Poland What Have I To Do With Thee

Originally published in 1996 in a joint Polish-English edition by Fundacja Judaica, Krakow. This English edition comprises an introduction and 19 collected essays and lectures written by Scharf, a Polish Jew born in Kracow (1914) who emigrated to England in the 1930s. Considered the "chronicler of Kracow Jewry," a virtually extinct world, he wrote the essays in both English and Polish, reflecting his particular perspective as a different kind of "survivor." Essay titles include "Krakow-blessed its memory," "The lesson of Auschwitz," "Rumkowski of the Lodz ghetto," and "Witnesses." Many originally appeared in The Jewish Quarterly (which Sharf co-founded). No index. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

In New York Times bestseller Steve Berry’s latest Cotton Malone adventure, one by one the seven precious relics of the Arma Christi, the weapons of Christ, are disappearing from sanctuaries across the world. After former Justice Department agent Cotton Malone witnesses the theft of one of them, he learns from his old boss, Stephanie Nelle, that a private auction is about to be held where incriminating information on the president of Poland will be offered to the highest bidder—blackmail that both the United States and Russia want, but for vastly different reasons. The price of admission to that auction is one of the relics, so Malone is first sent to a castle in Poland to steal the Holy Lance, a thousand-year-old spear sacred to not only Christians but to the Polish people, and then on to the auction itself. But nothing goes as planned and Malone is thrust into a bloody battle between three nations over information that, if exposed, could change the balance of power in Europe. From the tranquil canals of Bruges, to the elegant rooms of Wawel Castle, to deep beneath the earth into an ancient Polish salt mine, Malone is caught in the middle of a deadly war—the outcome of which turns on a secret known as the Warsaw Protocol.
