It was a world of which Flaubert said, "the gods no longer existed, and Christ had not yet arrived. Here, between the period of Cicero and that of Marcus Aurelius, was a unique moment in time, when man existed alone, a greatness unknown before or since..." At the artistic crossroads of this world stood Rome, beneficiary of influences coming from Etruria, Magna Graecia, the Hellenistic centers of the Mediterranean-aesthetically connected in a direct line with Greece. In ROMAN AND EARLY CHRISTIAN PAINTING, Gerald Gassiot-Talabot explores these influences on Roman and Early Christian art, but he… Read More

For decades, books about John or Robert Kennedy have woven either a shimmering tale of Camelot gallantry or a tawdry story of runaway ambition and reckless personal behaviour. But the real story of the Kennedys in the 1960s has long been submerged - until now. In Brothers: The Hidden History of the Kennedy Years, David Talbot sheds dramatic new light on the tumultuous inner life of the Kennedy presidency and its stunning aftermath. Brothers begins on the shattering afternoon of November 22, 1963, as a grief-stricken Robert Kennedy urgently demands answers about the assassination of his brother. Bobby's suspicions immediately focus on the nest of CIA spies, gangsters and Cuban exiles that had long… Read More

In rare instances, a book about a criminal episode transcends its immediate stll)ject and achieves a stature beyond the conventional "true crime" genre. Truman Capote's In Cold Blood is a case in point along with Thomas Thompson's Blood and Money. Badge of the Assassin belongs in that company. The story begins with a brutal double murder: at a Harlem housing project in May 1971, two on-deity New York City policemen are ruthlessly gunned down by members of the self-proclaimed Black Liberation Army. An agonizing cross-country manhunt for the killers ensues, leading detectives into every corner of the black revolutionary underworld: to San Francisco, to New Orleans, to a rundown farm in a small town… Read More

"By Way of Preface: - I have not the slightest doubt that the small group of scholars who will read my little book will agree with me that in the chronicle play of Sir Thomas Moore, written in the last decade of the sixteenth century, we have one of the most valuable and interesting relics of the Age of Shakspere. This play, preserved to us in manuscript form, is unique in many respects. Not only was it never acted, though it has some very effective and affecting scenes, but it was not printed until almost the middle of the nineteenth century. Of the three thousand plays which it has been estimated were written during the reigns of… Read More
