Photograph of President Truman, Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes, and others looking out an observation window... - NARA - 199298 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
This record of the operations of the Petroleum Administration for War, and its predecessor agency, the Office of Petroleum Coordinator, covering the period from May 28, 1941, to May 8, 1946, is one of a series of histories of wartime Government agencies, prepared in accordance with instructions by former President Franklin D. Roosevelt and President Harry S. Truman. It is more, however, than simply another report of simply another Federal agency. It is the history of a unique experience, dealing with an unprecedented program of Government-industry cooperation. The program began in June 1941, when representatives of the petroleum industry from all parts of the country were invited to Washington to meet with the then newly created Office of Petroleum Coordinator for National Defense of which Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes had been designated Coordinator. The oilmen, most of whom later acknowledged that they had been fearful of some new and far-reaching measures of Federal control, were told by the Coordinator and the Deputy Coordinator that all that was wanted of them was cooperation in what was then a vast and growing national defense effort, later to become a prodigious war job. The relationship, the leaders of petroleum were assured, was to be that of a team - -a partnership.

Since its first publication in 1934, "C.R.M.F. Cruttwell's A History
of the Great War" has been considered the classic account of the First
World War.The author's experiences as an infantry officer in France and
later as an intelligence officer at the British War Office gave him a
front-row seat to the conflict, which he describes with exemplary
objectivity and reason. His history remains invaluable for its unique,
detailed understanding of the causes and consequences of the war by one
who lived through it.Cruttwell's narrative begins with the rise of
nationalism in Europe, and ends with the fall of Constantinople to
Allied forces, documenting not only battles, advances and retreats, but
also the singular individuals who influenced the war's outcome. His
prose is vivid and unsentimental, at times critical, and always loyal to
the facts and events he witnessed during the 'war to end all wars.'
The author's concluding remarks on the nature of the war, written before
the hegemonic rise of the United States, are chilling and interesting
in light of current events: 'War between great states, equipped with
all the resources of science, cannot now be regarded as 'an instrument
of policy," he writes. 'It becomes inevitably a struggle for existence,
in which no limit can be placed on the expenditure of men and
money...[the War's] object became not merely to destroy the armed
forces of the belligerents...but also to break the war-will of the
peoples...in the latter states of the war the desire to make
intolerable the lives of all enemies, without distinction of age and
sex, was limited only by the capacity of fulfillment.' ISBN: 9780897333153 ISBN-10: 0897333152 Audience: Professional Format: Paperback Language: English Number Of Pages: 656 Published: 1st December 2007 Dimensions (cm): 21.6 x 14.0 x 4.0 Weight (kg): 0.694
A History of the Ptolemaic Kingdom covers three centuries from the
invasion of Egypt by Alexander the Great to the death of Cleopatra VII
(320-30 BC). From their base in Egypt, the Ptolemies created the most
powerful empire in the eastern Mediterranean, extending from the Great
Syrte in Libya to Palestine, Syria, Cyprus and Asia Minor. From 200 BC
the Ptolemies gradually lost their wider empire as a result of conflict
within the growing power of Rome. This book is a comprehensive survey
of the political history of the period. It shows how the Ptolemies
developed the kingship ideals of the Egyptian Pharaohs to create a new
ideal of Hellenistic monarchy. Hoelbl draws on both Greek and demotic
texts and inscriptions, as well as archaeological data and the artistic
record. There has been no general survey of Ptolemaic Egypt since J. P.
Mahaffy's a century ago, and this book will be a basic resource for
students of a period that is attracting increasing attention not least
because of the wealth of evidence from papyrus finds in both Greek and
demotic. ISBN: 9780415234894 ISBN-10: 0415234891 Audience: Professional Format: Paperback Language: English Number Of Pages: 416 Published: 28th September 2000 Dimensions (cm): 23.4 x 15.6 x 2.1 Weight (kg): 0.612
With a new foreword by Tim Cornell 'Can anyone be so indifferent or idle as not to care to know
by what means and under what kind of polity almost the whole inhabited
world was conquered and bought under the dominion of a single city of
Rome?' - Polybius, Greek Historian
The city of Rome created the foundations of an empire that would
come to challenge and conquer the great civilizations of Europe and the
Near East. H.H. Scullard's definitive and highly acclaimed study
reveals the peculiar genius of the Roman people, their predilection for
law and order and their powers of organization and administration, all
of which created a confederation the like of which the Greek World had
never seen.
He explores the political, military, economic and social history of
this incredible empire, showing how the Romans realized an ecumenical
ideal and embraced Western Civilization within one political system.
Celebrated for its political and military victories as well as its
incredible feats of engineering, literature and art. Scullard chartsthe
foundation of Rome, the establishment of the Republic, and its
spectacular rise until the fall of Carthage. Scullard not only explores
the accomplishments of the empire but vividly delves into the
corruptive foreign influences which began to undermine the moral
qualities of Rome, when lust for power superseded the desire for law
and order.
A superb overview of this charged historical epoch, A History of the Roman World takes us inside the pivotal events and struggles which have heavily influenced modern western civilizations.

Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery of Alamein has attracted the
attention of countless historians over the last 70 years but, despite
this coverage, views of his character remain controversial and
contradictory. His younger brother Brian, himself a successful soldier,
enters the fray with this charming and revealing book examining the
background of this legendary military commander. He provides a
fascinating account of the influences of Monty?s family genes together
with a wealth of unknown details about his career. His grandfather,
Sir Robert Montgomery, played a key role in crushing the Indian Mutiny
and his adventures have intriguing parallels with those of Monty?s two
generations later. Dean Farrar, his maternal grandfather, was a
powerful Victorian educational and religious figure (Headmaster of
Marlborough College and Dean of Canterbury) and author of the iconic
Eric, or Little by Little. The author examines in the most
entertaining and frank manner Monty?s idiosyncratic character traits;
his opposition to tradition, his Nelsonian approach to rules and
regulations, his ruthlessness and determination and his unfashionable
views on the absolute necessity for self publicity ? and the most
intensive training to get the maximum from his subordinates, down to
the most junior levels. AUTHOR: Lt Col Brian Montgomery MBE was the
youngest of nine children of Bishop Montgomery. Like his famous brother
he was commissioned into the Warwickshire Regiment before transferring
to the Indian Army. After WW2 he joined the Diplomatic Service. He
died in 1989. Viscount Montgomery, the author?s nephew and Monty?s son,
lives in Central London and can be approached for interview (via Pen
and Sword). SELLING POINTS: -Bernard Montgomery remains the most
popular, charismatic and controversial British military commander of
the Twentieth Century -A delightful, well-informed and interesting
account of Monty?s background and character -Gets ?behind the mask? of
this enigmatic man -Written by Monty?s brother ILLUSTRATIONS 16 pages

In his own uniquely acid tongue, Paul O'Grady traces the hilarious
tales of life in Irish Catholic Birkenhead that took him from a
virtuous altar-boy ("my first drag") to Britain's best loved
entertainer. It's a life that includes, varyingly, stints in an
abbatoir, as a social worker, in a high-class Mayfair brothel, and
traipsing down to London to chase his dreams. By 23, Paul O'Grady had
been a father, husband, drag queen, gay lover, divorcee, and
degenerate. He did it all with a smile on his face, making a mental
note to register the whip-smart one-liners that would later inform his
star-studded path from the fringes of comedy to the heart of the
British establishment, first as his own brilliant comic creation Lily
Savage, then, triumphantly, as himself. Paul's remarkable childhood and
early life is littered with a dizzying cast-list of rogues, rascals,
lovers, fighters, saints, and sinners. Oh, and one iconic bus
conductress. Told with pathos, love, empathy, and naturally, biting
humor, the story of Paul O'Grady is that of everyman, everywoman, and
inevitably, every drag act ever. He has been rich and poor, posh and
common, straight and gay. He has mixed with stars and whores and all
that's in between, slyly spotting the similarity between them all. His
amazing and riveting life story reminds us that there is, when all is
said and done, a bit of savage in all of us. ISBN: 9780553819489 ISBN-10: 0553819488 Audience: General Format: Paperback Language: English Number Of Pages: 464 Published: 4th June 2009 Dimensions (cm): 19.8 x 12.7 x 2.8 Weight (kg): 0.341

