The bravery and the suffering of the men who fought the Second World War on and under the sea were captured in all their drama and excitement in this programs. When "Victory At Sea" first went on the air in 1952, it was greet with with an explosion of praise by the press. "Victory At Sea" continues to be telecast to growing audiences that relive the horror, despair and courage that brought victory to American and Peace to the work.

Some of the photographs in this book were selected from "Victory At Sea," written by Henry Salomon, Jr., and Richard Hanser, used by permission of the publisher, Doubleday & Company, Inc. Victory at Sea is a documentary television series about warfare in general during World War II, and naval warfare in particular, as well as the use of industry in warfare. It was originally broadcast by NBC in the United States in 1952-1953. It was condensed into a film released in 1954. Excerpts from the music soundtrack, by Richard Rodgers and Robert Russell Bennett, were re-recorded for record albums. The original TV broadcasts comprised 26 half-hour segments?Sunday afternoons at 3pm (EST) in most markets?starting on October 26, 1952 and ending on May 3, 1953. The series, which won an Emmy award in 1954 as "best public affairs program", played an important part in establishing historic "compilation" documentaries as a viable television genre. The project was conceived by Henry Salomon, who, while a U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander during World War II, was a research assistant to historian Samuel Eliot Morison. Morison was then writing the 15-volume History of United States Naval Operations in World War II. During this period, Salomon learned of the large amounts of film that the warring navies had compiled. Salomon left the Navy in 1948 and eventually discussed his idea of a documentary series with one of his Phillips Academy and Harvard classmates, Robert Sarnoff, a rising executive at NBC television and the son of David Sarnoff, the chairman of RCA (then the owner of NBC). It was Robert Sarnoff who championed Salomon's proposal, won its approval and saw it through to completion. NBC approved the project in 1951, with Salomon as producer and a budget of $500,000 (large for that era). His team, composed largely of newsreel veterans, searched naval archives around the world, and received complete cooperation from the U.S. Navy, which recognized the publicity value. Salomon's team compiled 60 million feet (18,300 km) of film, which was edited to about 61,000 feet for broadcast. After the original run, NBC syndicated it to local stations. By 1964, it had been broadcast in 40 foreign markets.

At the very heart of Christian faith is the blood of Jesus. His sin-atoning death is the divine work on which the entire structure of salvation rests and the truth on which the Christian doctrine of salvation must be built. Yet recent years have seen a pastoral neglect of the cross and a doctrinal assault from the academy. With these concerns in mind, R. C. Sproul, Philip Ryken, Joel Beeke, Derek Thomas, Carl Trueman, and Robert Godfrey have joined editor Richard Phillips in exploring the doctrine of Christ's atonement. These noted pastors proclaim the (1) necessary, (2) redeeming, (3) cleansing, (4) atoning, (5) offensive, and (6) precious blood of our Savior in a series of essays that set the cross in its rightful place-at the forefront of salvation."; 5.5 X 0.5 X 8.25 inches; 240 pages.

3/4 leather. First edition. x, 314 p. front. (port. ) plates, facsims. 25 cm. Includes: Portraits, Plates, Facsimiles. Bibliography: p. 292-293. John Paul Jones, at sea and in the heat of battle, was the great American hero of the Age of Sail. He was to history what Patrick O'Brian's Jack Aubrey and C. S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower are to fiction. Ruthless, indomitable, clever; he vowed to sail, as he put it, "in harm's way." He never flinched or turned back. Evan Thomas's minute-by-minute re-creation of the bloodbath between Jones's Bonhomme Richard and the British man-of-war Serapis off the coast of England on an autumn night in 1779 is as gripping a sea battle as can be found in any novel. Thomas draws on Jones's wide-ranging correspondence with some of the most significant figures of the American Revolution--John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson--to paint a compelling portrait of a tortured warrior who was that most interesting and essential of American figures, the entirely self-made man. The son of a Scottish gardener (or possibly the bastard son of the lord of the manor), Jones fought his way up from second mate on a slave ship to become a mythic figure, hailed as the father of the navy, buried in a crypt (modeled after Napoleon's Tomb) beneath the chapel of the U.S. Naval Academy. Along the way he was an accused murderer (forced to flee to America under an assumed name); a notorious rake in Parisian society; and an admiral in the navy of Catherine the Great, fighting against the Turks in the Black Sea. He was a singularly successful naval officer during the American Revolution because he was both bold and visionary. John Paul Jones is more than a great sea story. Jones is a character for the ages. John Adams called him the "most ambitious and intriguing officer in the American Navy." The renewed interest in the Founding Fathers reminds us of the great men who made this country, but John Paul Jones teaches us that it took fighters as well as thinkers, men driven by dreams of personal glory as well as high-minded principle to break free of the past and start a new world. Jones's spirit was classically American. Evan Thomas brings his skills as a biographer to this complex, protean figure whose life and rise are both thrilling as a tale of dauntless courage and revealing about the birth of a nation.

