The Louisiana Purchase

First Edition. 20½ X 14 cm. Fine/Fine. Red boards, white titles on spine, vi, 186 pp, bibliography. DJ in Brodart archival cover. From the DJ: "Taking us behind the scenes in Thomas Jefferson's raw 'federal village' of Washington, D.C., and inside the duplicitous world of Napoeonic Paris, Fleming shows how Bonaparte haters in Spain, the French army's disastrous failure in Haiti, some wily American negotiating, and Napoleon's resolve to renew his war with 'perfidious Albion' led to the momentous French decision to sell Louisiana--and cede 838, 000 square miles of land to the United States. Along the way, we meet a host of fascinating characteers as they attempt to advance their nations' interests--and their personal ambitions--through diplomacy, threats, lies, bribery, and treachery.."

The Workers in American History
Publisher: New York: The Rand School of Social Science, 1921..
4th ed. 18½ X 13 cm. G+/No dj. Mauve pebble-grained cloth, gilt titles on front board, 208, [5] pp, footnotes, index. Rebound thus, originally side-stapled, presumably in wraps. This is very near fine except for tearing at gutter and around the staple holes of the first few leaves; bookplate on fpd. Rather than a history of the labor movement per se, this is a view of American history from the bottom up: "It is my own conviction that a general knowledge of the historical evolution of the American working class; its subjection to various forms of economic servitude in the colonies; its social and economic life at various periods of American history; its splendid achievements as an organized force in the three decades following 1828, and its subsequent history, would give the modern workers a historical culture that would add to their discipline and solidarity and enable them to march to the front as the most intelligent and progressive working class movement in the world."

Ferrell, Robert H.
Truman: A Centenary Remembrance
Publisher: New York: The Viking Press, 1984..
First US Edition. 26 X 19½ cm. Fine/Near Fine. Quarter red cloth with blue paper-covered boards textured to resemble cloth, 256 pp, numerous b&w photos, notes, index. Tail of spine slightly rubbed. DJ lightly creased near edges, else fine in Brodart archival cover. From the DJ: "..draws on the rich archives at the Truman Library and includes a wealth of material from the cache of family memorabilia recently discovered in the attic of the Truman home. More than two hundred photos of Harry, Bess, and Margaret, many of them appearing here for the first time, show us this much-loved First Family -- the Trumans' was perhaps the happiest of all Presidential marriages -- as it will always be remembered: homey, spontaneous, informal, without any cosmetics or public-relations veneer. Complementing the pictures is the story of Truman's life and career told by Robert Ferrell, a distinguished authority on the man and the era.. And though the author wears his learning lightly in this delightfully informal account, his unique knowledge of the Truman archives enables him time and time again to marshal the appropriate quotation or anecdote to illuminate his text."

Haldeman, H. R. with Joseph DiMona
The Ends of Power
Publisher: New York: Times Books, 1978..
BOMC. 24 X 16 cm. Dark blue cloth with gilt facsimile signature on front board, red endpapers, xxi, 326 pp, 8 ff b&w photo plates. When we bought this book, it was new in shrink wrap, but the shrink wrap was abraded near top of fore-edge of front board and at bottom of front hinge. The jacket has chips in these two places, and cloth has two small but heavily abraded spots as well. Otherwise, the book and jacket are as new, with the DJ in a Brodart archival cover. From the DJ: "As Chief of Staff to the President, H. R. Haldeman was present at almost every meeting of any importance. He knew more about Nixon's real opinions and feelings than any other member of the Administration.. Because of his willingness to admit his own mistakes, it is easier to accept his candid assessment of errors made by President Nixon, Charles Colson, John Dean, and others. Haldeman also reveals some of the extraordinary accomplishments of the Nixon Presidency, secret until now, including two nuclear confrontations with the Soviet Union as perilous as the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962."

Truman began to write down his typically blunt, honest commentaries about FDR and his other colleagues, the job of the presidency, the workings of the government and the Constitution -- and his picks for the nation's best and worst presidents.
