Interesting & informative Overview Of Trials At Nuremberg.......2000-12-12
To the mind of many historical observers, nothing so defines the striking differences between the nature of the Third Reich from the constitutional democracies that largely comprised the Allies as the way in which the defendants of the trials at Nuremberg were handled. With painstaking precision and at extraordinary cost in terms of international arm-twisting and back-door deals, the proponents of a judicial proceeding designed to illustrate the manifest individual guilt of the various Nazi officials forged a result that still stands today as a model of a non-retributive effort in the face of extraordinary pressure. While one can hardly describe the Nuremberg trials as unflawed or perfect, they did prove to the world that the Allies were willing to subscribe to the existing canon of law to judge the actions of the Nazis.
Doing so was anything but easy, Indeed, achieving a fair result that would literally convince the watching world of the guilt of the participants in the war was anything but easy, and moving toward that deliberate goal is a theme providing an interesting theme punctuating the pace of the book. Churchill wanted revenge by way of summary trials and quick retribution, while the Russians just wanted to string up the whole group in a mass hanging. Yet American Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson was able to resolve the differences well enough to proceed, although at times the reader wonders if the trials will be anything like the fair-minded judicial event he has in mind. Indeed, the back-stabbing, personal ambitions, and petty jealousies of the various factions, trial officials, and individual defendants becomes a kind of political circus that sometimes resembles nothing so much as vaudevillian showboating.
Still, the efforts at conducting a fair and open forum for the world to watch as the prosecution and defense teams clashed before the international tribunal prevailed, and the trials concluded with mixed results in terms of the results. Most of the defendants were found guilty, and many were hanged. Yet few observers doubted that the defendants had had their day in court along with and adequate opportunity to defend their actions to a watching world. Given how little justice and liberty they collectively allowed for their tens of millions of victims, it is remarkable just how civilized and dignified a proceeding the Nuremberg trials were, with all their theatrics and subterranean undercurrents.
One marvels at the fact that after fifty years the world still stands in awe at the deliberate, careful, and methodical way in which the Allies achieved the result of a rational and fair trial of the defendants in history's most horrific modern nightmare, the terror of the Third Reich. This is an interesting and absorbing book, and a fascinating and entertaining book to read. It was also particularly interesting to me because it explores the lives of each of the defendants in looking at their individual guilt. I recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about these singular trials and their impact on history
Great overview of the Nuremburg Trial.......2000-10-26
This is hands down the most depressing book I have ever read in my life. I'm not saying that as a criticism. It is completely appropriate to feel depressed after reading this book on this subject.
What did I gain from this book? First hand accounts from the Trials of the war crimes and crimes against humanity that occurred on the part of Germany during World War II. I've read other books on World War II and accounts from survivors of concentration camps. I've also visited the US Holocaust Memorial in Washington DC and WWII exhibits at other museums. This book had just as much emotional impact because it used extensive quotes from the Trials themselves from the people who committed the crimes and their victims. In addition, I gained a deeper understanding of some of the other aspects of Germany's behavior leading up to and at the beginning of WWII. For example, while I knew that Germany had taken over Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia and other countries, I did not have a true understanding of the duplicitous actions and downright lies on the part of the German leaders that led these countries to feel safe while at the same time Germany was preparing for aggressive action. Actually reading the first hand testimony given by the war criminals had a great deal of impact.
There are a number of rather graphic photographs both of concentration camps and of the war criminals after execution, but this is expected in a book like this. The book also makes extensive use of transcripts from the Trials and of other reports gathered by the prosecuting countries in preparation for the Trials which cause the pace of the book to be rather slow at times. It is also clearly written with a bias towards the United States, but this makes sense because of the type of book it is. I also found myself thinking of this book as a summary of all of the trial information rather than as a historical book standing on its own.
Overall, I would recommend this book mainly to those interested in learning in detail about what the defendants in the Nuremburg Trials were convicted of and why. It is not fun or light reading but serious reading presented in a style that requires you to pay a great deal of attention.
Good Account.......2000-05-09
In this book, a very detailed account of what went on in the Nazi government as the end near in the Nuremberg Trials. A very good read and moderate level of easiness. So basically anyone can read it and more importantly understand it. Harris is a good fellow who illustrated the Trial in a way that now one has yet to achieve.
