New York, New York, U.S.A.: Public Affairs, 2003. Signed by the author on a Tribute to Holocaust Survivors bookplate. From the Inside Flap In the second half of the 1990s, Stuart Eizenstat had perhaps the most controversial assignment of any U.S. foreign policy official in Europe. His mission had nothing to do with Russia, the Middle East, Yugoslavia, or any of the other hotspots of the day. Rather, Eizenstat's mission was to provide justice-albeit belated and imperfect justice-for the victims of World War II, while maintaining positive diplomatic relations with the nations being asked to pay. Imperfect Justice is Stuart Eizenstat's personal account of how the Holocaust became a political and diplomatic battleground fifty years after the war's end, as the issues of dormant bank accounts, slave labor, confiscated property, looted art, and unpaid insurance policies convulsed Europe and America. His story is not one of easy successes or an idyllic view of justice. Rather, it is a revealing chronicle of high-stakes negotiations involving heads of European governments, played out on an international stage in an emotionally charged atmosphere, with a subtext of crimes against humanity and billions of dollars on the table. Eizenstat recounts the often heated negotiations with the Swiss, the Germans, the French, the Austrians, and various Jewish organizations, showing how moral and legal issues shunted aside for so long, exposed wounds that had never healed and conflicts that had never been properly resolved. Each country responded in its own way: Switzerland fought the disclosures about its past and deeply resented the outside pressure it faced; Germany accepted that it was once again called upon to account for its wartime sins, this time for those committed by private industry; Austria was torn, seeing itself as both victim and collaborator with Hitler; and France courageously accepted national responsibility for the Vichy regime. And on the other side of the table were a remarkable cast of characters: class-action lawyers, some of whom were altruistic while others were as interested in their own press clippings as in serving the needs of the survivors they represented; Jewish organizations that were at each other's throats over who best represented the victims in their quest for justice; politicians with their own agendas and ambitions, including New York's colorful senator Alfonse D'Amato, who turned the issue into his own personal crusade; and the President of the United States, Bill Clinton. After six years of effort, Eizenstat and his team secured settlements totaling $8 billion for the victims of the Nazis, Jews and non-Jews alike, from some of the most powerful firms in Europe; they returned assets to their rightful owners; and they helped the countries of Europe face their past. Eizenstat's work has also laid the groundwork for resolving future disputes arising from man's inhumanity to man, proving that it is possible to bring justice, even imperfect justice, to an unjust world. About the Author Stuart E. Eizenstat served in severa l high-level positions in the State, Treasury, and Commerce Departments from 1993 to 2001. He is cur rently the head of international trade and finance at the law firm of Covington & Burling in Washing ton, D.C. . Signed by Author. 3rd. Hard Cover. As New/As New.

It is a story of hope, of love, of joy, of tragedy, of survival, of bedrock human emotion. Broken, HealingGifted Natan Kalmonsohn, trained in Beirut as an agronomist, seems destined to help develop the agricultural promise of the renewed home of the Jewish people, Israel, ancient land in its new infancy. Suddenly, mysteriously, hes struck by a debilitating illness that defies the art of medicine. As his life ebbs away, he starts off on a slow mission to the mystics and healers of the lovely land, to Safed in the hills that shadow the Sea of Galilee to Beersheba in the Negev, where Abraham watered his flocks. Along the way Natan finds himself in reluctant possession of a gold watch that survived the inferno of Treblinka, and is charged with returning it to the son of its rightful owner, a sacred undertaking he fears he cant fulfill, and which adds to his already dire debility. Furthermore, another broken one, another survivor of the Holocaust, a man known only as Fishburger, clownishly impaired yet devoted and optimistic, attaches himself to Natan, who feels completely incapable of doing the least thing for him. He can barely look after himself. But in a role reversal, the broken Fish, as hes known, lovingly attends to Natan. It is Fishburger who eventually resurfaces to enlighten and care for Natans unknown daughter Nava. As Nava grows, aided by Fishburger, she becomes obsessed with finding out everything she can about the father who never knew of her existence; determined in no ordinary way to fill in the details, with the help of the willing and imaginative Fishburger. She abandons a hopeless marriage in New Jersey, of all places, mistakenly undertaken, she realizes too late, as an attempt to escape a mother so scarred by the Holocaust, that Nava cannot forgive her, and returns home to the sunny village on the slope of the Carmel range where she was born. She holes herself up in the tree house Fishburger built her in childhood, and doesnt come down till the story is finished. Its the story of Natans myriad encounters up and down the beautiful Holy Land with the broken survivors, the sick, the mystics; and the young, hopeful, industrious and beautiful. Natan tried his best, and failed. But did heIn his search Nava perceives holiness in a holy place. As she fleshes out her fleshless father and mingles her own story with his, she takes the first stride on her own road to wholeness, on which shes already set out in the first book of the series. Cynthia Ozick, the celebrated American novelist and perhaps greatest living belletrist and critic, had this to say of Ms. Gutman Lightners writing: Ive just read Where the Earth and the Sky Kiss in Green Mountains Review. Its beautiful and fresh -- D. H. Lawrence (Im thinking especially of Sons and Lovers) would envy it. This item ships from multiple locations.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Spanning eight decades from the beginnings of commercial radio to the current era of international consolidation and emerging digital platforms, this pioneering volume illuminates the entire course of American broadcasting by offering the first comprehensive history of a major network. Bringing together wide-ranging original articles by leading scholars and industry insiders, it offers a comprehensive view of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) that brings into focus the development of this key American institution and the ways that it has intersected with, and influenced, the central events of our times. Programs, policy, industry practices and personnel, politics, audiences, marketing, and global influence all come into play. The story the book tells is not just about broadcasting but about a nation’s attempt to construct itself as a culture–with all the underlying concerns, divisions, opportunities, and pleasures. Based on unprecedented research in the extensive NBC archives, NBC: America’s Network includes a timeline of NBC’s and broadcasting’s development, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars as well as for anyone interested the history of media in the United States.

This is his own true story, starting in the holocaust that was the P iper Alpha disaster and taking him from the North Sea to cleaning up offshore after the Kuwait War, to Bombay, the South China Sea and Vietnam. The work of the men who descend to great depths to difuse mines, check pipelines, and clear underwate r d isaster areas is described with absorbing documentary realism and a degree of gallows humour. From helping rescue a skipper trapped below deck on a sinking ship to treating a latterday victim of mustard gas, Jon May tells a story that is the s tu f f of so much fiction, but for knife-edged excitement there is nothing to beat the truth."
