Divided ogetherTe United States andthe Soviet Union inthe United Nations,1945–1965
Ilya V. Gaiduk
Divided ogether studies US andSoviet policy toward the UnitedNations during the rst two
decades o the Cold War. It shedsnew light on a series o key epi-sodes, beginning with the prehis-tory o the UN, an institution thataimed to keep the Cold War cold.
Gaiduk employs previously secretSoviet les on UN policy, greatly expanding the evidentiary basisor studying the world organiza-tion. His analysis o Soviet and
US tactics and behavior, coveringa series o international contro- versies over security and crisisresolution, reveals how the rivalstried to use the UN to gain lever-age over each other during theinstitution’s critical early years.

Emma Goldman:A Documentary History o theAmerican Years,Volume 3Light and Shadows,1910–1916Edited by Candace Falk
Emma Goldman could not haveknown that the years rom 1910to 1916 would be her most pro-lic, perhaps the most celebratedperiod in her entire lie, boththen and now.

a political theorist, author, orator,and internationalist.
Tis volume’s primary sourcesinclude a remarkable selection o letters, newspaper reportage, gov-ernment surveillance documents,essays and speeches, photographs,and lecture bills, all paired withdetailed scholarly annotation. Inaddition, the volume is preaced

MarigoldTe Lost Chance orPeace in VietnamJames G. Hershberg
Marigold presents the rst
rigorously documented,in-depth story o one o theVietnam War’s last great mys-teries: the secret Polish-Italianpeace initiative, codenamed
“Marigold,” that sought to endthe war, or at least to open
direct talks between Washington and Hanoi, in 1966. Teinitiative ailed, the war dragged on or another sevenyears, and this episode sank into history as an unresolvedcontroversy. Antiwar critics claimed Johnson had bungled(or, worse, deliberately sabotaged) a breakthrough by bombing Hanoi on the eve o a planned historic secretUS-North Vietnamese encounter in Warsaw. Conversely,LBJ and top aides angrily insisted there was no “missedopportunity,” Poland never had authority to arrange directtalks, and Hanoi was not ready to negotiate. Conventional
wisdom echoes the view that Washington and Hanoi wereso dug in that no real opportunity existed. Tis book usesnew evidence rom long hidden communist sources toshow that Warsaw was authorized by Hanoi to open directcontacts and that Hanoi had committed to entering talkswith Washington. It reveals LBJ’s personal role in bombingHanoi at a pivotal moment, disregarding the pleas o boththe Poles and his own senior advisors. Te historical impli-
cations o missing this opportunity are immense: Washing-ton did not enter negotiations with Hanoi until more thantwo years and many thousands o lives later, and then in arless auspicious circumstances.

Brazil, 1822–1888 explores suchmoments o opportunity and re-sistance in Santos, a Southeast-ern township in Imperial Brazil.It argues that slavery in Brazilwas hierarchical: slaves’ eetingchances to orm amilies, work jobs that would not kill or maim,avoid debilitating diseases, ornd a (legal or illegal) pathway
out o slavery were highly in-uenced by their demographicbackground and their owners’social position.

Te Premiseo Fidelity Science, Visuality, andRepresenting the Realin Nineteenth-Century Japan
Maki Fukuoka
Te Premise o Fidelity puts or-ward a new history o Japanese
visuality through an examina-tion o the discourses and prac-tices surrounding the nineteenthcentury transposition o “thereal” in the decades beore pho-tography was introduced. Tisintellectual history is inormedby a careul examination o anetwork o local scholars—romphysicians to armers to bureau-
crats—known as Shōhyaku-sha.In their archival materials, thesescholars used the term shashin (which would, years later, cometo signiy “photography” inJapanese) in a wide variety o medical, botanical, and picto-rial practices. Tese scholarspursued questions o the re-lationship between what they
observed and what they believedthey knew, in the process inves-tigating scientic ideas and prac-tices by obsessively naming andclassiying, and then renderingthrough highly accurate illustra-tion, the objects o their study.

Connecting Histor-

Shah Mahmoud Hani
Most histories o nineteenth-cen-tury Aghanistan argue that thecountry remained immune tothe colonialism emanating rom
British India because, militarily,Aghan deenders were successulin keeping out British imperialinvaders. However, despite thesemilitary victories, colonial inu-ences still made their way intoAghanistan. Looking closely atcommerce in and between Kabul,Peshawar, and Qandahar, thisbook reveals how local Aghan
nomads and Indian bankers re-sponded to state policies on trade.