Book Description

Double Lives, Second Chances........2005-02-02
Kieslowski changed my life. I watched RED first, then WHITE and Finally BLUE. I've never watched anything that moved me so. So much better than anything that comes out of Hollywood( except for the occasional Shawshank). Ann Insdorf does a great job narrating the DVD--in the 'extras' section of the trilogy. Based on her performance, I bought 'Double Lives'. I enjoyed her personal observations of the master at work. I loved her book. My only complaint is I wanted more analysis of the Trilogy(and the Decalogue). But she gives a fantastic job on the Trilogy DVD set. She's a true scholar of the sage.
Blue White Red.......1999-11-30
I have been an enormous follower and keeper of Kieslowki's work since a fateful afternoon when I stumbled upon a showing of "Blue" several years ago. This of course came to a bittersweet juncture when K died in 1997. Regardless, this book accurately captures the the development of this extraordinary director... and writer. Insdorff presented some interesting insights in her writing amidst some oversights: the car in Blue was a Puegeott, not BMW, and no mentioning of "Blue's" Julie's accident interruption in court in "White". Although Kieslowki's beginnings and earlier works like his string of documentaries and "Decalogue" are crutcial to his foundation as an outstandingly brilliant director as showcased in the Three Colors trilogy, I wished more expoundment was made on the his final three works which is truly poetry in images.
Product Description
As a small boy, Pieter Kohnstam lived with his parents in an apartment in Amsterdam during World War II. Anne Frank, whose diary later became world famous, was a neighbor and playmate. When the Nazis occupied The Netherlands, the Frank family went into hiding, but the Kohnstams decided to flee. Their year-long odyssey across Europe was filled with hardship, danger and miraculous escapes. Based on a memoir of Pieter's father, "A Chance to Live" is a powerful tale of struggle, determination and survival during the Holocaust, chronicling what is best about people and affirming that we are, after all, one human family.
Customer Reviews:
Holocaust history accessible to all.......2007-06-12
What I admire about Mr. Kohnstam's account is its accessibility. One feels the fear, anguish, uncertainty, and relief without florrid descriptions or unnecessary detours. The remarkable narrative has the quality of a story told by a worldly man seated next to you on the plane. I think A Chance to Live is an excellent candidate for middle or high school Holocaust assignments, and a great choice for adult book discussions. Few books in my experience have so powerfully merged personal and world history.
A CHANCE TO LIVE.......2006-11-27
"Another Holocaust story"? Parse the question: Did any of the characters perish in the Holocaust? No. Is it a 'story', that is, in the sense of an embellished adventure-tale? It is not! The author takes pride and pains to point out that A CHANCE TO LIVE is an extensively-researched, true account of his and his parents' escape from Nazi-occupied Amsterdam and their year-long , death-defying odyssey in 1942-43, across Europe to eventual freedom in South America. There may be other accounts of escapes from Hitler and the Nazis but not with the compelling elements of this one. Countless, unsung heroes, many non-Jewish, without hesitation, reached out to aid the Kohnstams in their journey to freedom. But the biggest hero of this saga may well have been six year-old Pieter Kohnstam who now sixty-some years later has given us a unique glimpse into the horrors of Hitler's pathologic ambitions. You will have a difficult time putting down this book. Once you have, you hope you will see it again as a Spielberg film or a television mini-series. It has all the right elements, and if one believes that this dark period in human history requires retelling, Kohnstam, amid the rise of 21st Century Islamic fascism, takes us back to the mid-20th Century and reminds us -- emphatically but with hope -- of Huxley's admonition: "That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important lesson of all".
A "must read" book........2006-11-15
I met author Pieter Kohnstam when he moved to Venice, Florida several years ago. We have become friends. He is an honorable humanitarian. His book is a "must read" for all high school students and adults. His true story of his family's flight from Nazism in Europe is exciting and terrifying, maddening and exhilarating, suspenseful with periods of calm, and is sure to become a classic. I could hardly put it down after I began to read it. His story is emblematic of the horrors of war and the damage war does to families and people, both physically and emotionally. It is also emblematic of the lengths people will go to survive and to help others to survive - regardless of their cultural differences. Evil and goodness are universal. This book shows us everyone must decide for themselves which of the two they choose and accept the consequences of their actions. I urge you to read this book, and give a copy as a gift to those you know. You won't be sorry you did.
