Octavo, red & black cloth (hardcover), silver lettering, xii, 498 pp. Near Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket (slight sunning to edges). From dust jacket: Half the world's population lives under political systems that claim their inspiration from Karl Marx. For someone so influential, it is surprising that so little has been known of his private life and that his ideas were so misunderstood that they could plausibly be reduced to a caricature both by his opponents and his defenders. Yet it is a fact that there has been no full-length biography of any authority since that of Frans Mehring, published in 1920; and too many accounts have suffered from patent political bias. Since Mehring's time the publication of two major sources -- the unexpurgated Marx-Engels correspondence and many of Marx's hitherto unpublished writings -- have made a reevaluation necessary. The wealth of information contained in these letters and manuscripts alters very considerably the traditional portrait of Marx. David McLellan's balanced and comprehensive biography presents for the first time a full picture of Marx-- in his private life, as a political activist, and as a thinker. The full range of sources (many of them difficult to access) is drawn upon and the reader can follow the fascinating story of Marx's marriage and family life amid extraordinary privations, his activities in the Communist League and the First International, and the full extent and subtlety of his thought as it developed. The result is that at last the general public has access to a wealth of detail that will enable a judgment on possibly the most influential thinker of our age.

Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, x, 594 pp. Near Fine, in a like dust jacket. From dust jacket: Hitler often called Stalin a :fellow of genius," for whom he had "unreserved respect"; he recognized in Stalin a worthy opponent with his own inflexible will. Professor John Erickson has written the comprehensive account of their conflict. In this first of two volumes on Stalin's war with Germany, he surveys the battleground of the Eastern front where Hitler went astray at the peak of his power. Focusing on Soviet command decisions, he follows the movements of the Red Army from the edge of destruction to triumph at Stalingrad, where it "caught a tiger by the tail.' He discusses the preparedness of the two armies, examining the effects of Stalin's purge of the Staff Officers in the old Soviet military establishment. He describes the war games of the pre-Barbarossa period, those "shadowy and symbolic conflicts" which augured catastrophes to come. Battle by battle and decision by decision he describes how the ponderous military machine, hounded by disaster, came finally to grips with halting the Blitzkrieg. This volume culminates in Stalin's strategic offensive which turned the tide at Stalingrad. He considers these complex military situations with authoritative accuracy, and at the same time conveys the relevance of massive detail on troop movements and staff decisions. Professor Erickson brings together economic, political, strategic and intelligence material in the most complete account of this mammoth subject ever published His research includes documents from both Russian and German sources previously unpublished and unobtainable. He combines scholarship with fascinating readability in this definitive study of the duel between Hitler and Stalin.
