"Barnie Tiller's Appalachian leadership included a tiny enclave in the 'Bottoms' of Cincinnati - constantly in danger of being engulfed by racial warfare. In this story Cincinnati has become a city of terror. The police search desperately for the killer of six victims, knowing chiefly that the assailant is black. The pressure to convict is enormous. The black community considers it pressure for a scapegoat. Then there emerges Matthew Sparks, a mercurial, unschooled man who is the cousin of the man charged with the murders. Sparks becomes a figure to contend with, his arrest for loitering as he protest the treatment and arrest of his cousin touches off the Cincinnati riots. The explosive climax of the book comes when, in the midst of the riot, Barnie the messenger of the city and Matthew the fugitive meet. An exciting and immensely readable novel with deep philosophical overtones, it explores the lot of a gentle man in a violent society and the dilemma of peace vs. justice in a country groping toward racial harmony."

Reston, James, Jr. To Defend To Destroy
New York, New York, U.S.A. W.W. Norton & Company, Inc. 1971 0-393-08621-6 / 9780393086218 Hard Cover Very Good Very Good Edward Diehl, Jacket Design
Black cloth on boards. 223 pp. Volume has slight edgewear. Jacket shows minor wear, rubbing, the bottom front corner is clipped, price intact. Now in clear cover. "This compelling first novel tells the story of Jonathan Bartlett, a young, idealistic lieutenant in Army Intelligence, who is thrust into the brutal world of international espionage. Operation Jonah involves the attempted landing of a non-Communist Chinese on the mainland coast. Bartlett persuades Chuang, a sensitive and philosophical youth, to undertake the hazardous mission. In return, Chuang is to receive help in rescuing his father. Operation Jonah forces Bartlett into deep confusion about his involvement in the Army, about his duty to his country, and about the courage of his beliefs - all made harsh and yet poignant by the girl he loves. Maria has become a political revolutionary when they meet again in Tokyo. The lovers clash over what Maria sees as the imperatives of her time. Bartlett's search for a way to blend his political beliefs, his love for Maria, his guilt over Chuang into coherent action leads eventually to a form of destruction."