A wonderful story, that would make a great movie!.......2006-11-11
This is an exciting story of a family's escape from Nazi tyranny in Holland. This is not exactly the kind of Holocaust story we have been accustomed to reading or viewing. There are no death camps here, there is no torture. Those things are underlying, however, and we know that just one false move by the parents and their child will result in their capture and death. There are many moments of suspense and mystery. There are many amazing coincidences that enable the family to make their journey. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. This is a fine book, and one that would make a wonderful movie.
Book Description
Each chapter of this inventive consideration of American culture evokes an actual meeting between American writers and artists, from Henry James and Mathew Brady, to Mark Twain and Ulysses S. Grant, to Elizabeth Bishop and Marianne Moore, to Norman Mailer and Robert Lowell. The accumulation of these pairings draws the reader into the mysterious process by which creativity has been sparked and passed on, from the Civil War through the civil rights movement.

An Intimate Portrait of Various Artists.......2007-01-20
Much like her narrative, Cohen's eyes draw the reader into her own world from the surface of her dustjacket. And what is that world? A world of intimiate connections expressed through the smallest of gestures and the shortest of moments. It is obvious from reading A Chance Meeting that Cohen has entwined herself with each and every one of her subjects to become their close friend, despite being decades away from meeting them in person. That doesn't stop her, however, from creating a wonderful narrative of shared moments and chance meetings between various artists of the early 20th Century. Whether those actors or authors managed to sustain a relationship for years, or merely sense each other from across the room, doesn't matter as Cohen has an art for deeply plumbing each character's soul to see the impact that such meetings have upon their decisions. Not every one is moved by such small encounters as an introduction, but Cohen pieces together a rich tapestry of influential artists, each of which motivated another through such moments, and does a fine job of it. Finally, one gets to see the authors completely naked, instead of through the rough hewn lens of their work.
Past Cultural Icons Lead the Way on their Inter-connected Path.......2006-06-08
Everything the editorial reviews say about "A Chance Meeting" is all true. Rachel Cohen has placed 30 major American cultural figures--writers and artists--in 36 intertwined encounters ranging more than a century (1854-1967) that reads like a cross of a gossipy letter home (back when we did that) and carefully thought-out commentary and conjecture.
This book is not only an informative, fun, and thought-provoking read--for artists and writers, it is a well of companionship. Have you ever been lonely in your studio or study as you created? Have you ever been broke, searching for that next fellowship or contract? Have you ever been inspired by a chance meeting of a fellow/sister artist and writer? Did you ever wonder what pleasures and problems fame might bring? These and many other questions are answered in these rich encounters.
Authors and artists I've studied are presented here as human beings working to remain human while they create their work. This is a tremendous guidebook not only for lovers of cultural history, but also for current makers of culture.

Book Description
“They met in ordinary ways,” writes Rachel Cohen in her introduction, “a careful arrangement after long admiration, a friend’s casual introduction, or because they both just happened to be standing near the drinks. . . . They talked to each other for a few hours or for forty years, and later it seemed to them impossible that they could have missed each other.”
Each chapter of this inventive consideration of American culture evokes an actual meeting between two historical figures. In 1854, Henry James, as a boy, goes with his father to have a daguerreotype made by Mathew Brady and is captured in a moment of self-consciousness about being American. Brady returns to photograph Walt Whitman and, later, at City Point in the midst of the Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant. Meanwhile, Henry James begins a lasting friendship with William Dean Howells, and also meets Sarah Orne Jewett, who in turn is a mentor to Willa Cather. Mark Twain publishes Grant’s memoirs; W.E.B. Du Bois and his professor William James visit the young Helen Keller; and Edward Steichen and Alfred Stieglitz argue about photography. Later, Carl Van Vechten and Gertrude Stein, who was also a student of William James’s, attend a performance of The Rite of Spring; Hart Crane goes out on the town with Charlie Chaplin; Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston write a play together; Elizabeth Bishop takes Marianne Moore, who was photographed by both Van Vechten and Richard Avedon, to the circus; Avedon and James Baldwin collaborate on a book; John Cage and Marcel Duchamp play chess; and Norman Mailer and Robert Lowell march on the Pentagon in the anti–Vietnam War demonstration of 1967. The accumulation of these pairings draws the reader into the mysterious process through which creativity has been sparked and passed on among iconoclastic American writers and artists.
