USA: Human Rights Watch, 1993. Soft cover. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Paperback. Pbo. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. [10], 140 p. Guardians of thought: Limits on freedom of expression in Iran (Middle East Watch Report). In Iran it is never clear whether what can be said, written or filmed today will be cause for financial ruin, arrest or other punishment tomorrow. Guardians of Thought, which primarily covers the period 1989-1993, examines the various mechanisms of state control of expression and presents more than sixty individual cases (and one group case involving 161 people) of Iranian writers, filmmakers, journalists and intellectuals who have been imprisoned, prosecuted or otherwise punished for the content of their work or whose work has been banned and censored. The breadth of censorship goes well beyond the cases examined here, these only serve to illustrate tactics of direct and often violent pressure by vigilante groups, of defamation campaigns, of formal censorship, and of the power play between different pressure groups within the ruling elite., Human Rights Watch, 1993, 5, New York, N. Y., U.S.A.: Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press, 2002. First U.S. Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. The struggles of the Israelis and Palestinians - with their terrible histories of disaster and redemption - command the obsessive attention of the world. Statesmen tinker with peace plans for the Middle East and generals worry about future wars there. Religious leaders stoke the violent passions of the devout while pilgrims flock to find God and archaeologists dig to find the origins of His revelations. All this goes on under the watchful eye of an army of reporters, observers, diplomatic envoys, and aid workers. Between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River, dreams and ideals collide with the reality of violent nationalist struggle, and God's name is invoked in defense of the jealousies of men. With the experienced journalist's eye for irony, anecdote, and telling detail, Anton La Guardia offers an intimate look into the Israelis as they come to terms with the "post-Zionist" demolition of national myths, and the Palestinians as they try to build their own state. A classic in the making, WAR WITHOUT END is the definitive book on Israel and her people.As new, unread, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.{Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} NF12, Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press, 2002, 5<
