New York, NY, U.S.A.: Pantheon Books, 1989. First American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. NEST OF SPIES charts the route that, over some four decades, has taken the United States to Irangate (the debacle of American foreign policy in which President Reagan's aides attempted to trade American arms for American hostages held in Lebanon) and beyond. In this clear and well-documented book, Iranian journalist Amir Taheri shows why Roosevelt and Truman failed to turn Iran into a model democracy, how the seeds of the Islamic revolution were, unwittingly, sown by the Shah's policies (largely with Washington's support), and how the Irangate episode and its consequences fit in the pattern of U.S.--Middle East relations. NEST OF SPIES treats many aspects of Irangate not revealed in American investigations and provides the first full account of many other U.S. covert operations in Iran between 1979 and 1987. Taheri has also analyzed the… Read More

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Mysterious Press, 1996. First U.S. Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by author on title page.Translated by Laura Dail. The last Hector Belascoaran Shayne mystery from Paco Ignacio Taibo II ended with the one-eyed detective lying in the oily rain of Mexico City, his body perforated with bullets. Now the author of this hugely popular, highly political, endlessly inventive series of novels proves that no miracle is beyond his reach. Hector Belascoaran Shayne rises from the dead. He's a gun-carrying argonaut of Mexico City, city of strikes and pollution, "cemetery of dreams." He doesn't want to be alive, but he is, and when a woman tells him a sob story about her sister's death at the hands of a handsome rumba dancer in white patent leather shoes named Luke Estrella, Hector agrees to do something about him. In a Mexico City hotel the detective meets a battered, alcoholic gringo… Read More

New York, New York, U.S.A. : Thomas Dunne Books, 2003. First U.S. Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Translated from the Spanish by Ezra E. Fitz. In 1991, Paco Taibo II wrote TTHE SHADOW OF A SHADOW, a book about four men who meet to play dominos in a hotel bar in Mexico City. The time is 1922, and the men are a motley group - a poet who makes a living writing advertisements for patent medicine, a radical Chinese-Mexican union organizer, a lawyer who represents prostitutes, and a newspaper crime reporter who churns out pages of copy "like links of sausage in a chorizo factory." As the story builds, the crime novel becomes a tale of international intrigue. RETURNING AS SHADOWS revisits these men nearly twenty years later. Much has changed, in the world and for the four friends. War rages in Europe while the world waits for the inevitable entry of the United States. German agents throng Mexico City, working to bring America's… Read More

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Brookings Institution Press, 2004. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. On May 11, 1998, three nuclear devices detonated under the Thar Desert in India shook the surrounding villages-and the rest of the world. The immediate effect was to plunge U.S.-India relations, already vexed by decades of tension and estrangement, into a new crisis. The situation deteriorated further when Pakistan responded in kind two weeks later, testing a nuclear weapon for the first time. Engaging India is the firsthand story of the diplomacy conducted between the United States and the two South Asian neighbors after the nuclear tests. In this book, the American point man for the dialogue takes us behind the scenes of one of the most suspenseful and consequential diplomatic dramas of our time, reconstructing what happened-and why-with narrative verve, rich human detail, and penetrating analysis. From June 1998 to September 2000, in what… Read More

In WHERE THE PAST BEGINS, bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and The Valley of Amazement Amy Tan is at her most intimate in revealing the truths and inspirations that underlie her extraordinary fiction.
