74293 ARTHUR SCHLESINGER, Jnr, JOURNALS 1952-2000


edited by Andrew and Stephen Schlesinger ‘Nixon doesn’t lie. He invents his own truths,’ remarked Henry Kissinger to Arthur Schlesinger, just one among hundreds of witticisms recorded by this great political diarist. A Harvard academic who dined with celebrities from Bogart and Bacall to Igor Stravinsky, Arthur M. Schlesinger became a special adviser and speechwriter to J. F. Kennedy and was a minority voice urging caution during the Cuban crisis. Although a political disaster, Cuba unexpectedly improved Kennedy’s popularity. Harold Wilson is ‘a socialist Nixon’ with no sense of principle but ‘immensely clever’. There is media criticism of Jackie Kennedy for holidaying with her sister on Onassis’s yacht, and a month later, at a cocktail party, Schlesinger hears the terrible news of Kennedy’s assassination. He works all night on the funeral arrangements. Schlesinger remained at the centre of Democratic politics and his acerbity does not diminish with age. 894pp, paperback. £15.99 NOW £4


74471 BLACK SHIPS BEFORE TROY: The


Story of The Iliad by Rosemary Sutcliff


This retelling of The Iliad has all the adventure and heroism of her classic books like Eagle of the Ninth. It evocatively recreates past landscapes and customs, and unfolds the mighty conflict between the Greeks and Trojans that ended so dramatically with the epic deception of the Trojan Horse. Women are at the heart of the story, starting with Paris’s kidnap of Helen from under the nose of her husband Menelaus, followed by a stalemate in the Greek camp when Achilles refuses to fight because Agamemnon has taken his girl. The killing of Achilles’ friend Patroclus brings the hero back into the battle to wreak his revenge on the Trojan champion Hector. Meanwhile Odysseus, inventor of the Trojan horse, is playing his own game, making a foray behind enemy lines where he is recognised by Helen.
