Hard Back First Edition of The Bedford Incident by Mark Rascovich with Dust Jacket Copyright 1963 by Mark Rascovich, published by Atheneum, New York The book has clean pages with no dog-ears, slight blunting of the corners and a good solid spine. The dust jacket is in fair condition with a few small tears. This book is great, set in the 1960's cold war era. The story concerns a destroyer in the North Atlantic whose mission is to seek out Russian submarines, and force them to surface. Once the submarines surface, they are photographed, and the game starts again. The problem occurs when one Russian submarine proves to be too elusive, and the Captain of the American destroyer takes it personally, as his own white whale. If you enjoy Tom Clancy’s techno-thrillers, this is an early example of the genre. If you have any Navy experience, I think you'd enjoy this book. The Bedford Incident is a Cold War film from 1965 starring Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier, and co-produced by Richard Widmark. The cast also features Martin Balsam and Eric Portman, as well as an early appearance by Donald Sutherland. The film was based on the 1963 book by Mark Rascovich. The film was written by James Poe and directed by James B. Harris, who until then was best known as Stanley Kubrick's producer. It was produced by Columbia Pictures at studios in England.

Bent on lower right corner and minor scuffing at spine edges. Jerry Cooper, a Jew from a poor family in New York, fights his way out of Hell's Kitchen to become a successful entrepreneur and gangster.

Harold Robbins (originally Harold Rubin) (May 21, 1916–October 14, 1997) was an American author. Born in New York City, Harold Rubin spent his childhood in an orphanage. He was educated at George Washington High School and after leaving school he worked in several jobs. Robbins made his first million at the age of twenty by selling sugar for the wholesale trade. At the beginning of World War II, Robbins had lost his fortune and moved to Hollywood where he worked for Universal Studios, first as a shipping clerk. Later he became a studio executive. His first book, Never Love a Stranger, (1948) drew on his own life as an orphan on the streets of New York and created controversy with its graphic sexuality. Ian Parker says that according to Robbins, publisher Pat Knopf bought Never Love a Stranger because "it was the first time he ever read a book in which on one page you'd have tears and on the next page you'd have a hardon. [sic]" The Dream Merchants (1949) was about Hollywood's film industry, from the first steps to sound era. Again Robbins blended his own experiences, historical facts, melodrama, sex, and action into a fast-moving story. His 1952 novel, A Stone for Danny Fisher, was adapted into a 1958 motion picture King Creole, which starred Elvis Presley. He would become one of the world's bestselling authors, publishing over 20 books which were translated into 32 languages and sold over 50 million copies. Among his best-known books is The Carpetbaggers. It was loosely based on the life of Howard Hughes, taking the reader from New York to California, from the prosperity of the aeronautical industry to the glamour of Hollywood. Its sequel, The Raiders, appeared in 1995. Robbins was married five times. From 1982 he was obliged to use a wheelchair because of hip trouble, but continued writing. He spent a great deal of time on the French Riviera and Monte Carlo until his death on October 14, 1997 from respiratory heart failure at the age of 81. He is buried in the Palm Springs Mortuary & Mausoleum in Palm Springs, California. Harold Robbins has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6743 Hollywood Boulevard.
