Prince Metternich: Statesman and Lover
Publisher: New York: Alliance Book Corporation, 1940..
First Edition. 24 X 16 cm. VG/G. Light blue cloth, titles stamped in gold ink on spine, coat of arms on front board, frontis., xvi, 365 pp, biographical table, index. Titles on spine dulled, boards fading slightly near edges, water mark to top edge near spine (not visible on margins), gift inscription on recto of ffep. DJ looking rather browned & beat up, with chips, small holes & tears, but substantially complete; in Brodart archival cover. From the DJ: "It was not Europe's armies but Metternich, the statesman, who, through years of unceasing preparations, finally defeated his enemy Napolean.. As interesting as a biography of such a strong and colorful personality as Metternich himself might be, the acquaintance with his political work and methods appears to be of paramount importance to us today, when Europe, and even the entire world, is threatened by another conqueror."

IN THE WAKE OF THE PLAGUE The Black Death and the World It Made
Publisher: Harper Perennial New York.
Very Good, 2005, Later Printing, Paperback 9780060014346 Used in trade paperback. A clean, tight copy. Minor curling to the edges. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 245 pages; The Black Death was the fourteenth century's equivalent of a nuclear war. It wiped out one-third of Europe's population, taking a million lives. And yet, most of what we know about it is wrong. The details of the Plague etched in the minds of terrified schoolchildren -- the hideous black welts, the high fever, and the awful end by respiratory failure -- are more or less accurate. But what the Plague really was and how it made history remain shrouded in a haze of myths. Now, Norman Cantor, the premier historian of the Middle Ages, draws together the most recent scientific discoveries and groundbreaking historical research to pierce the mist and tell the story of the Black Death as a gripping, intimate narrative.

Davis, William Stearns
The Roots of the War: A Non-technical History of Europe, 1870-1914 A.D.
Publisher: New York: The Century Co., 1918..
Ex-Library. 19½ X 14 cm. G+/No dj. Written in collaboration with William Anderson & Mason W. Tyler of the faculty of the University of Minnesota. Olive cloth, black titles on front board & spine, [xii], 557 pp, index. Spine ends beginning to fray, else very good, corners bumped, a few pencil notes, usual library markings including "Withdrawn" stamps. According to the introduction, this book "is an attempt to relate in a non-technical fashion the history of the development of the various forces that led up to the catastrophe of 1914.. By general consent the period of history which ended in 1914 saw its beginning in 1870 when the Prussian militarists won their original triumph over France, thereby establishing a precedent for the use of armed force as a wise supplement to flagging diplomacy, a precedent that was to be applied with incalculable effect upon a much greater field of action forty-four years later." Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Shipping weight 2 lbs.

Fraser, Nicholas
THE VOICE OF MODERN HATRED Tracing the Rise of Neo-Fascism in Europe
Publisher: Overlook Press Woodstock, NY.
As New, 2001, First US Edition, Paperback 1585673323 Used in wraps. A bright, clean copy - appears unread. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 304 pages; The end of the twentieth century was marked by a resurgence of right-wing politics across Europe and, in Bosnia and Kosovo, atrocities comparable to the most degrading events of the Second World War. Nicholas Fraser spent three years traveling across Europe to meet, confront, and try to understand the personalities behind this resurgence and assess the threat they pose to democracy. He interviewed members of the "traditional" Far Right groups, sat in meetings held by local Führers in Denmark, Belgium, and Germany, and spoke with the leaders who have learned to code their language in euphemism rather than overtly spread their message of hate. In looking at neo-Facism's recent history in Europe-its philosophical antecedents and its modern-day adherents-Nicholas Fraser provides a deep background for the crucial and ongoing debate about how democracies should deal with the Far Right.

The pen-pictures are artistically wrought and present in a natural and charming manner the customs of foreign peoples.
