This is the remarkable story of how two brothers - Edouard and Andre Michelin - turned a sleepy, family tyre firm in the heart of rural France into one of the most innovative and successful industrial empires in the world. Edouard, a landscape painter at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, displayed an engineering genius for tyre-making and product innovation, whilst Andre, trained as an engineer, displayed a creative genius for advertising and marketing. Together they kick-started the world motor industry and created a tourist industry around the motor car and their now legendary "Michelin Guides". The Michelin history, as described here by Herbert Lottman, reveals insights into the development of this remarkable business.

The Left Bank

Writers, Artists, and Politics from the Popular Front to the Cold War

By: Herbert Lottman

This story begins in the Paris of the 1930s, when artists and writers stood at the center of the world stage. In the decade that saw the rise of the Nazis, much of the thinking world sought guidance from this extraordinary group of intellectuals. Herbert Lottman's chronicle follows the influential players—Gide, Malraux, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Koestler, Camus, and their pro-Fascist counterparts—through the German occupation, Liberation, and into the Cold War, when the struggle between superpowers all but drowned out their voices. "Surprisingly fresh and intense. . . . A retrospective travelogue of the Left Bank in the days when it was the setting for almost all French intellectual activity. . . . Absorbing."—Naomi Bliven, New Yorker "As an introduction to a period in French history already legendary, The Left Bank is superb."—Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World "An intellectual history. A history of the interaction between politics and letters. And a rumination on the limitless credulity of intellectuals."—Christopher Hitchens, New Statesman

Albert Camus in New York

Albert Camus in New York

By: Herbert R. Lottman

When Albert Camus arrived in New York he was all but unknown on foreign shores -- our shores for example. The Stranger, his first influential novel, was to be published only during his American visit. University specialists knew something about him, and some were already great admirers, as were a handful of francophile journalists. But in Paris Camus was a full blown hero, a young and brilliant author of eminent works, a likable champion of the Resistance. His relative obscurity in New York made him totally accessible, added intensity to his brief stay, for those fortunate enough to meet him then, and for us now as we reach back to recreate those days.

Privatizing: A Social Milestone or Millstone?

By: Herbert Siegel

When politicians redistribute public wealth by privatizing State-Owned Enterprises ( SOE ), they divest themselves of public accountability, and profoundly affect laws, economics, and social behavior. Data gathered from respondents in twenty-eight countries including lawyers, investment bankers, bureaucrats, and educators, identify beneficiaries and victims of privatizing processes. Results are then explained by statistical analysis, concluding with compensatory arrangements that can humanize privatizing.

Historical Dictionary of American Propaganda

By: Martin J. Manning,Herbert Romerstein

From the French and Indian War in 1754, with Benjamin Franklin's Join or Die cartoon, to the present war in Iraq, propaganda has played a significant role in American history. The Historical Dictionary of American Propaganda provides more than 350 entries, focusing primarily on propaganda created by the U.S. government throughout its existence. Two specialists, one a long-time research librarian at the U.S. Information Agency (the USIA) and the State Department's Bureau of Diplomacy, and the other a former USIA Soviet Disinformation Officer, Martin J. Manning and Herbert Romerstein bring a profound knowledge of official U.S. propaganda to this reference work. The dictionary is further enriched by a substantial bibliography, including films and videos, and an outstanding annotated list of more than 105 special collections worldwide that contain material important to the study of U.S. propaganda. Students, researchers, librarians, faculty, and interested general readers will find the Historical Dictionary of American Propaganda an authoritative ready-reference work for quick information on a wide range of events, publications, media, people, government agencies, government plans, organizations, and symbols that provided mechanisms to promote America's interests, both abroad and domestically, in peace and in war. Almost all entries conclude with suggestions for further research, and the topically arranged bibliography provides a further comprehensive listing of important resources, including films and videos.

Return of the Rothschilds

The Great Banking Dynasty Through Two Turbulent Centuries

By: Herbert R. Lottman

This is a collective biography of the quintessential banking dynasty which came to prominence in France and whose successive generations gave every language the superlative rich as Rothschild. The French Rothchilds are perhaps the most fascinating branch of the family, with a history closely intertwined with that of post-Napoleonic France, the restoration and the July monarchy.

Man Ray's Montparnasse

By: Herbert R. Lottman

For the first 30 years of the 20th century, the streets surrounding the intersection of the blvd. du Montparnasse and the blvd. Raspail marked the center of avant-garde Europe. Here is an introduction to this small section of Paris on the Left Bank during a time of artistic ferment and experimentation, of private affairs that became public ones, and of political and social change. Man Ray, the renowned photographer documented it all. His world was filled with artists, writers, and poets, and his camera was his key, allowing him access to cafes, salons, artists' studios, and writers' homes. Illus. with Man Ray's own photos of such people as Gertrude Stein, Marcel Proust, Pablo Picasso, Peggy Guggenheim, and Marcel Duchamp, this book chronicles a legendary time and place.

Albert Camus

By: Herbert R. Lottman

La toute première biographie consacrée à Albert Camus. Une réédition augmentée d'une préface inédite de son auteur. En 1960, Albert Camus meurt dans un accident de voiture, à l'âge de 46 ans. Près de vingt ans après cette brutale disparition, Herbert R Lottman signe une biographie sensible et documentée, qui s'impose immédiatement comme une référence incontournable. Il y retrace le parcours d'un écrivain qui, malgré un prix Nobel de littérature qui couronna son oeuvre en 1957, aura souvent été incompris par ses pairs. Depuis sa jeunesse en Algérie jusqu'à la rupture avec Sartre et Beauvoir, Lottman nous accompagne sur les traces de celui dont toute la vie aura été dédiée à l'écriture et à l'engagement politique. Grâce à des notes personnelles rédigées pendant ses dix dernières années, à des textes de jeunesse et à des entretiens avec ses proches, Lottman nous livre ici un Camus méconnu : loin de l'homme à femmes prisé des cercles littéraires, il nous donne à voir un homme souffrant d'avoir échoué à rendre le monde meilleur. Dans cette biographie définitive, il dresse un portrait surprenant et délicat d'une personnalité secrète et intègre, d'un fils d'Algérie qui lutta au nom de ses idées, avant d'être finalement reconnu comme l'un des plus grands écrivains français du XXe siècle.
