Publisher: 1986 by Harper & Row, Publishers First Ed. Hardcover, First Edition (U.S.), 512 pages Approx. Size 9.5" by 6.5" "This is popular history at its best: accessible and fascinating reading for those who know little about the subject; containing enough new material and insight to command the attention of serious scholars. Beschloss tells the story in concentric rings outward from the personal problems of pilot Francis Gary Powers, to the way foreign policy was conducted in the Eisenhower Administration, to the international context of 1960, and finally to the long-term, mostly unfortunate repercussions of a serious American blunder." Book is in very good condition as is dust jacket. Jacket shows a bump to bottom spine which effect the book only very slightly. Minor bumped corners. Looks to be hardly if ever read. Spotless interior. Black and White photos at center. Would be fantastic gift for the Military buff or War interests. Please see photos and email with any questions prior to purchase. Thanks for stopping in! |
