Nemesis at Potsdam

The Anglo-Americans and the Expulsion of the Germans

By: Alfred M. de Zayas

First published in 1979, Nemesis at Potsdam discusses the expulsion and spoliation of the Germans from most of central and easter Europe during the Second World War, a process which over two million did not survive. How did this extraordinary event come about? Was it necessary for the peace of Europe? What role did Britain and the United States play in authorizing the ‘transfer’? The book answers these questions and relates the integration of the German expellees to the phenomenal resurgence of West Germany, and traces the development of Ostpolitik and détente through to the Helsinki Declaration. It will be of interest to students of history, international relations, and political science.

Camera Work

The Complete Image Collection

By: Alfred Stieglitz

Many of the early twentieth century's finest examples of photography and modernist art reached their widest audience in the fifty issues of Camera Work, edited and published by the legendary photographer Alfred Stieglitz from 1903 to 1917. The lavishly illustrated periodical established photography as a fine art, and brought a new sensibility to the American art world. This volume reproduces chronologically all the photographs and other illustrations (except for advertisements) that ever appeared in the publication. Included here are some of the finest and best-known works by American and European artists and photographers, including numerous photos by Stieglitz himself as well as Edward (as Eduard) Steichen, Paul Strand, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Clarence White, Robert Demachy, Frank Eugene, Julia Margaret Cameron, Gertrude Käsebier, Heinrich Kühn, and many others. Paintings, drawings, and sculpture by Van Gogh, Cézanne, Mary Cassatt, Picasso, Matisse, John Marin, Rodin, Brancusi, and Nadelman—to name just a famous few—appear here as well. Marianne Fulton Margolis provided an extensive historical Introduction about Stieglitz and the magazine and prepared three complete Indexes of the pictures, by title, artist, and sitter. Painstakingly accurate and complete, Camera Work is an indispensable reference for an outstanding period in the history of photography and art.

Countering Mainstream Narratives

Fake News, Fake Law, Fake Freedom

By: Alfred de Zayas

Faced with the startling and blaring unity of global Western mainstream messaging, the public has become ever more distrustful of the MSM narratives--and with good reason. Authoritative sources have begun pushing back and offering cogent challenges to these proclaimed truths--and in turn, the digital gatekeepers have been increasingly cracking down on what they regard as unwelcome alternative views--irrespective of the stature of the persons providing them. In this collection of essays, former UN Independent Expert on International Order, Professor Alfred de Zayas, takes mainstream disinformation, fake news, censorship and self-censorship head-on. Stressing the importance of access to information and to a genuinely pluralistic spectrum of views as indispensable to every functioning democracy, de Zayas provides an insightful counter-narrative, shedding light on the key issues facing humanity today. This collection of essays spans a broad spectrum of issues, including * the need to overhaul the human rights apparatus, * the weaponization of human rights against geopolitical rivals, * the instrumentalization of domestic and international law for purposes of "lawfare", initiatives for world peace, * disarmament for development, * the sustainable development goals, * the information war, what and whom to believe, * the democratic function of whistleblowers, * the persecution of human rights defenders like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, * the destructive role of the military-industrial-financial complex, * the elevation of NATO to cult status, so that we must believe its narratives as a matter of faith, * the demonization of Russia and China and the consequences of incitement to hatred in escalating tensions world-wide * the Beijing Olympics * the evidence-free allegations of "genocide" in Xinjiang, and not least, * the war in Ukraine. The essays also explore moral, legal and philosophical questions on law and justice, law and punishment, and the rule of international tribunals. Drawn from de Zayas' recent contributions to the respected online news journal, Counterpunch, Countering the Mainstream Narratives provides an exceptional guide to unwinding the fakery that engulfs us. De Zayas' essays and op-eds have also been published in the Guardian, The Independent, Inter Press service, Truthout, Counterpunch, as well as in the Tribune de Genève, Le Courrier, die Welt, die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and other newspapers.

A Terrible Revenge

The Ethnic Cleansing of the East European Germans

By: Alfred-Maurice de Zayas

The genocidal barbarism of the Nazi forces has been well documented. What is little known is the fate of fifteen million German civilians who found themselves on the wrong side of new postwar borders. All over Eastern Europe, the inhabitants of communities that had been established for many centuries were either expelled or killed. Over two million Germans did not survive. Some of these people had supported Hitler, but the great majority were guiltless. In A Terrible Revenge, de Zayas describes this horrible retribution. This new edition includes an updated foreword, epilogue and additional information from recent interviews with the children of the displaced.
