    Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Near Fine dj. First Edition. [nice tight clean copy, with no discernible wear; jacket shows only the faintest handling wear]. Leavitt's novel of a homosexual love affair, set against the rise of fascism in Europe in the 1930s, and in particular the Spanish Civil War. The author borrowed a bit too liberally from poet Stephen Spender's 1951 memoir "World Within World"; Spender filed a plagiarism suit in England, which ultimately led to the preparation of issuance of a revised version. It's often stated that the original version was "suppressed," which is a considerable exaggeration. In fact, Viking recalled the book from stores only in England (pending the outcome of the lawsuit) -- but by the time the whole brouhaha (which included duelling essays by Leavitt and Spender in The New York Times Book Review) had worked itself out, as the Times reported, about 30,000 copies had already been sold in the U.S., and according to a Viking spokesman there "was no possibility of recalling books or demanding that stores return unsold copies." The settlement (also according to the Times) involved the removal of about three pages worth of material, hardly the "significant revisions" claimed by some. (And besides, if the book had truly been "suppressed," why would there be so darn many copies still for sale?). Illustrated by (dj design) Michael Ian Kaye (illustratore).

    Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition black boards, dark brown spine with silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket (photo on rear outer jacket). Includes List of Other Books by Seymour M. Hersh; Author Dedication; Author's Note; Epilogue; Chapter Notes; Acknowledgments and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "Jack Kennedy had it all. And he used it all -- his father's fortune, and his own beauty, wit, and power -- with a heedless, reckless daring. There was no tomorrow, and there was no secret that money and charm could not hide. In this groundbreaking book, award-winning investigative journalist Seymour M. Hersh shows us a John F. Kennedy we have never seen before, a man insulated from the normal consequences of behavior long before he entered the White House. His father, Joe, set the pattern with an arrogance and cunning that have never been fully appreciated. Kennedys could do exactly what they wanted, and could evade any charge brought against them. Kennedys wrote their own moral code. And Kennedys trusted only Kennedys. Jack appointed his brother Bobby keeper of the secrets -- the family debt to organized crime, the real state of Jack's health, the sources of his election victories, the plots to murder foreign leaders, and the president's intentions in Vietnam. As Jack's closest confidant and chief enforcer, Bobby attacked any potential family enemy with a savagery he was supposed to reserve for the criminals he was sworn to prosecute -- the very criminals their father had enlisted. The brothers prided themselves on another trait inherited from their father -- a voracious appetite for women -- and indulged it with a daily abandon deeply disturbing to the Secret Service agents who witnessed it. These men speak for the first time about their amazement at what they saw and the powerlessness they felt to protect the leader of their country. By the end of his life, Jack Kennedy's private recklessness was beginning to edge into his public life, putting him -- and his nation -- at risk. Now Seymour Hersh tells us the real story of those risks, in the hands of a crisis-driven president who maintained a facade of cool toughness while negotiating private compromises unknown to even his closest advisers." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Kaye, Michael Ian (jacket design); Becker, Jonathan (author photograph) (illustratore).

    Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition red boards, black spine and red spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Joe McGinniss; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Eduardo Galeano; Castel Di Sangro Players; Prologue; For the Record and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates and preliminary page map. "A taste of The Miracle of Castel di Sangro. Italy is composed of twenty regions. Some are legendary, others extremely popular with foreign tourists, and still more, though not as well know to outsiders, prized by the Italians themselves. And then there is the Abruzzo. Frommer's 1996 guide to Italy describes it as "one of the poorest and least visited regions" in the country. "Arid and sunscorched.prone to frequent earthquakes, the Abruzzo is.impoverished and visually stark." It is a region, says another guidebook, "in which there is little of interest to see and even less to do." This reputation was not acquired overnight. Nathaniel Hawthorne visited in the nineteenth century and wrote even then that the region was "without enough of life and juiciness to be any longer susceptible of decay. An earthquake would afford it the only chance of ruin, beyond its present ruin." And that was in season." - from the rear outer jacket. "In the summer of 1996, Joe McGinniss, the author of such non-fiction bestsellers as The Selling of the President, Fatal Vision, Blind Faith, and The Last Brother, set out for the remote Italian village of Castel di Sangro, located deep within the forbidding and isolated region of the Abruzzo. His goal was to spend a season with the village soccer team, which only weeks before had accomplished the feat - hailed throughout Italy as a "miracle" - of winning promotion to the second-highest professional league in the land. Though Castel di Sangro had only five thousand inhabitants, its team would now compete against those from such cities as Genoa, Turin, Padua, and Venice in a fight to keep its miracle alive. Almost immediately Joe McGinniss was embrioled in a small-town drama that had less to do with a game played by men kicking a ball than with hope, fear, love, loss, and almost unbearable suspense. He found himself, like everyone in the town, bursting with affection and anxiety for this quixotic and boisterous band of young Italian athletes. Through victories. losses, scandals, deaths, and hard lessons in the Italian way of sport, he found a story whose depth and power stunned him. This book is his account of that year, a masterpiece of storytelling that transcends its particulars to embrace universal emotions. Written with passion, tenderness, and humor - plus an appreciation for the absurd - The Miracle of Castel di Sangro is an unforgettable portrait of Italy's people, its towns and cities, and its complicated, irrepressible spirit." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
