From dust jacket: Since the three volumes brought together here were first published during World War II, Alan Moorehead has gained world-wide fame and thousands of new readers. For that new public they are now brought together in a single volume. All the qualities which have built his reputation are fully present in this brilliant narrative of the desert war, and only in Gallipoli does one find an equal emotional intensity. Moorehead, then a young correspondent, covered virtually every aspect of war in Africa. He reported at first hand the hardships and heroism of the British Eighth Army -- the Raj of Tobruk -- as they were driven back by the pounding of Rommel's Africa Kiorps. He shared their pursuit of Rommel after Montgomery's stand at El Alamein, saw the vital sea war from the decks of a corvette, and felw a bombing mission against enemy troops and equipment. He describes the intrigue and shifting complex of relationships which dominated the diplomatic side of the war -- Robert Murphy's secret mission to win Vichy approval of the American landings in Algeria; the American role in Africa, from embarkation to the climactic link-up with Montgomery in Tunisisa; the Battle of the Kasserine Pass, in which the raw GIs first suffered the full fury of the Afrika Korps. In the words of The NEw Yorker, Morrehead "sees war as an enormous visual drama, and conveys the feeling of it vividly and truly." His portrays of the British soldiers and their gritty courage, of the pathetic Italian soldiers who had hoped to live opulently in their new slice of empire, of the generals -- Auchinleck, Montgomery, Eisenhower, Rommel, Gott -- reflecting his extraordinary ability to evoke through significant detail the sweep of great historical events.

Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), silver letters, 423 pp. Very Good in a Very Good dust jacket. From dust jacket: Of all Ingrid Bergman's classic roles, none was aas dramatic as her own life. Once the greatest star in the world, she followed her heart into the biggest celebrity scandal in post-war film history, only to return triumphant and once again enshrined. Her career spanned forty years, as she brought her astonishing screen presence to star in a string of classics -- Intermezzo, Casablanca, Gaslight, and Notorious. She was heralded and adored for her wholesome beauty, her devotion to her family, her womanly vulnerability, and her clean lifestyle; even in the screen role of a woman involved in an illicit affair; Ingrid Bergman always seemed pure, the ideal of feminine virtue. But when she left her husband and daughter for lover Roberto Rossellini, an illegitimate child, and an unconventional film career in Italy, she was condemned from church pulpits, from the Senate floor, and by the same fan magazines that had worshiped her. Yet in later years she was once again one of the most admired and revered women in the world, and she went on to shine in such films as Anastasia and Autumn Sonata and for ten long years to fight a courageous battle against cancer. But who was the real Ingrid Bergman? Performing Arts, Biography, Women's History, Theater, Theatre. bslic.

From dust jacket: Hitler often called Stalin a :fellow of genius," for whom he had "unreserved respect"; he recognized in Stalin a worthy opponent with his own inflexible will. Professor John Erickson has written the comprehensive account of their conflict. In this first of two volumes on Stalin's war with Germany, he surveys the battleground of the Eastern front where Hitler went astray at the peak of his power. Focusing on Soviet command decisions, he follows the movements of the Red Army from the edge of destruction to triumph at Stalingrad, where it "caught a tiger by the tail.' He discusses the preparedness of the two armies, examining the effects of Stalin's purge of the Staff Officers in the old Soviet military establishment. He describes the war games of the pre-Barbarossa period, those "shadowy and symbolic conflicts" which augured catastrophes to come. Battle by battle and decision by decision he describes how the ponderous military machine, hounded by disaster, came finally to grips with halting the Blitzkrieg. This volume culminates in Stalin's strategic offensive which turned the tide at Stalingrad. He considers these complex military situations with authoritative accuracy, and at the same time conveys the relevance of massive detail on troop movements and staff decisions. Professor Erickson brings together economic, political, strategic and intelligence material in the most complete account of this mammoth subject ever published His research includes documents from both Russian and German sources previously unpublished and unobtainable. He combines scholarship with fascinating readability in this definitive study of the duel between Hitler and Stalin.