Ultimately, Rachel Cohen reveals a long chain of friendship, rebellion, and influence stretching from the moment just before the Civil War through a century that had a profound effect on our own time. Drawing on a decade of research,
A Chance Meeting makes its own illuminating contribution to the tradition of which Cohen writes.

A SUCCESSFUL VENTURE IN HISTORICAL IMAGINING.......2005-11-12
Rachel Cohen's A Chance Meeting: Intertwined Lives of American Writers and Artists 1854-1967 is an exceptional work of literary detection and interpretation. In thirty-six chapters, Cohen narrates a set of encounters of distinguished American literati and artists across the span of 113 years, laying out changes in the preoccupations and sensibilities of American writers and artists in the century that followed the Civil War. Some meetings are brief, even one-time, and peripheral to the protagonists' lives as, for instance, the Henry James, still a child, sitting with his father for a photograph by Matthew Brady, or William Dean Howells' one-time meeting with Walt Whitman, or Richard Avedon's photo shoot of modernists Merce Cunningham, John Cage, and Robert Rauschenberg. The meeting of James and Brady is also a "might have been" meeting, for Cohen takes a daring chance to capture and describe James's literary and intellectual sensibility on the brink of radical change. Other chapters describe longer standing relationships -Mark Twain and Ulysses S. Grant, Edward Steichen and Alfred Steiglitz, Joseph Cornell and Marianne Moore, Hart Crane's disastrous stay in Mexico with Katherine Anne Porter, the complicated father and son relationship of W. E. B. Du Bois and Langston Hughes, the advance-retreat relationship between Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston.
This is not a book of strict factual history (although nothing in it runs counter to what can be proved using historical methods) but rather a book of rich historical sensitivity that illuminates a critical period in the maturing of our country's literature and art. It is written with exceptional grace: each chapter can be read separately without loss in pleasure or comprehension. This is a bold venture that deserves a wide readership.
The reader who enjoys A Chance Meeting may also enjoy Louis Menand's The Metaphysical Club: A History of Ideas in America (which I am reading right now).
Excellent Book About Artists in America.......2004-06-24
This is a collection of essays about the private lives of important American authors and artists. Cohen's essays are based almost entirely on secondary works and begin with 19th Century authors and artists and then continue on through the 20th Century.
These essays are written in such a way that you get a feel for the kind of folks that these artistic types actually were. The reader learns all sorts of interesting things about these people such as their vices, lusts and secret desires.
This is an excellent book about the history of artistic endeavor in America.
Relax and Set Sail on Artistic Adventures with a Noble Cast.......2004-06-09
Rachel Cohen has created a diversion in A CHANCE MEETING: INTERTWINED LIVES OF AMERICAN ARTISTS, 1854 - 1967 that is more a series of illuminated daydreams than it is a sourcebook for biographical data on the important artists in American over a century spanning 1860s through 1960s. No, this is not a code of secretive encounters between unlikely and disparate writers, photograpahers, and artists, nor is it a professed series of inside stories meant to reveal the truths about those we deem as gifted. Cohen writes splendidly, and though she documents with copious bibliography and chapter notes the instances she encountered in her survey of 'chance meetings ' by a diversity of disparate artists, she seems more intent on using fact as springboard to create cadenzas of intricately woven possibilities to stimulate the reader to enter the wonderful world of 'what if?' than in declaring new-found discoveries of data/gossip.
Here in short and terse chapters we meet Matthew Brady, Walt Whitman, Henry James, Marcel Duchamp, Langston Hughes, Hart Crane, Mark Twain, Willa Cather, Alfred Steiglitz with and without Georgia O'Keefe, Charlie Chaplin, Richard Avedon, Gertrude Stein with and without Alice B. Toklas, etc., etc. - you get the picture. The joy of Cohen's writing is the possibilities created by perseverating on the conversations that might have occurred among these people, whether in duet or in orchestrated outcome. My bet is that if the casts of characters here discussed were to read these informative and provocative pages, they doubtless would smile, swoon, curse, or laugh, but in some way react to the vision and imagination of Rachel Cohen. This is a delightful book for devout readers and lovers of artistic history. There is so much to learn about artists who even today are on the periphery as well as the giants we all 'think' we know! This wonderful book is for relaxation and diversion and the rewards are many.
