Description:
London: Weidenfelf & Nicolson , 1992. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. London: Weidenfelf & Nicolson , 1992. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. Hardback. 1st edition. Very Good/Very Good. Translated from the Russian by David Gurevich, this is the first full biography of Boris Yeltsin, and a rare glimpse inside the Soviet power structure, by two acclaimed ex-Soviet journalists. Few political leaders have so electrified the world in recent years as Yeltsin: the first Kremlin dissident and the first democratically elected leader in Russia's thousand-year history. Even before the abortive coup of August 1991, he was constantly in the news for his history-making moves, his battles with Gorbachev and his flamboyant personal life. In part political thriller, in part cutting-edge analysis, this is the book that must be read to understand what Yeltsin and the Russian Commonwealth have in store for us. Size, 24 x 16cm, 320 pages, 8 pages of b&w photos. Ex-library, front endpaper removed, some library…

Description:
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1971. First American edition. Hardcover. Very Good/fair. Received with praise when first published, this provides an insightfull new portrait of an historical figure that everyone 'thinks' they know well. The common perception of Henry VIII is of a cruel, power-obsessed womaniser - he was that, plus much more. The author shows him to be very much a monarch of his times, confronting the political and social pressures that surrounded him, sometimes with good grace, sometimes with stubborn reluctance, then at other times, proving a bold and radical thinker unafraid to go against the grain of perceived wisdom. What we see is a complicated personality, and not an altogether unlikeable one as he is often portrayed in fiction. A fascinating read for history buffs or anyone wanting a deeper insight into the Tudor dynasty. Contains 335-pages, 23 x 16cm, with 16-pages of b&w illustrations. Red cloth decorated boards in Fair, price-clipped, illustrated dust-jacket. Internally,…
