Paperback. Zustand: As New. Unread and unopened! ISBN: 0-906879-29-9. 73pp, plus ads. Perfect binding. Written over seventy years ago Man and Technics is a tireless, juicy polemic presenting a merciless case for social pessimism. Spengler blasts away at utopianism and political optimism, using a fierce and iconoclastic stream of language. Colourful insights leap off the page at the reader, and the underlying logic, while questionable in places, is based on a clear vision of the the worldlings of society. The fundamental premise of the book is that the world is governed by natural forces, forces in man and nature, not genteel political and religious creeds. All in all, Man and Technics is the work of an astute intellect, keen to the true operation of the universe It contains startling and refreshing ideas guaranteed to stimulate your thinking, if not re-arrange your whole world-view. From book:OSWALD SPENGLER is one of the most important intellectuals of the Twentieth Century and his major work, The Decline of the West, a massive effort which ran to over 1,000 pages and two volumes, had sold 100,000 copies by 1927.Oswald Spengler was born in 1880 and he was an isolated and somewhat incorrigible figure; a retired schoolteacher who endured penury in order to complete his massive work; the magnum opus to which he devoted his life. He once described himself as a lone scribbler, a man who peered into cultures from the outside - an analyst of meta-cultural phenomena - a man who dissected the rise, decline and fall of various civilizations - all of which he anatomised in the manner of plants, whose botanical propensities he classified à la Goethe. In a sense, therefore, he was a taxonomist of culture; a man who 'worked over' cultures, who tagged, docketed and examined them like specimens on the laboratory bench.Oswald Spengler always believed that the inner reasons for Western collapse could be brought to the surface and this was something which struck a particular chord at the end of the Great War. When European civilization was prostrate and exhausted - wracked with pain and dissolution, as the abortive German revolution began which led to the collapse of the Prussian monarchy and its replacement with Weimar, a nominally democratic republic which rested on the guns of the Freikorps who had put down the Communists.…

Battleground Berlin is the definitive, insider's account of the espionage warfare in Berlin between CIA and KGB from 1945 to the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961. Two intelligence veterans ~ major players on opposite sides of the Cold War ~ have joined in an unprecedented collaboration to tell the story. Basing their narrative on personal recollections, interviews with other CIA and KGB officers, and documents never before made public, the authors provide a vast number of new details of CIA's infiltration of the new East German intelligence service; the construction, operation, and uncovering of the Berlin tunnel; and many other initiatives and countermoves dealing with the series of crises that racked Berlin and jeopardized an uneasy world peace during this period. Battleground Berlin illuminates some of the most compelling mysteries of the Cold War, including: what really happened the night the Soviets "discovered" the Berlin tunnel. who ordered the building of the Berlin Wal land why did the West seem so ill prepared. how did infighting among Soviet leaders affect decision making during the most critical moments of the Berlin crisis. how did power struggles between KGB and its protege, the dread East German security service, shape the political landscape of East Germany and heighten tension in West Berlin. how much did the famous defector Otto John reveal to KGB~and why until his death was he still unable to clear his name. and much more. The book, an operational and organizational history of the world's two most important secret service organizations during a critical time, unveils the vital connection between intelligence gathering and political decision making at the highest levels. Full of intrigue and suspense, it is a story not to be forgotten. …