William Dean Howells liked blueberry cake.......2004-04-19
A CHANCE MEETING, divided into into 36 short chapters, contains stories of the relationships between noted writers and artists from just before the Civil War to the late 1960s. Most of the chapters are framed around a single meeting, but contain digressions which sometimes encompass other famous figures.
What are we to make of this unique, celebratory, and quite often infuriating work? Each chapter is backed up by Rachel Cohen's source notes, detailing the basis for the events and behavior described. Yet, throughout the book there's a curiously speculative tone, Cohen describes many of her beloved figures as "maybe" doing or thinking this or that. In the opening chapter, Henry James (then a young boy) is described as feeling a "persistent uneasiness" while eating ice cream after having his portrait taken by Matthew Brady. Cohen notes this episode is invented, but then one must ask, "Why is this important?" Surely a book very much like this could have been written without such flights of fancy?
Indeed, several chapters fail to coalesce at all. In a chapter on Willa Cather and Sarah Orne Jewett, Cohen asserts that the fact Cather did NOT meet Henry James changed the artistic direction of her career. How can this be proven? In most of these vignettes, no direct suggestion is made of how the characters influenced each other. Cohen is edging away from history and criticism and dangerously close to short fiction here. The book picks up in the last third, with some gossipy stuff about Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop and a funny scene of Marianne Moore and Muhammad Ali together, but the whole thing is much too ephemeral. The photographer Richard Avedon provided several photos - he's thanked in the acknowledgements - but did he deserve to be included in the title of several chapters? It's not as if the people he photographed (Langston Hughes and Carl Van Vechten, for example) hadn't met before.
A suggestion: read some of the books Cohen sites in her bibliography instead of A CHANCE MEETING.
Comfort Reading.......2004-04-19
What an exhilierating experience! I savored these 36 essays over a few weeks, reading only a handful a night before I went to bed. The book is just beautiful; there is no other word to describe the writing, tone, and voice of Rachel Cohen's book.

Book Description
Rhae Elliott and her husband Keith did what most of us imagine doing when watching the TV programmes telling the stories of people who sell up and leave all familiar things to start life in a new country. They made the decision to move to Central France making the dream of a life abroad a reality. After several visits investigating different areas of France they bought a wonderful 200-year-old farmhouse and dilapidated cottage in the Berry Creuse region and began a new life. In a year they redecorated the farmhouse, renovated the cottage and ran a successful gite business. The story tells of the necessary steps to get health cover, problems with local builders and dealings at the Maire. It tells of marathon lunches and continues with tales of visits to local fetes. It explains the difficulties encountered mastering the language and the way the British network to help each other in a Foreign Land.

By Chance to Live in Central France.......2007-10-02
This is a personal experience of time spent in Central France, getting to know the local people and their customs. There are some amusing stories of visits to fetes, brocantes and street markets. The book tells of the all too familiar contretemps with builders and shop assistants caused by a limited knowledge of the French language. The internet has been used to gather certain information in the book but it includes some interesting historical facts and supports the theme of the way life rolls along in rural France. The author's web site, www.lifeincentralfrance.com, designed to illustrate the book, includes pictures of the location where the diary was written and also some charming photographs of local towns and villages. Yes, it is a self published book but it depicts how the English/French relationships have to be worked on to settle successfully in France.
Written like a journal.......2007-03-16
This book was written like a journal or a WebLog and is a hodgepodge of random thoughts. There are numerous typos and outright misspellings (lose is spelled incorrectly throughout as loose). Either an editor was needed or the person that typed the US version needed help, but the overall quality is poor. If you are interested in the subject matter you might enjoy the book. The reviewer from Vancouver, Canada may be related to the author as that is where the book says that the author moved to after living in France. An example of the writing in this book is that the author refers to "kissy kissy" in what appears to be an impatient way when referring to the French greeting by kissing on both cheeks. I was also amazed to see comments about going to a store in France and being irrirated that the people speak French and not Englsh. How amazing is it that in France the French people speak the French language?
Entertaining & Informative.......2006-08-08
What a great book! I bought this book thinking it would be just a factual book about moving to France but it has so much more. The book was infact very informative, it does explain how to deal with all the obsticals that come your way when moving to another country but it was also amusing and very entertaining. The author has detailed alot of personal information, funny incidents and typical situations that make you feel part of her journey. It really enjoyed reading this book and hope to see another by the same author.
