        Against All Odds

        The Magnificent Trio That Built the Israeli Air Force

        by Hugo N. Gerstl

        1947 – The UN declares that the British Mandate over Palestine will come to an end. In May 1948 Israel and Arab Palestine will be divided into two independent states. The Arab world reacts immediately: There will be no Jewish state; it will be driven into the sea! Sixty-five million Arabs against six hundred thousand Israeli Jews. Britain has washed its hands of the problem. The United States, under the guise of the Neutrality Act, makes it a felony for any American to supply side with any arms. Americans Al Schwimmer, Hank Greenspun, and Charlie Winters boldly defy the Neutrality Act and risk convictions by purchasing twenty-three former Nazi Messerschmitt Bf-109s in Czechoslovakia, painting out the swastikas on the tails with Jewish stars of David, and smuggling them to Israel; founding a “Panamanian” airline and flying seven large aircraft out of Panama “to do an aerial survey,” but never returning; securing a huge cache of ammunition from a sympathetic junk dealer in Hawaii; smuggling weapons to Mexico on a hijacked yacht, and ultimately shipping them “to Nationalist China” – via Israel. Stripped of most of their rights as US citizens, Schwimmer is recruited to start a small aircraft maintenance plant in Israel, which will become Israel Aircraft Industries, a billion-dollar-a-year operation; Greenspun purchases a defunct newspaper, which he turns into the and is among the first to call witch-hunting Senator Joseph McCarthy to account; Winters returns to importing and exporting fruit and diamonds between Israel and the United States. After the 1967 Six-Day War, when France reneges on its commitment to sell Israel fifty advanced fighter jets, the trio manages to “steal” plans from a friendly engineer in Geneva. Within six months Israel turns out its own homegrown Mach 2 fighter aircraft. And that’s just the beginning. International best-selling author has crafted a tantalizing, rewarding, magnificently readable tour de force based on the true life stories of three of Israel’s most unheralded heroes, cementing and enhancing his reputation as a master storyteller.  Published By Pangæa Publishing Group, 2019. 560 pages – 23 cm x 15 cm , 489 Pages.

        Evita – Une biographie par Dvora Schechner

        by Dvora Schechner

        Evita – Une biographie par Dvora Schechner Il s'agit de l'histoire fascinante d'Eva Perón (1919-1952), dans le cadre d'une œuvre courte mais intensive à travers le monde. Elle traite des passions, des peurs, des haines, des personnages, des situations ainsi que du contexte qui firent d'elle "Evita". "J'avoue avoir une ambition, une grande ambition personnelle: j'aurai voulu qu'Evita ait, de temps à autres, une place dans l'histoire de mon pays", écrit-elle quelques mois avant sa mort. Il ne fait pas de doute, elle mérita sa place. Mais quelle place? Elle est à l'initiative de plusieurs travaux de recherche académique, de nouvelles, de pièces de théâtres, de films et de poèmes. La plupart de ces travaux ont adopté l'un des mythes les plus contradictoires basés sur son caractère – la plus chérie mais aussi la plus méprisée des femmes de son temps. Pour certains, elle est la mère du pauvre et du travailleur, Sainte Evita. Pour d'autres, une pécheresse, une femme munie d'un fouet, une nazie péroniste. Du reste, vingt ans plus tard, certains jeunes croient encore que si Evita était encore vivante, elle serait une guérilla Montonera! Dans cette biographie, elle est décrite sous différents angles. Ce travail analyse la révolution péroniste et revoie la doctrine de Juan Perón, qui s'accorde avec la réelle Evita "à un T". Elle révèle la façon dont elle a façonné son propre charisme afin d'opérer dans un régime populiste et autoritaire. La véritable Evita est plus intéressante et plus splendide encore que toute autre légende.  L'auteur, Dvora Schechner – une écrivain israélien et un professeur, membre du kibboutz Gazit en Basse Galilée – est née à Buenos-Aires en 1930. Elle passa son adolescence dans les rangs de l'opposition au régime péroniste, jusqu'à son immigration en Israël en 1952, deux mois avant la mort d'Evita. Un film documentaire sur les cris de millions d'Argentins l'éperonna afin de tenter de décoder l'énigme. Qui était Evita, et que se cache sous l'amour et la haine de cette femme, jusqu'aujourd'hui? Dvora Schechner a étudié les sciences humaines au séminaire Oranim, et reçu une licence en philosophie, art et histoire à l'université de Tel-Aviv. Ses publications comprennent : Guerre Civile en Espagne (1962-1970); l'Inquisition Espagnole (1972); Evita (1995); une Fille Politique (2003).

        Lyme Disease

        An Evidence-based Approach

        by John J Halperin

        This new edition of Lyme Disease provides up-to-date evidence-based research and covers the significant advances in our understanding of the disorders referred to as Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis. This book explores the causative organism, its requisite ecosystem, disease epidemiology, host-Borrelia interactions, diagnostic testing, clinical manifestations, therapeutic options, the role of host immunity on pathogenesis and long term prognosis. The authors provide balanced perspectives on all aspects of Lyme disease and explicitly review both the basic biology of the infection and practical clinical aspects. This new edition: Includes new borrelial pathogens that have been identified (B. miyamotoi, B. mayonii and B. bavariensis among others). Provides updated information on the molecular biology of the organism, neuroborreliosis, and the role of the C6 peptide in diagnosis. Discusses the controversies about 'chronic Lyme disease', post Lyme disease syndrome and other ongoing but non-specific symptoms that have been attributed to this infection. As the endemic footprint of Lyme disease continues to grow, this book provides a broad and detailed guide for clinicians and researchers involved with the diagnosis and treatment of the condition. Covering biology, epidemiology and therapeutics, it is also essential reading for students of global health and infectious disease.
