They Fought For Their Lives - And For A New Jewish Future Critical comment: Explains the dream, the drive and the reality which brought a small nation through perilous times. A fine book and a delight to read. Cleveland Press Permits the reader the privilege, the sometimes painful privilege, of looking directly into the soul of the ordinary Israeli. With keen insight, restraint, power and passionate commitment, Ted Berkman has dug into the heart of Israel's Six Day War. As objectively written as it is possible to write, well worth reading and owning. Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle Brings us not only personal witness (of the war) but an introduction to the men and women of this new country . . . a people who will not see the repetition of violence and persecution against itself. Los Angeles Times Fascinating; a marvelous book for young people, and refreshing for adults as well. (Norfolk) Virginian Pilot Grips the reader's attention like a first-rate suspense novel. Wichita Falls (Tex.) Times Vivid, graphic; swift magnetic style that is eminently readable. Rabbi Louis Newman Sabra is not only the most vivid book on the Six-Day War . . . but a most vivid portrait of all Israel. Ted Berkman makes understandable a complex society, ultra-orthodox to atheistic, communal to capitalist, primitive to sophisticated, fused into unity. Not of least importance is the sense of abhorrence of war that is purveyed in all these warriors. Meyer Levin A clear, complete and gripping account of a brief but complex war. The reader is sitting in an Israeli pilot seat as the Egyptian air force gets smashed on the ground; riding a spearhead tank through the smoking Mitla Pass; storming Jordanian trenches and breaching Jerusalem's walls. New York Times, Sunday Book Section Deeply moving, magnificent, Detroit Jewish News An affecting, sometimes too painful look at a people whom love of country has made larger than life. Berkman has a flair for the fast, vivid vignette. Publisher's Weekly Straightforward, clearly and pointedly written, the book is, like the native-born Israeli sabra, unsentimental. Providence (Rhode Island) Journal Easily the best story in a long time. Fast moving action, vivid word pictures, reading one cannot lay down till the end. A significant book, to be read twice and shared with others. New England Farmer

Combining traditional forms and those associated with modernism, this collection focuses on love, loss, and the different ways in which people - for better or worse - can be significant to each other.

Born in the United States, Shirley Kaufman has lived for the past 20 years in Jerusalem, a city split by cultural and religious fault lines. In direct, sensitive language, Kaufman's poems occupy the shifting border between ordinary life and violence, Palestinian and Jew, young love and aging companionship. They grapple with the meaning of routine, of family, and of life among a daily existence punctured with bombs. Sometimes I need to be nowhere. A place without history. "Kaufman's poems flourish in the spaces between what is familiar and unfamiliar, between life in Israel and life in the U.S., and in those moments when the differences between Palestinians and Jews, mothers and daughters, history and the immediate moment play themselves out." -- American Book Review "Kaufman is adept at revealing the human face behind politics, carefully accumulating familiar details to make a large portrait." -- Publishers Weekly Shirley Kaufman is the author of seven books of poetry and several translations from the Hebrew. Her awards include the Shelley Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America and the Alice Fay di Castagnola Award. A native of Seattle, Kaufman now lives in Jerusalem.

"Fantasy once again, deftly and convincingly -- as only Robert Nathan can do it -- handled, with a satiric twist now and again, and a pull at the heartstrings. He has told the story of a failure whose one escape into a dream world comes through the imposed background of the ship he has built for himself in his own drab front yard. When the wife who demands results, sells it as a hot dog stand, he takes one last stand -- and Fate plays into his hands and launches the ship on the high road of adventure, southward bound. He picks up a "crew" as rudderless as himself, and they make their way against insuperable obstacles until "the law" catches up with them. But -- he has won something as a bulwark for the future. There is pathos and humor and that indefinable tug at the love of makebelieve that gave One more spring its impetus. It lacks the immediate application to current problems -- but it has the same adult fairy tale quality."--Kirkus.

âeoeOn the Way to Willowdale: Being Other Songs From a Georgia Garden, With Sonnet Interludesâe is a collection of poems by Robert Loveman, showcasing his lyrical style and deep appreciation for nature. Loveman, often compared to Robert Browning, infuses his work with vivid imagery and emotional depth. This collection presents a diverse range of subjects, from the delicate beauty of 'Morning Glories' and 'Sally Dahlia' to the dramatic intensity of a comet and tempest. Loveman's romantic sensibilities shine through in poems addressing themes of love and loss, such as 'slain my love, ' 'Mary Marigold, ' and 'Juliet.' The included sonnet interludes offer moments of introspective beauty, capturing fleeting moments of 'rapture' and 'ecstasy.' With its evocative language and timeless themes, "On the Way to Willowdale" remains a testament to Loveman's contribution to American poetry, inviting readers to revel in the 'SKIES AND BUTTERFLIES' and the 'toy of joy' found within the Georgia landscape.

Things aren't looking so good for Cyril Paxton. Hoping to earn enough money to finally marry his true love, Daisy Strong, Cyril invests his savings in the stock market, and loses it all. Ruined and on the brink of emigrating to flee his creditors, he reads with amusement a newspaper story telling of the brazen robbery of the Duchess of Datchet's diamonds, worth half a million pounds. But who can imagine his surprise when he returns home and finds, thanks to a luggage mix-up on the train, that he is in possession of the jewels! Cyril is at first elated at his change of fortune, but he may not be so lucky as it seems. Inspector John Ireland of Scotland Yard is hot on his trail, suspecting him of being the thief. And worse yet, the real thieves are after him as well. And when Paxton falls into their clutches, he'll face a difficult choice: give up the jewels, or risk brutal torture and certain death! Richard Marsh was a versatile writer of ghost stories, horror novels, and romances, as well as thrilling mysteries like The Datchet Diamonds (1898). First appearing in the wake of the popularity of the Sherlock Holmes stories, The Datchet Diamonds is one of the earliest modern detective novels. This edition reprints the unabridged text of the rare first edition and reproduces the original cover illustration from an early Victorian edition of the novel.

Selected writings from one of the most important commentators of our generation covering the wreckage of Labour's 10 year love affair with the Right BY THE SUMMER of 2007, Britain was close to crashing. A few onlookers realised the danger, but Britain's political leaders were not among them. Politicians and civil servants boasted that the City's economy was booming because of their 'light-touch regulation' of workers in financial services whose number included potential frauds. Curiously, they never argued that the inner-city economy might boom if there was 'light touch regulation' of workers in the ghettos whose number included potential drug dealers. And artists produced works to match the times. On the same day that Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, the genial Damien Hirst auctioned at Sotheby's pieces he admitted had been mass produced in his studios and buyers still gave him £100 million. Even the critics did not pretend to be interested in what message, if any, Hirst had for his audience, but reported the sale like business reporters covering a soaring stock. For 10 years New Labour stood cross-eyed in admiration as London was turned into the centre of the financial universe. From the sand bags Nick Cohen has watched as they turned their back on the working class, once the object of Utopian hopes on the Left and unreasonable fears on the Right, and lovingly embraced the upper class, once the object of surly contempt on the Left. In Waiting for the Etonians are gathered his selected writings that cover the span of Labour's love affair with the Right and the moral hazard that it has culminated in. It is a romance which has not only broken its traditional bond with the working classes and undermined the very values on which the party was founded, but has now left it with little more to do than warm the seat for the next Conservative Prime Minister.
