"A groundbreaking new history of the Vatican-German Resistance . Writing with the craft of a novelist and the conscience of a meticulous scholar, Riebling has produced a masterly account." -- National Review. "A remarkable book . [Riebling] has written what is one of the more important books on intelligence of the year." -- Washington Times. "An amazing book that combines the rigor of history with the storytelling of a novel." -- War on the Rocks. "The Vatican's silence in the face of Nazi atrocities remains one of the great controversies of our time. History has accused wartime pontiff Pius the Twelfth of complicity in the Holocaust and dubbed him "Hitler's Pope." But a key part of the story has remained untold. Pope Pius in fact ran the world's largest church, smallest state, and oldest spy service. Saintly but secretive, he sent birthday cards to Hitler -- while secretly plotting to kill him. He skimmed from church charities to pay covert couriers, and surreptitiously tape-recorded his meetings with top Nazis. Under his leadership the Vatican spy rign actively plotted against the Third Reich. Told with heart-pounding suspense and drawing on secret transcripts and unsealed files, Church of Spies throws open the Vatican's doors to reveal some of the most astonishing events in the history of the papacy. Riebling reveals here how the world's greatest moral inistitution met the greatest moral crisis in history." -- from the rear outer cover.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition red cloth boards with a square color illustrated front cover pastedown and gold spine lettering. Includes Preliminary Page Quote by Oscar Wilde; Foreword: Doodler-In-Chief; Introduction: Presidential Doodles: A Brief History; Epilogue; Acknowledgments; Permissions and About the Authors. Profusely illustrated with photographs of the "presidential doodles". "Silly, sublime, and everything in between, the essential collection of our presidents' doodles, from George Washington to George W. Bush." - from the rear outer cover. "This book sets a new standard not just for scholarly treatment of presidential doodles, but for Doodle Studies in general. David Greenberg's introduction is, at one level, a masterpiece of pointless erudition, and, on another level, highly informative and entertaining. If you read only one book on presidential doodles this year, make it this one." - Michael Kinsley. "President Kennedy was famous for his incessant sketching, but who knew that Andrew Jackson also drew? Sure, he didn't draw that well, but that he did so at all is a bit of a revelation. And so are the rest of the presidential doodles, idle notes to self, and other scribblings collected here. The book brings White House history alive in sometimes perplexing, sometimes amusing, but always intriguing ways." - Sean Wilentz.

Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "In this magnificently reported book, Lesley Blume deftly documents the genesis of Ernest Hemingway's genius." - Gay Talese. "With impeccable research, delicious details, illuminating insight, and chiaroscuro wit, Lesley Blume has written the best book on Hemingway in Paris since A Moveable Feast." - Charles Scribner III. "This gloriously gossipy, compulsively readable account of Hemingway's early years in Paris with his first wife, Hadley, and the rest of the Lost Generation is a welcome successor to Paula McLain's novel The Paris Wife. How did Hemingway turn the wild weeks of bullfighting in Pamplona and the alcohol-addled nights in Left Bank cafes into The Sun Also Rises? That's the serious question at the heart of Blume's well-researched book." - Mark Stevens and Annalyn Swan, Pulitzer Prize-winning authors. "Blume has carved a mountain of original research into a riveting tale of Hemingway's literary, romantic, and publishing travails." - Publishers Weekly, starred review. "Everybody behaves badly.Give them the proper chance." - Jake Barnes in The Sun Also Rises, from the inner front jacket flap. "In the summer of 1925, Ernest Hemingway and a clique of raucous companions traveled to Pamplona, Spain, to the town's famous running of the bulls. Then, over the next six weeks, he channeled that trip's drunken brawls, sexual rivalry, mignight betrayals, and midday hangovers into his groundbreaking novel The Sun Also Rises. This revolutionary work redefined modern literature as much as it did his peers, who would forever after be called the Lost Generation. But the full story of Hemingway's legendary rise has remained untold until now. Lesley Blume resurrects the explosive, restless landscape of 1920s Paris and Spain and reveals how Hemingway helped create his own legend. He made himself into a death-courting, bullfighting aficionado; a hard-drinking, short-fused literary genius; and an expatriate bon vivant. Lesley Blume's vivid account reveals the inner circle of the Lost Generation as we have never seen it before, and shows how it still influences what we read and how we think about youth, sex, love, and excess." - from the inner front jacket flap.
