Hattaway's Shades of Blue and Gray is an excellent introduction to the military history of the Civil War. While brief enough for the amateur historian to enjoy, this book is also suitable for scholars and features many valuable insights into the period. Hattaway adequately explains many of the complicated and technical aspects of the war in a way other works have failed to do. Shades of Blue and Gray gets to the heart of the military science involved in the war, and relates the Civil War to the world-wide development of modern warfare. This book is also excellent for anyone interested in Confederate General Stephen D. Lee, one of Hattaway's specialties. For anyone interested in the way the war was fought, this book is a must. First Ed thus; First Printing indicated.

(7 x 4.25 x 0.45 inches) . Translated by Helen Thomson. Language: English. Weight: 3.6 ounces. Mass Market Paperback. Georges Joseph Christian Simenon (1903 1989) was a Belgian writer. A prolific author who published nearly 500 novels and numerous short works, Simenon is best known as the creator of the fictional detective Commissaire Jules Maigret, who appears in 75 novels and 28 short stories. The first novel in the series, Pietr-le-Letton, was serialized in 1930 and appeared in book form in 1931; the last one, Maigret and Monsieur Charles, was published in 1972. The Maigret novels were translated into all major languages and several of them were turned into films and radio plays. Three films were made in the late 1950s and early 1960s, starring Jean Gabin: Maigret and the St. Fiacre Case; Maigret Sets A Trap; and Margret Sees Red. "Maigret's Rival" is one of the very best of the police procedurals by Georges Simenon that feature Commissaire Jules Maigret of the Paris Criminal Police solving a murder outside the capital, working without the benefit of his investigative assistants, forensic labs, and official credentials. The action takes place in the Atlantic Coast-based Vendee, in a small town peopled by self-preoccupied members of the haute bourgeosie and a peasantry suspicious of outsiders. Originally published in 1944 as "L'inspecteur Cadavre" and later translated into English as "Maigret and Inspector Cadavre," it features a Maigret whose investigative talents and ability to read the nuances of French social hierarchy are already well developed. In this instance, the Commissaire must solve the question of whether a young man run over by a train died as the result of an accident or murder. Despite efforts to stymie his inquiries, Maigret uncovers within a few days the secrets, motivations, and complex relationships--including several love affairs--that reveal the truth of the grisly death. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 176 pages.

"Maigret and the Apparition" (Maigret et la fantome) is one of Georges Simenon's late-career police procedurals featuring Commissaire Jules Maigret, head of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Paris Police. With the action playing out in the capital and engaging other than nightclub habitues, it was, for me, a winner from the start. What makes it most unusual and charming are the major roles played by a lowly inspector from one of the city's arrondissements and by Madame Maigret, who comes to aid of the inspector's hypochondriacal wife. The case begins when Lognon, known to his colleagues as "Inspector Hapless," is seriously wounded while conducting surveillance unauthorized by his superiors. In these circumstances, the Commissaire will be challenged to establish first why Lognon was shot and then pin down how this relates to the upper reaches of the Paris art scene. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 159 pages.

Three films were made in the late 1950s and early 1960s, starring Jean Gabin: Maigret and the St. Fiacre Case; Maigret Sets A Trap; and Margret Sees Red. In "Scruples", Maigret is visited separately by a man and wife, both unhappy in their marriage and both fearful that the other is planning to him/her in. The Inspector is uncomfortable in the situation as no official charges are made, so arrests or official police action can be taken. He's also sure that something violent is in the works. When the worst does happen, the event has an outcome that is a surprise for everyone involved. Classic Simenon: a look at humans in crisis and how they react. There is fine subtlety and understanding of human peccadilloes here that makes this short book very much worth reading. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 187 pages.

Georges Joseph Christian Simenon (1903 1989) was a Belgian writer. A prolific author who published nearly 500 novels and numerous short works, Simenon is best known as the creator of the fictional detective Commissaire Jules Maigret, who appears in 75 novels and 28 short stories.

Three films were made in the late 1950s and early 1960s, starring Jean Gabin: Maigret and the St. Fiacre Case; Maigret Sets A Trap; and Margret Sees Red. Maigret's Pickpocket was published as Le Voleur de Maigret in 1967. It was translated by Nigel Ryan. A thief steals Maigret's wallet on a bus, then returns it in an apparent fit of remorse. Interviewed, he discloses the horrific death of his wife, who has been shot. Maigret begins an investigation into the murder, which has happened on the fringes of the film world. His confidant, his pickpocket, is a tortured genius whose poverty has deformed him. The circle of his acquaintances whom Maigret meets confuse the real with the apparent. To understand the crime he has to understand the people concerned. Simenon, who knew quite a bit about the film world (he was a regular at Cannes, where he sometimes judged, and an intimate of Federico Fellini) describes the financial poseurs who act as producers, the actresses who will do anything for a part, the writers and directors hungering to be proclaimed as geniuses, the hangers on who put their careers on hold for easy film money. For anyone with an interest in cinema this is a fascinating depiction. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 151 pages.
