Book Synopsis Challenges; Reflections of a Lawyer-at-large by : James Britt Donovan
Download or read book Challenges; Reflections of a Lawyer-at-large written by James Britt Donovan and published by New York : Atheneum. This book was released on 1967 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Anyone who thinks of the practice of law as a musty succession of writs and torts, punctuated by dreary hours in court, will do well to come face to face with the prismatic career of James B. Donovan. A skilled advocate, he has effectively channeled his talents into many byways of contemporary life. After war duty as a line officer in the Navy and general counsel for the OSS, he served as associate prosecutor at the principal Nuremberg trial. In 1957 he represented Rudolf Ivanovich Abel, charged with espionage against the United States, and later negotiated Abel's release in exchange for Francis Gary Powers and Frederic L. Pryor. This entire story was told by Donovan in his noted book Strangers on a Bridge. After the Bay of Pigs fiasco, he obtained the release of 9700 Cuban and American prisoners. Of his many civic achievements, his influence as President of the New York City School Board has been felt most keenly around the nation. This collection of Donovan's speeches, with introductory notes, provides dramatic sidelights on these assignments, along with other fascinating subjects, such as the privilege of defending unpopular persons and causes, the need for active economic development of Latin America rather than passive fear of communism, the problems of integrating our public schools, the strengthening of our intelligence system (including an impassioned defense of C.I.A. activities), and legal aspects of scientific experiments, including the use of human guinea pigs"--Unedited summary from book jacket.

Book excerpt: James B. Donovan (1916-70) was an intrepid lawyer and a skillful negotiator. In his defence of unpopular causes he has been likened to Thomas Erskine, who represented Thomas Paine during the French Revolution and Harold Medina, who defended an accused accomplice of Nazi saboteurs during World War II. His courage was apparent in facing down demonstrators, hecklers, racists, and pickets, and in dealing with calculating Russian agents, hostile Cuban officers, and angry students, writes Phil Bigger, in this exciting tale of Donovan's life.

Download or read book Michael Beschloss on the Cold War written by Michael Beschloss and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 1255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riveting accounts of the Cold War power struggles from the New York Times–bestselling author and “nation’s leading presidential historian” (Newsweek). The Crisis Years: A national bestseller on the complex relationship between President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, this “definitive” history covers the tumultuous period from 1960 through 1963 when the Berlin Wall was built, and the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis brought the United States and Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war (David Remnick, The New Yorker). “Impressively researched and engrossingly narrated.” —Los Angeles Times Mayday: On May Day 1960, Soviet forces downed a CIA U-2 spy plane flown by Francis Gary Powers, two weeks before a crucial summit. This forced President Dwight Eisenhower to decide whether to admit to Nikita Khrushchev—and the world—that he had secretly ordered the flight. Drawing on previously unavailable CIA documents, diaries, and letters, as well as the recollections of Eisenhower’s aides, Beschloss reveals the full high-stakes drama. “One of the best stories yet written about just how those grand men of diplomacy and intrigue conducted our business.” —Time At the Highest Levels: Cowritten with Strobe Talbott, At the Highest Levels exposes the complex negotiations between President George Bush and Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev. In December 1989, the Berlin Wall had fallen, millions across the Eastern Bloc were enjoying new freedoms, and the USSR was crumbling. But a peaceful end to the Cold War was far from assured, requiring an unlikely partnership, as the leaders of rival superpowers had to look beyond the animosities of the past and embrace an uncertain future. “Intimate and utterly absorbing.” —The New York Times

Book Synopsis Strangers on a Bridge by : James Donovan
Download or read book Strangers on a Bridge written by James Donovan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller and subject of the acclaimed major motion picture Bridge of Spies directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Tom Hanks as James B. Donovan. Originally published in 1964, this is the “enthralling…truly remarkable” (The New York Times Book Review) insider account of the Cold War spy exchange—with a new foreword by Jason Matthews, New York Times bestselling author of Red Sparrow and Palace of Treason. In the early morning of February 10, 1962, James B. Donovan began his walk toward the center of the Glienicke Bridge, the famous “Bridge of Spies” which then linked West Berlin to East. With him, walked Rudolf Ivanovich Abel, master spy and for years the chief of Soviet espionage in the United States. Approaching them from the other side, under equally heavy guard, was Francis Gary Powers, the American U-2 spy plane pilot famously shot down by the Soviets, whose exchange for Abel Donovan had negotiated. These were the strangers on a bridge, men of East and West, representatives of two opposed worlds meeting in a moment of high drama. Abel was the most gifted, the most mysterious, the most effective spy in his time. His trial, which began in a Brooklyn United States District Court and ended in the Supreme Court of the United States, chillingly revealed the methods and successes of Soviet espionage. No one was better equipped to tell the whole absorbing history than James B. Donovan, who was appointed to defend one of his country’s enemies and did so with scrupulous skill. In Strangers on a Bridge, the lead prosecutor in the Nuremburg Trials offers a clear-eyed and fast-paced memoir that is part procedural drama, part dark character study and reads like a noirish espionage thriller. From the first interview with Abel to the exchange on the bridge in Berlin—and featuring unseen photographs of Donovan and Abel as well as trial notes and sketches drawn from Abel’s prison cell—here is an important historical narrative that is “as fascinating as it is exciting” (The Houston Chronicle).