Ava Gardner was the sex symbol who dazzled the other sex symbols.
Elizabeth Taylor and Lana Turner thought her the most beautiful woman
they had ever seen. She drove Frank Sinatra to the brink of suicide.
Ernest Hemingway carried around one of her kidney stones as a sacred
memento. Howard Hughes begged her to marry him, she punched out his
front teeth. Her charismatic presence, jaw-dropping beauty and
scandalous adventures fuelled the legend that she became. Yet she was a

world's gaze for the last years of her life. Filled with fresh insights
gleaned from interviews with Ava's colleagues, friends and lovers, this
is the definitive biography of Hollywood's most glamorous, restless
and uninhabited star. ISBN: 9781408807088 ISBN-10: 1408807084 Series: Bloomsbury Lives of Women Audience: General Format: Paperback Language: English Number Of Pages: 560 Published: 18th January 2010 Dimensions (cm): 19.8 x 12.9 x 3.4 Weight (kg): 0.416
The explosive definitive account of the Michael Jackson saga,
chronicling the King of Pop's battles against child molestation charges
from 1993 to 2005, from award-winning journalist
Diane Dimond, who broke the story first, over twelve years ago
Michael Jackson has long captured the world's attention, first as the
dynamic lead singer of the Jackson Five, then during his highly
successful breakout solo career. But somewhere along the line Jackson
transformed himself into something hardly recognizable and was
investigated -- not once, but twice -- for crimes we could hardly
imagine.
Even now, after his unexpected acquittal on multiple charges of
child molestation, there is a sense that the real truth behind the
allegations is not known. The character of Michael Jackson -- from his
humble beginnings to his rich career and the birth of Neverland Ranch
-- is destined for great debate among fans, journalists, historians,
and psychiatrists for years to come. In the meantime, there is Diane
Dimond, the journalist of record on the Jackson case.
In November 2003, when the Santa Barbara county sheriff's department
conducted another raid on Neverland Ranch, Diane Dimond and her camera
crews were the only ones there to capture the moment and report the
news to the world. Now, for the first time, Dimond recounts the
multifaceted details of the Jackson case, utilizing her extensive notes
and sources. What she tells us is a shocking story.

