Crankshaw, Edward The Habsburgs : Portrait of a Dynasty.
Studio 1970. Hardcover in DJ. Good/Good, some wear and tears. Quarto
272 pp "The story of the Habsburgs is no less than the story of Austria and the formation of all Europe as we know it. For nearly 650 years this extraordinary family contrived to back their considerable territory with the quasi-mystical authority of the Imperial crown; at times they came close to dominating half the world. There was a brooding quality about many of the Habsburgs which distinguished them as monarchs and enhanced the image of their power, an image compounded largely of Catholic bigotry and Imperial reaction. The absence of great outward show not only made the power embodied in a single ruler seem all the more terrible."

Erickson Carolly To the Scaffold : The Life of Marie Antoinette.
William Morrow 1991. Hardcover in DJ. Good/Good Octavo
384 pp "One of history's most misunderstood figures, Marie Antoinette continues to symbolize the glamour, the extravagance, and ultimately the decadence of French society before the Revolution . . . In To The Scaffold Carolly Erickson provides an estimation of a lost Queen that is psychologically acute, richly detailed, and finally deeply moving. Thoroughly researched and beautifully written, it shows Carolly Erickson's skills at their peak matched by one of the world's best known yet least understood heroines."

Fox, Robert Camera in Conflict. The Hulton Getty Picture Collection. Armed Conflict, Bewaffnete Konflikte, Conflits Armes.
Koneman 1996 Hardcover in DJ. Good Good Quarto
420 pp German, French and English. Vol 2 of Camera in Conflict. Stand-alone volume. " Camera In Conflict is the story of photography in war from the Crimea and the American Civil War to Chechenya and Bosnia today. Here is the work of action photographers at the peak of their art, producing images that were to be etched for ever on the collective memory - the victims of the Warsaw ghetto surrendering to the SS, the hundreds of sailors abandoning ship as the carrier USS Lexington goes down in the battle for the Coral Sea, the bewildered and bereaved in Sarajevo and Rwanda. In a series of arresting essays, Robert Fox describes the changing aspect of war across the world in the era of action photography, and outlines what we might expect in conflicts to come."
