Review Memoirs of a Professional Cad / Scarecrow Pr:The lingering image of George Sanders, kept alive by his appearances in dozens of famous films, is that of the cultured cad. Sanders won an Oscar for his performance as the acerbic, haughty drama critic in "All About Eve" and gave good accounts of himself as a cad in "Rebecca" and "The Moon and Sixpence", but mostly he ambled through more than a hundred films with a strangely appealing insouciance that fascinated even those with whom he worked. Perhaps it was the way he spoke-like a well-tuned cello voicing aphorisms. He was a witty man, and his autobiography, "The Memoirs of a Professional Cad", published in 1960, is one of the most amusing and literate books ever written by an actor. Veteran broadcaster and film historian Tony Thomas has filled in the rest of the George Sanders story by supplying an introduction, a lengthy epilogue, and a filmography of Sanders's 110 films.

Review Austria Before & After the Anschluss / Dorrance Pub Co:In March of 1938, Adolf Hitler and his army marched into Austria to the delirious jubilation of Austria's masses, who greeted the Fuehrer as their liberator and hero. Dr. David Lehr's 'Austria Before & After the Anschluss' is his vivid, personal account of "those awesome and bone-chilling memories of the terror-laden days following the Anschluss," which most Austrians accepted with shocking enthusiasm. Dr. Lehr presents an excruciating picture of life during this turbulent period, the horrific cost of racial prejudice, and a final tribute to those Jewish victims and displaced survivors who suffered so much at the hands of their own countrymen. His personal and historical expose has indeed fulfilled his heartfelt sense of responsibility to lay bare the tragic truth of the Auistrian Holocaust.

Review FDR / Random House:One of today’s premier biographers has written a modern, comprehensive, indeed ultimate book on the epic life of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In this superlative volume, Jean Edward Smith combines contemporary scholarship and a broad range of primary source material to provide an engrossing narrative of one of America’s greatest presidents. This is a portrait painted in broad strokes and fine details. We see how Roosevelt’s restless energy, fierce intellect, personal magnetism, and ability to project effortless grace permitted him to master countless challenges throughout his life. Smith recounts FDR’s battles with polio and physical disability, and how these experiences helped forge the resolve that FDR used to surmount the economic turmoil of the Great Depression and the wartime threat of totalitarianism. Here also is FDR’s private life depicted with unprecedented candor and nuance, with close attention paid to the four women who molded his personality and helped to inform his worldview: His mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt, formidable yet ever supportive and tender; his wife, Eleanor, whose counsel and affection were instrumental to FDR’s public and individual achievements; Lucy Mercer, the great romantic love of FDR’s life; and Missy LeHand, FDR’s longtime secretary, companion, and confidante, whose adoration of her boss was practically limitless. Smith also tackles head-on and in-depth the numerous failures and miscues of Roosevelt’s public career, including his disastrous attempt to reconstruct the Judiciary; the shameful internment of Japanese-Americans; and Roosevelt’s occasionally self-defeating Executive overreach. Additionally, Smith offers a sensitive and balanced assessment of Roosevelt’s response to the Holocaust, noting its breakthroughs and shortcomings. Summing up Roosevelt’s legacy, Jean Smith declares that FDR, more than any other individual, changed the relationship between the American people and their government. It was Roosevelt who revolutionized the art of campaigning and used the burgeoning mass media to garner public support and allay fears. [+]But more important, Smith gives us the clearest picture yet of how this quintessential Knickerbocker aristocrat, a man who never had to depend on a paycheck, became the common man’s president. The result is a powerful account that adds fresh perspectives and draws profound conclusions about a man whose story is widely known but far less well understood. Written for the general reader and scholars alike, FDR is a stunning biography in every way worthy of its subject.
