New Releases by James Ramsey ULLMAN

At the end of World War I the British government found itself deeply mired in a Russian civil war aimed at destroying the infant Bolshevik regime. A year later this effort was in shambles despite massive assistance from abroad. Anti-Bolshevik forces were in retreat and soon were completely annihilated. During 1919 the British government concluded that the costs of bringing down Bolshevism in Russia were prohibitively high. This book is an account of how this conclusion was reached, and of the conflict over Russian policy between David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill. Richard H.

In February 1920 the civil war that had ravaged Russia in the wake of the Bolshevik seizure of power was all but over, and with it the attempt of foreign governments to intervene on behlf of the anti-Communist forces. The government most deeply involved in this intervention was that of Great Britain. Yet scarcely a year later Britain was the first major power to come to terms with the new leadership in Moscow. Richard H. Ullman's account of that cautious coming to terms offers a perspective on the processes by which British foreign policy adjusted to the drastically changed circumstances of the aftermath of World War I. Another important theme is the way in which British policy, and the conceptions of peace and security that underlay it, diverged from that of Britain's closest ally, France. The book is, as well, a contribution of the growing literature on bureaucractic politics and the politics of foreign-policy making, and is a protracted essay on the statecraft and political style of David Lloyd George. It draws on many new sources, among them the interecepted and deciphered telegrams of the Soviet mission in London. Richard H. Ullman is Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University. The Anglo-Soviet Accord is the third and final volume of his Anglo-Soviet Relations, 1917-1921.

Dr. Windom har forladt sit job som modelæge i New York og sit ulykkelige ægteskab og er flyttet til en fjern afkrog af de sydøstasiatiske kolonier, hvor han har fået arbejde på et militærhospital. Det lykkes ham lige så stille at vinde de indfødtes tillid og at blive deres ven, og dette venskab sammen med den smukke natur giver ham en mening med livet, han aldrig følte i New York. Men selvom Windom har glemt omverdenen, så har omverdenen ikke glemt ham. Det finder han ud af, da hans hustru uventet tropper op, og de storpolitiske spændinger samtidig når hans afkrog af verden. Det liv, han har bygget op for sig selv, de forbedringer, han har skabt for de indfødte, trues med at blive knust.

Kort efter Anden Verdenskrig er til ende, drager en amerikansk ekspedition ind i Amazonas på jagt efter en sagnomspunden flod. Men junglen har mere at byde på af både farlige og uforklarlige oplevelser, og turen bliver langt mere begivenhedsrig, end ekspeditionen havde forestillet sig. Med sine levende beskrivelser af Amazonas‘ frodige og nådesløse natur, hårrejsende spænding og endda en kærlighedshistorie fastholder James Ramsay Ullman læserens opmærksomhed i "Det grønne helvede".

"Det hvide tårn" er en spændende roman om de umådelige naturkræfter, der viser sig i løbet af en bjergbestigning. Den fortæller om en mand, der efter mange års forløb vender tilbage til en schweizisk dal, hvorfra han betragter et enormt bjerg, der aldrig før er blevet besteget fra denne side. Han drages op ad bjerget, og undervejs møder han ikke blot naturens rå modstand, men han opdager også sider i sig selv, der kun kan få lov at komme til udtryk i bjergets ensomhed. "Det hvide tårn" var den fjerde bedst sælgende bog i USA i 1945. James Ramsay Ullman (1907-1971) var en amerikansk forfatter og bjergbestiger.

By the age of fifteen, Arthur Rimbaud was already one of the most brilliant poets of his time. And for the next four years - and four only - Rimbaud (the Claude Morel of this book) was simultaneously a writer of genius, a visionary idealist, and a deliberate wallower in gutters of depravity perhaps unmatched in all of human experience. But at the age of nineteen, he was through forever with both writing and debauchery, and at this point, he all but vanished, spending most of his remaining years as a vagabond wanderer through Europe and Africa. In the epic "The Day on Fire" (1958), a masterwork of biographical fiction, James Ramsey Ullman retraces the steps of Rimbaud's life from his rebellious youth in a dull provincial town to his teenage years as a homosexual, drunkard and drug addict in Paris, and his later years, wandering the desert in search of some elusive beauty or truth. As Ullman writes in his Foreword, "The truth, the inward core, of Rimbaud's life, is a truth for all times, as long as each of us, all of us, have our nights alone and our days on fire, our seasons in hell and our hope of heaven." "It comes close to being the best book we've ever read." - "Victoria Advocate" "A literary masterpiece ... One of the most forceful novels of our decade." - "Montreal Gazette" "A haunting tale with an obsessive fascination." - "Kirkus Reviews" "Shocking ... Ullman has succeeded in making believable a life whose terms would be considered absolutely unbelievable if we did not know that they were true." - "Chicago Tribune" "Engrossing ... a tragic life dramatically, poetically and compellingly visualized." - "Booklist""

The Citadel It stands unconquered, the last great summit of the Alps. Only one man has ever dared to approach the top, and that man died in his pursuit. He was Josef Matt, Rudi Matt's father. At sixteen, Rudi is determined to pay tribute to the man he never knew, and complete the quest that claimed his father's life. And so, taking his father's red shirt as a flag, he heads off to face the earth's most challenging peak. But before Rudi can reach the top, he must pass through the forbidden Fortress, the gaping chasm in the high reaches of teh Citadel where his father met his end. Rudi has followed Josef's footsteps as far as they will take him. Now he must search deep within himself to find the strength for the final ascent to the summit -- to plant his banner in the sky. His father died while trying to climb Switzerland's greatest mountain -- the Citadel -- and young Rudi knows he must make the assault himself.

Letter thanks Dr. Van Norman for writing and very briefly mentions Ullman''s two climbing trips to the Alps.
