Maxwell, James I Never Saw an Arab Like Him
Boston Houghton Mifflin Company 1948 First Edition Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good+ dj Illustrated by (dj) George Kelley
[mild shelfwear, light bumping to bottom corners, faint soiling to bottom edge, spine slightly turned, faint tape marks on endpapers; jacket has itsy-bitsy tears at several corners, a couple of small internal tape repairs, generally clean and attractive]. "While most of the closely interwoven episodes in [this book] took place during the war, they are really chapters of the present and of the next decades. In 1945 Tripoli, their setting, was removed in space from the war, as today is removed in time. It was an excellent radar statino to the world of the future, and Mark Dickson's eyes and ears were sensitive antennae." The stories and incidents related in this book "are the clues to the complexity of the Near East, to the very heart of the Jewish-Arab conflict for which Tripoli remains a major battleground. [The author], following the clues through Mark Dickson, combines keen political perception with real artistry." The author's first book; he had been a U.S. counter-intelligence officer in the region during the war. About half of these stories had previously appeared in The New Yorker.
