (intermittently) at four colleges; traveled through Europe, Africa, Japan, and the US; founded a charity for Mozambiquan refugees; directed a film; written a book; started up his own photography business; and become a photojournalist for Reuters news agency, covering the famine and civil war in Somalia. There, in 1993, he was killed in an eruption of mob violence while on assignment. In a world of rules and regularity, Eldon was a renegade, a risk-taker, and an adventurer.This is a collage of photos, drawings, words, maps, clippings, paint, scraps, shards, and trash that reveals his strange and vivid life., Chronicle Books, 1997, 1997, 4, New York, NY, USA: Thomas Dunne Books, St. Martin's Press, 2010.

Israel is a unique country - well, apart from anything else, where else would you find a Hungarian Jew, masquerading as an Arab and buying his camel on hire purchase? But if it's a country unique in its eccentricities it's also a nation unique in its problems For a writer it is all too easy to see Israel in terms of absolutes: absolutely right, absolutely wrong - when it's not even absolutely Jewish. Israel is people, and it is the people George Mikes talked to who make this book not only funny, but also informative, lucid and full of insights. Mr. Mikes does not shirk the issues, he looks at the old problems: Arab hostility, the Palestinian refugees; and at the new ones created by the Six Day War, like the occupied territories and the changing attitudes of the outside world. He sees no easy answers; but he does show us that, like other countries, Israel is concerned not only with the big problems but also with the small ones - like getting its citizen to drink more alcohol and living up to the expectations of American tourists. In writing a book that is both funny and serious, sympathetic but critical, about a country that so closely involves the emotions, George Mikes has brought off a triumph.

Book is curved in the middle and the edges of several pages are dinged/creased. Marvin Leonard Kalb (born June 9, 1930) is an American journalist. Kalb was the founding director of the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy and Edward R. Murrow Professor of Press and Public Policy from 1987 to 1999. The Shorenstein Center and the Kennedy School are part of Harvard University. He is currently a James Clark Welling Fellow at George Washington University and a member of the Atlantic Community Advisory Board. He is a guest scholar in Foreign Policy at the Brookings Institution. Bernard Kalb (born February 4, 1922) is an American journalist, moderator, media critic, lecturer, and author. He covered international affairs for more than three decades at CBS News, NBC News and The New York Times. Nearly half that time he was based abroad in Indonesia, Hong Kong, Paris and Saigon. Near the end of his tenure at the Times, Kalb received a fellowship from the Council on Foreign Relations - awarded annually to a foreign correspondent - and took a leave from the newspaper for a year. He also won an Overseas Press Club Award for a 1968 documentary on the Vietcong. He and his younger brother, journalist Marvin Kalb, traveled extensively with Henry Kissinger on diplomatic missions and later wrote a biography together entitled Kissinger. The two brothers also co-authored The Last Ambassador, a novel about the collapse of Saigon in 1975. He is Sadat's brother, Golda's son, Chou's strolling partner. He is also a Nobel Laureate and a charming hieroglyphic whose skill, wit, and total aplomb have virtually eclipsed the presidency. The world is his stage - Peking, Moscow, Cairo, Tel Aviv - and to all these arenas of power, Marvin and Bernard Kalb have traveled with him. This is their portrait of Henry Kissinger, giant of the twentieth century. In this book the authors examine the method and meaning of Henry Kissinger's foreign policy. Henry Alfred Kissinger (born Heinz Alfred Kissinger; May 27, 1923) is an American politician, diplomat, and geopolitical consultant who served as United States Secretary of State and National Security Advisor under the presidential administrations of Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. A Jewish refugee who fled Nazi Germany with his family in 1938, he became National Security Advisor in 1969 and U.S. Secretary of State in 1973. For his actions negotiating a ceasefire in Vietnam, Kissinger received the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize under controversial circumstances, with two members of the committee resigning in protest. A practitioner of Realpolitik, Kissinger played a prominent role in United States foreign policy between 1969 and 1977. During this period, he pioneered the policy of détente with the Soviet Union, orchestrated the opening of relations with the People's Republic of China, engaged in what became known as shuttle diplomacy in the Middle East to end the Yom Kippur War, and negotiated the Paris Peace Accords, ending American involvement in the Vietnam War. Kissinger has also been associated with such controversial policies as U.S. involvement in the 1973 Chilean military coup, a "green light" to Argentina's military junta for their Dirty War, and U.S. support for Pakistan during the Bangladesh War despite the genocide being perpetrated by his allies. After leaving government, he formed Kissinger Associates, an international geopolitical consulting firm. Kissinger has written over one dozen books on diplomatic history and international relations. Kissinger remains a controversial and polarizing figure in American politics, both condemned as an alleged war criminal by many journalists, political activists, and human rights lawyers, as well as venerated as a highly effective U.S. Secretary of State by many prominent international relations scholars., Dell Publishing, Inc, 1975, 2<

Hardcover. 8vo hardcover 326pp. very good+ / very good+ d/w. From Kirkus Reviewsn Tedious account of riveting events surrounding Count Folke Bernadotte's release of prisoners from German concentration camps and his subsequent assassination, by Schwarz (co-author, The Peter Lawford Story, 1988, etc.). This is a story of unlikely allies--the idealistic Boy Scout leader Count Folke Bernadotte and the sinister SS leader Heinrich Himmler--who join in an even more unlikely enterprise: the freeing of Jews from concentration camps during the final months of WW II. The problem here is that Schwarz isn't very good on people: he utterly destroys Bernadotte (even for his own uses) by failing to plant any seeds of greatness, or even growth: ``Bernadotte's even being a gofer seemed to tax Bernadotte's abilities''; he was ``a self-centered playboy''; his sister ``knew her brother was immature, a spoiled rich boy with limited intelligence.'' Bernadotte, says Schwarz, ``seemed to envision the SS a little like summer sleep-away camp counsellors gathering the children together for parents' day.'' But somehow this incompetent cut a deal with the Nazis, and Schwarz gives no clear sense of how the miracle occurred. Jumping hither and thither in a kind of quasi-epic style, Schwarz obscures his story with a good deal of retold, peripheral material on the Goebbels family, and on events like the assassination of Heydrich and the subsequent razing of Lidice. Nor is Bernadotte's ``maturing process'' very clear; it's been rendered virtually impossible by the early description. The fascinating Yitzhak Shamir, dominant presence in the Stern Gang (generally assumed to have assassinated Bernadotte), never really comes into focus either, but his motives do: Bernadotte, proceeding on the Wilsonian notion of self-determination, proposed an Arab state that would allow Jews ``special rights.'' Like Wilson, he irritated everyone, especially the Stern Gang. A huge drama full of players on the grand scale, none of whom comes alive within the confines of this treatment. -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. nnFrom Book News, Inc.n Schwarz relates the story of the disparate characters and forces that converged around Count Folke Bernadotte, who engineered the rescue of nearly 30,000 concentration camp prisoners only to be later assassinated by Zionist extremists during his attempts to negotiate a peace between Arabs and Jews in Jerusalem in 1948.