"An in-depth and surprising biography of "the most beautiful girl in
the world" who became responsible for one of the 20th century's most
important inventions
"Hedy Lamarr's exotic beauty was heralded across Europe, but she
became infamous for her nude scenes in the scandalous film "Ecstasy.
"She became literally trapped in a marriage to Austria's munitions
baron, a man who befriended Mussolini and hid his Jewish heritage to
become an "honorary Aryan," at the beginning of World War II.
Lamarr fled Europe for Hollywood, where she became one of its most
glamorous stars, appearing opposite actors such as Clark Gable, Spencer
Tracy, and James Stewart. But as her beauty faded and she went from
one husband to the next, her personal troubles and legal wranglings
cast a shadow over her former image and phenomenal intelligence.
"Beautiful "separates the truth from the rumors about Lamarr's life,
and highlights her astonishing role as inventor of a technology that
has become an essential part of everything from military weaponry to
cell phones. ISBN: 9780312550981 ISBN-10: 0312550987 Audience: General Format: Hardcover Language: English Number Of Pages: 464 Published: 28th September 2010 Dimensions (cm): 23.6 x 16.3 x 3.8 Weight (kg): 0.726
Coming of age in Paris in the 1920s, film and stage actress Lois
Moran was a rumoured paramour of writer F Scott Fitzgerald and the
inspiration for the character of Rosemary in his "Tender Is the Night".
As a young girl, Lois moved to Paris with her mother and thrived in
the artistic and literary glow of the city. She danced with the
National Paris Opera at age 14 and also was cast in two French films.
Samuel Goldwyn, on a European tour in search of new talent, saw her
work, was impressed, and cast her in what would become one of the
best-known films of the era. With her performance as Laurel, the
emotionally conflicted daughter in Stella Dallas, Lois Moran became an
overnight sensation and took Hollywood by storm, and on her own terms.
She appeared in more than 30 Hollywood movies, from silent films to
early talkies, and was in one of the first dramatic television series,
Waterfront. She starred in two of the Gershwins' original Broadway
musical productions, "Of Thee I Sing and Let 'Em Eat Cake". Her circle
of friends and acquaintances ranged from Howard Hughes and Charles
Lindbergh to Al Jolson, John Gilbert, and Man Ray. The author, Richard
Buller, corresponded with Lois Moran during the last five years of her
life. He had full and exclusive access to her journals, scrapbooks, and
photos. In telling the Lois Moran story, Buller illuminates the
history of film, theatre, and television. He also includes a thorough
and unique account of the actress's relationship with Fitzgerald. ISBN: 9780879103125 ISBN-10: 0879103124 Audience: General Format: Hardcover Language: English Number Of Pages: 304 Published: 1st July 2005 Publisher: Hal Leonard Corporation Dimensions (cm): 22.8 x 15.2 x 3.0 Weight (kg): 0.744
Fifty years after her stunning debut at the Newport Folk Festival,
Joan Baez remains a musical force of nature whose influence is
incalculable. Her voice is part of the soundtrack of a generation, and
her commitment to social justice helped form its conscience. She marched
on the front line of the civil rights movement with Martin Luther
King, Jr., inspired Václav Havel in his fight for a Czech Republic,
sang on the first Amnesty International tour, and stood alongside
Nelson Mandela on his ninetieth birthday in London's Hyde Park. She
brought the '60s Free Speech Movement into the spotlight, organized
resistance to the war in Southeast Asia, and forty years later saluted
the Dixie Chicks for their courage to protest war. Her earliest
recordings fed a host of traditional ballads into the rock vernacular,
and she unself-consciously introduced Bob Dylan to the world in 1963 in
an effort to bring attention to songwriters that continues to this
day.
Hers is a journey of the spirit, told with intimacy and passion as
Baez shares her introduction to folk music and her baptism as its first
female star in the coffee houses of Cambridge, Massachusetts. She
recounts her musical and personal entwinement with Bob Dylan; her
marriage to David Harris, and their painful breakup; and the joy she
found upon the birth of her son, Gabriel.
With a new introduction by acclaimed music critic Anthony DeCurtis, And a Voice to Sing With
is the story of an American cultural icon. Marked by the openness and
vulnerability that have touched us in her music, and the passion and
integrity that have informed her politics, this is a disarmingly frank
and stirring memoir of the life and work of one of the most
extraordinary performers of our time.

I like to collect knives," says Angelina Jolie, "but I also collect
first edition books." At first glance, she might seem to be someone
without any secrets, talking openly about her love life, sexual
preferences, drug use, cutting, and tattoos—and why she kissed her
brother on the lips in public. And yet mysteries remain: What was really
going on in her brief, impulsive marriages to Jonny Lee Miller and
Billy Bob Thornton, and what is going on in her partnership with Brad
Pitt? What’s behind the oft-reported feud with her father, the
Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight? What drove her to become a mother of
six children in six years? And—perhaps most puzzling of all—what about
the other side of Angelina: How did this talented but troubled young
actress, barely 35 years old, become a respected Goodwill Ambassador for
the United Nations as well as the "most powerful celebrity in the
world" (unseating Oprah Winfrey) on Forbes’ 2009 Celebrity 100 list?
The answers that Andrew Morton has uncovered are astonishing, taking us
deep inside Angelina’s world to show us what shaped her as a child, as
an actress, and as a woman struggling to overcome personal demons that
have never before been revealed. In this spellbinding biography,
Andrew Morton draws upon far-reaching original interviews and research,
accompanied by exclusive private photographs, to show us the true
story behind both the wild excesses of Angelina’s youth and her
remarkable work with children and victims of poverty and disaster
today.

