The son of Jewish immigrants, war correspondent Cecil Brown (1907-1987) was a member of CBS' esteemed Murrow Boys. Expelled from Italy and Singapore for reporting the facts, he witnessed the Nazi invasion of Yugoslavia and the war in North Africa, and survived the sinking of the British battleship HMS Repulse by a Japanese submarine. Back in the U.S., he became an influential commentator during the years when Americans sought a dispassionate voice to make sense of complex developments. He was one of the first journalists to champion civil rights, to condemn Senator McCarthy's tactics (and President Eisenhower's reticence), and to support Israel's creation. Although he won every major broadcast journalism award, his accomplishments have been largely overlooked by historians. This first biography of Brown chronicles his career in journalism and traces his contributions to the profession.
A curious gem of 19th-century gothic fiction Cecil Dreeme is one of the queerest American novels of the 19th century. This edition, which includes a new introduction contextualizing the sexual history of the period and queer longings of the book, brings a rare, almost forgotten, sensational gothic novel set in New York's West Village back to light. Published posthumously in 1861, the novel centers on Robert Byng, a young man who moves back to New York after traveling abroad and finds himself unmarried and underemployed, adrift in the heathenish dens of lower Manhattan. When he takes up rooms in "Chrysalis College"—a thinly veiled version of the 19th-century New York University building in Washington Square—he quickly finds himself infatuated with a young painter lodging there, named Cecil Dreeme. As their friendship grows and the novel unfolds against the backdrop of the bohemian West Village, Robert confesses that he "loves Cecil with a love passing the love of women." Yet, there are dark forces at work in the form of the sinister and magnetic Densdeth, a charismatic figure of bad intention, who seeks to ensnare Robert for his own. Full of romantic entanglements, mistaken identity, blackmail, and the dramas of temptation and submission, Cecil Dreeme is a gothic novel at its finest. Poetically written—with flashes of Walt Whitman, Charles Dickens, and Oscar Wilde—Cecil Dreeme is an early example of that rare bird, a queer novel from the 19th century.

Cecil Rhodes: A Study of a Career is a biography written by Howard Hensman that delves into the life and legacy of one of the most controversial figures in British colonial history. Rhodes was a businessman, politician, and imperialist who played a pivotal role in the expansion of the British Empire in southern Africa during the late 19th century. Hensman's book provides a detailed account of Rhodes' upbringing, education, and early career, as well as his later achievements and controversies. The author explores Rhodes' complex personality, his relationships with key figures such as Alfred Beit and Leander Starr Jameson, and his vision for a united and powerful British South Africa. Hensman also examines Rhodes' legacy, including his involvement in the forced removal of indigenous peoples from their land, his support for the British concentration camps during the Boer War, and his role in the creation of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The book offers a nuanced and critical perspective on Rhodes' life and career, and raises important questions about the impact of colonialism and imperialism on southern Africa and the wider world. Overall, Cecil Rhodes: A Study of a Career is a comprehensive and thought-provoking biography that sheds light on one of the most influential and controversial figures in British history.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1901 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
