Allen & Unwin, Australia, 2020. Softcover. Near Fine. AUSTRALIANADozens of Russian anarchists, socialists and communists arrived in Australia from 1905, fleeing repression in their homeland. Finding work in the Queensland cane fields, Russian activists recruited in working men's groups for their revolutionary cause, laying the foundations for infiltration by Soviet intelligence services of the unions and Communist Party of Australia decades later. This is just one of the many fascinating stories former intelligence officer John Fahey has uncovered in the archives of Australia, MI5 and the CIA. He shows that Australia was under sustained attack from external threats as early as 1908, threats the country consistently failed to address effectively. He identifies the first German spy in Australia, as well as a highly respected Jewish businessman in Melbourne who was a Soviet agent, and an Australian woman who worked for Soviet military intelligence in the US. Internal security work is dirty work, never… Read More

Hudson Hills Press, 1982. Hardcover in Dustjacket. Fine. ART (General) When Pablo Picasso first learned of the Betograve Process for pouring and engraving concrete, he ""jumped out of his chair as if he had sat on a pin. He wax so excited .... [His] lightning eye and intuitive intelligence instantly recognized the creative uses that he might be able to make of this new technique."" Indeed, Picasso's collaboration with Norwegian artist Carl Nesjar during the next fifteen years led to a series of exuberant public sculptures in Spain, France, Sweden, Norway, Holland, Israel, and the United States (New York, Princeton, Cambridge, and Rolling Meadows, near Chicago). Picasso's Concrete Sculptures is a comprehensive history of that collaboration, from the preparation and selection of marquettes, theough all the stages of approval, to actual construction and engraving. Author Sally Fairweather is a prominent Chicago art dealer who was instrumental in the realization there of the monumental Picasso concrete… Read More

Last Gasp, 2002. Hardcover in Dustjacket. Near Fine. TINTIN Georges Remi, alias Herge, shared a blessing and a curse with Conan Doyle, the author of the Sherlock Holmes stories. He created a popular fictional character and spent most of his adult life filling the demand for additional stories. As Michael Farr makes clear in ""Tintin: The Complete Companion"", Herge lavished great creativity and attention to detail on the stories of Tintin, his adventurous young reporter, but the workload threatened at times to crush him. Tintin fans are the beneficiaries of his dedication.""Tintin: The Complete Companion"" opens with a short introduction on Herge before recounting the creation of each of the 24 cartoon adventures, beginning with the rather primitive ""Tintin in the Land of the Soviets in 1929 and ending with ""Tintin and Alph-Art"", left incomplete at Herge's death in 1983. Farr identifies the background of each story, especially the meticulous research into person and place that produced such… Read More

Pen & Sword Maritime, 2016. Hardcover in Dustjacket. New. The battleships of the worlds navies in the 1820s were descended directly in line from the Revenge of 1577: they were wooden-built, sail-powered and mounted guns on the broadside, firing solid shot. In the next half century, steel, steam and shells had wrought a transformation and by 1906, Dreadnought had ushered in a revolution in naval architecture. The naval race between Britain and Germany that followed, led to the clash of the navies at Jutland in 1916. Though this was indecisive, the German navy never again challenged the Grand Fleet of Britain during the war, and eventually the crews refused to put to sea again. Disarmament on a massive scale followed, but the battleship was still regarded as the arbiter of sea-power in the years between the wars. However, the advocates of air power were looking to the future, and when in 1940 biplane Swordfish torpedo bombers of the Fleet Air Arm sank three Italian battleships at their moorings in… Read More