This first-ever biography of American actress Anne Francis will
enlighten her casual fans and earn a nod of agreement from her diehard
admirers. The star of such 1950s cinematic classics as Bad Day at Black
Rock, The Blackboard Jungle and Forbidden Planet, Anne made the risky
decision to transplant her talents to television--and as a result, her
acting has often been taken for granted. But TV supplied her with the
groundbreaking title role in Honey West (1965-66), where she became the
first leading actress to portray a private detective on a regular
weekly series.All of Anne Francis' film and television appearances are
chronicled, including a full episode guide for Honey West and a
complete listing of her guest roles on such series as The Twilight
Zone, The Untouchables and Murder, She Wrote. ISBN: 9780786463657 ISBN-10: 0786463651 Audience: General Format: Paperback Language: English Number Of Pages: 257 Published: 31st July 2011 Dimensions (cm): 25.4 x 17.8 x 2.0 Weight (kg): 0.476

Ava Gardner was one of the most glamorous and famous stars in
Hollywood in the 1940s and 1950s. Her list of films includes The
Killers, Showboat and Mogambo, for which she was nominated for an
Academy Award for best actress, and her co-stars included Clark Gable,
Gregory Peck, Burt Lancaster, Humphrey Bogart, Charlton Heston, and
Richard Burton - the A-list of male Hollywood stars. Married three
times - to Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw, and Frank Sinatra - the first two
lasted only about a year each whilst her marriage to Sinatra lasted
several. She had a long-running affair with Howard Hughes, and a
briefer one with George C. Scott, among others. In Ava Gardner, she has
much to say about her husbands and lovers, and some of her co-stars,
all of whom get Gardner's unflinchingly honest treatment. Ava Gardner
is irresistibly candid and surprising. She began the book because, as
she told Evans, 'it's either write the book or sell the jewels and I'm
kinda fond of the jewels.' At the time of their collaboration Gardner
was living in London, where she had lived for decades, smoking and
drinking heavily. Having suffered a stroke that damaged the left side of
her face and her left arm she had trouble sleeping and was often
depressed - the glamorous wardrobes replaced by grey. Her story could
itself have been depressing except for her wit and wickedness, which
are on full display in this book. This book tells the story of her life
as she wanted to tell it. Ava Gardner is the autobiography that Ava
Gardner began with writer Peter Evans in 1988. She never finished it
and decided against publishing it because of its frankness. She later
collaborated on a tamer autobiography, which was published at her death
in 1990. After Gardner's death, her estate authorised the book to be
published much as she and Evans had originally conceived it.

Synopsis So übernimmt Semir die ganze Verantwortung und führt
alleine alle weiteren Ermittlungen zum Fall Bankraub, bis plötzlich
einer der Bankräuber kaltblütig ermordet wird. Vor dem Kopf gestoßen,
zweifeln nun die beiden Polizisten an der Unschuld der Großbank und
vermuten eine dunkle Machenschaft dieser. Als zudem der Sohn der
Bankräuberin und Striptease-Tänzerin Maja, entführt wird, beginnt ein
Wettlauf gegen die Zeit. Um der Frage nach dem Übeltäter auf dem
Grund gehen zu können, bleibt Semir nichts anderes übrig als sich mit
der Großbank anzulegen. Währenddessen liefert sich der halbblinde Ben
eine halsbrecherische Jagd mit den Entführern.

From one of Germany’s leading young historians, the first
comprehensive biography of Eva Braun, Hitler’s devoted mistress,
finally wife, and the hidden First Lady of the Third Reich.
In
this groundbreaking biography of Eva Braun, German historian Heike
Görtemaker reveals Hitler’s mistress as more than just a vapid blonde
whose concerns never extended beyond her vanity table. Twenty-three
years his junior, Braun first met Hitler when she took a position as an
assistant to his personal photographer. Capricious, but uncompromising
and fiercely loyal—she married Hitler two days before committing
suicide with him in Berlin in 1945—her identity was kept secret by the
Third Reich until the final days of the war. Through exhaustive
research, newly discovered documentation, and anecdotal accounts,
Görtemaker turns preconceptions about Eva Braun and Hitler on their
head, and builds a portrait of the little-known Hitler far from the
public eye.
