"Ariel, David's city, Zion, Mountain of God—Jerusalem. Why such exalted titles for one small dusty hilltop town? Because religious people herald Jerusalem as earth's link to heaven. For centuries millions of Jews, Christians, and Muslims from every corner of the globe gathered in Jerusalem in the expectation of hearing the Word of God. They still do. This is a book about those ancient religious traditions which has made Jerusalem's name sacred and immortal." So begins Thomas Idinopulos's majestic history of the holiest city. Prophets, priests, and pilgrims, kings and conquerors—they fill the pages of a narrative as rich, intricate, and spectacular as a religious tapestry. Mr. Idinopulos's story is one of suffering and distrust, of piety and blood, belief and battle–in short, the stake of the three great religions in this earthly kingdom over the centuries and to the perils of the present day. He explores the glory and the depths of a city besieged, defended, conquered, damaged or destroyed, and rebuilt forty times in thirty centuries, always in the name of God. Jerusalem in spite of her history continues to comfort the believers. Jerusalem Blessed, Jerusalem Cursed is history in the grand manner, a unique and engrossing saga. Illustrated with six maps and twenty-two photographs and drawings.

A brilliant reinterpretation of the negotiations between Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin that divided Europe and laid the foundations for the cold war. Gardner argues that the quest for territorial agreements began at Munich and culminated at Yalta, and that FDR ultimately settled for them to maintain Allied unity in forging the peace. A tour de force by one of Americas most distinguished diplomatic historians....This is excellent history.Stephen E. Ambrose, Foreign Affairs.

GARDNER, LLOYD C.

In a powerful indictment of the battle over abortion rights, Donald Judges charges that the conflict has polarized society, dehumanized its participants, distorted Constitutional law, warped the courts, and created an unfair and arbitrary allocation of rights. His clearly written, thorough investigation of the controversy begins by tracing the sociological, medical, historical, and legal backgrounds of abortion, with equal attention to the arguments of pro- and anti- forces. He then considers the Supreme Court's response to the constitutional elements of the abortion question, beginning in the Court's early years, moving to the crucial Roe v. Wade decision, and examining later cases up to the present. The Court's decisions, Mr. Judges concludes, serve neither side well and help further to roil our society. His balanced perspective on the major issues in the abortion debate, his fair-minded treatment of the opposing positions, and his suggestions for a new path toward resolution make this the outstanding book on the subject—for the committed, the concerned, and the undecided.