Rare first edition of one of the foundational texts of the British abolition movement "the first piece of published abolitionist propaganda" (Christopher Fyfe, ODNB) an early firsthand account of the specifics of the slave trade by Alexander Falconbridge, who served as surgeon on four slave trading voyages from the west coast of Africa to the Caribbean from 1780-1787.Falconbridge (c. 1760-1792) met the abolitionist Thomas Clarkson in Bristol in 1787 during the latter s fact-finding mission to gather evidence against the slave trade. Falconbridge was enlisted in the cause, traveling with Clarkson to Liverpool and London to provide expert testimony and to act as Clarkson s bodyguard (Clarkson being under continual threat as a result of his agitations). With the help of abolitionist lawyer Richard Phillips, Falconbridge corralled his testimony into the present pamphlet, An Account of the Slave Trade on the Coast of Africa. Falconbridge was radicalized into the abolitionist movement by his direct experience of the slave trade, and his eyewitness account of the mechanisms of the trade, from the kidnapping of slaves to their brutal confinement below deck during the middle passage voyage to the West Indies, carries the weight and authority of firsthand knowledge. The Account was printed by London Abolition Society (London Committee) member James Phillips, in this first edition of 55 pages and a second edition of 72 pages the same year. Its publication was part of an aggressive campaign to distribute abolitionist pamphlets, tracts and broadsides, most small enough to be read quickly and passed on. "In a little over fifteen months the Committee printed and distributed nearly 85,000 pamphlets, reports, circular letters, and subscription lists" (Oldfield, Popular Politics and British Anti-Slavery, p. 43, n. 15). This was the birth of the modern printed propaganda campaign. One of the Committee s most popular and effective publications was the broadside engraving of the slave ship Brooks, showing the human cargo stowed below deck. Portions of Falconbridge s text were used to caption the image, including his memorable description of a slave ship as a floating slaughterhouse: "The deck, that is, the floor of their rooms, was so covered with the blood and mucus which had proceeded from them in consequence of the flux [dysentery], that it resembled a slaughterhouse."In 1790 Clarkson convinced Falconbridge to go to Sierra Leone on behalf of the St George's Bay (Sierra Leone) Company to resettle the free black colony that had dispersed after its founding three years previous. After some initial success, including negotiating the founding of Freetown, Falconbridge began drinking heavily and was unable to perform his duties as commercial agent for the colony. He died shortly after being removed from his position by the colony s governor. Falconbridge s wife, Anna Maria, wrote an account of their stay in Sierra Leone, Narrative of Two Voyages (1794), "the first Englishwoman's narrative of a visit to Africa" (ODNB).Despite the high print run of Falconbridge s Account (6,000 copies according to Christopher Fyfe) and other early abolitionist tracts published by the London Committee (e.g., Clarkson s Summary View of the Slave Trade (1788), James Ramsay s Objections to the Abolition of the Slave Trade, with Answers (1788)), very few survived and all are exceedingly rare in commerce. I trace only three copies of the Falconbridge sold at auction in the past 100 years.REFERENCE: ESTC T6198; Howes F-13; Sabin 23721.
