Robert Kagan, an adviser on Central American policy in the Reagan administration, offers a sharply critical history of what he perceives to be American missteps in Nicaragua during a time of revolution … A tiny and politically inconsequential country, Nicaragua occupied a front-burner place in negotiations between the United States and Soviet Union, even when neither party seemed to care much about the ultimate fate of that nation … In the end, the Reagan doctrine of containment ended in failure, as an avowedly Marxist government held power for more than a decade … But so, too, did the Soviet doctrine of expansionism yield no fruit. Kagan credits Costa Rican president Oscar Arias with finding a way to break the impasse in U.S.-Soviet-Nicaraguan relations, thanks to which the Bush administration… Read More

Roger Kahn, himself Jewish, had his own answer, worked out through time and experience. But he wanted to explore it with others, so he launched a professional query.Kahn met with hundreds of other Jewish-Americans in all walks of life. From them he selected a gallery of individuals who struck him as representative...among them a youth at his Bar Mitzvah, a comedian at his work, a concentration camp survivor in Hollywood, a doctor on his rounds."Kahn wakes us to the feelings of the Jewish minority and thereby engages our understanding of all minority groups...deeply moving and intensely felt."

For years, members of the press enjoyed making Mel Belli into one of the most celebrated lawyers of the 20th century. What the press liked about Mel was his colourful ways and his colourful clients and the shows he directed in and out of court. He had a bruising battle in Dallas for defending Jack Ruby for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. He had a string of bitter encounters almost everywhere defending himself against the onslaughts of establishment lawyers who didn't like his quick tongue - or maybe the flamboyant red lining of the suits he wore in court. But Mel Belli didn't keep making the public print because of his famous clients or his attire. He did so because he was a good lawyer with heart and wit and originality, a man who developed demonstrative evidence in non-criminal cases, persuaded juries across the… Read More

Under the badgering scrutiny of reporters like go-getter Darius Kane of NNS, Vandenberg is trying for that Big Meeting of Minds: Israel, the Arab states, and Palestinian Sadat's "OLPP." And when the OLPP kidnaps Mrs. V. in Jordan, it's really an overture--an invitation to a super-secret meeting (in Jerusalem!) between the Secretary and a smuggled-in Sadat. The astonishingly successful meeting isn't hush-hush enough, however; the room is bugged, the leaked tape is doctored to suggest a… Read More

Text for Jewish Religious School Literature Readers
This collection of stories deals with prominent characters in Jewish history from Johannan Ben Zakkai in the days of the Emperor Vespasian down to Isaac Meyer Wise and Theodor Herzl. The lives included offer fine examples of heroism and unselfish devotion and in one or two of the accounts -- that of the Rothschild family of Frankfort, for example, and of Sabbatai Zevi, the famous "Turkish Messiah," there is an inherent dramatic quality.

From End Flap: Kallen, the philosopher wanders through Europe and Palestine and ponders on the sights which which Kallen the Jew sees. In the slums of Jerusalem and Warsaw and Lodz; of Moscow and Kharkov and Odessa, on the plains of Jezreel and the Ukrainian flatlands, he sees the Jews embattled as on the last frontiers of hope, champions, often unconsciously, of the Hebraic spirit in European civilization, and in American civilization, too.

Kirkus Review: Here, Kupperman (Senior Advisor to the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Georgetown) and Kamen (national security specialist for INN) team up, with slim results, to tout the dangers of the new era of high-tech terrorism. According to the authors, the bad news is that instigators of international terrorism have refined their act, bringing the infrastructures of nations—including the US—into their sights; and the further bad news is that "at best, international terrorism can be contained; sometimes it can be deterred; but it can not be eliminated." Kupperman and Kamen highlight the Pan Am 103 bombing in Lockerbie as the vanguard of a new art of techno-terrorism (the culprit was a bomb planted within a tiny transistor radio). Terrorists now have, they claim, the ability to wipe… Read More

About The Book: Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Michael Kammen explores the U.S. Constitution's place in the public consciousness and its role as a symbol in American life, from ratification in 1788 to our own time. As he examines what the Constitution has meant to the American people (perceptions and misperceptions, uses and abuses, knowledge and ignorance), Kammen shows that although there are recurrent declarations of reverence most of us neither know nor fully understand our Constitution. How did this gap between ideal and reality come about? To explain it, Kammen examines the complex and contradictory feelings about the Constitution that emerged during its preparation and that have been with us ever since. He begins with our confusion as to the kind of Union we created, especially with regard to how much sovereignty the… Read More

Kang at first wrote in Korean and Japanese, switching to English only in 1928 and under the tutelage of his American wife, Frances Keeley.[5] He worked as an editor for the Encyclopedia Britannica and taught at New York University, where his colleague Thomas Wolfe read the opening chapters of his novel The Grass Roof and recommended it to Scribner's publishing house.[5] The book was admired by such other authors as Rebecca West and H.
