In den 1940er- und 1950er-Jahren gehörte Erwin Blumenfeld (1897–1969) zu den gefragtesten Modefotografen der Welt. Weit weniger bekannt ist das Frühwerk des in Berlin aufgewachsenen Künstlers jüdischer Herkunft: die wundervollen, oft von beißendem Humor geprägten Dada-Montagen, die zwischen 1916 und 1933 entstanden.
Das Buch von Helen Adkins, einer ausgewiesenen Kennerin der Berliner Dada-Bewegung, widmet sich erstmals umfassend diesen frühen Papierarbeiten, die der Künstler nicht für die Öffentlichkeit schuf, sondern nur als persönliches Geschenk oder (Liebes-)Briefbeilage an seine Verlobte, an Freunde und Bekannte aus der Hand gab. Die rund 100 Blätter – unter ihnen zahlreiche bisher unveröffentlichte Montagen, die die Autorin im Familienarchiv des Künstlers sowie in weiteren öffentlichen und privaten Sammlungen ausfindig gemacht hat – werden im Kontext der Biografie Blumenfelds, seiner zeitgleich entstandenen Fotografien, Zeichnungen und dem literarischen Werk eingehend betrachtet. (Englische Ausgabe ISBN 978-3-7757-2127-1)

It's How Wars End That Become Important Afterward
Format: Paperback
The twentiety century taught us a lot about wars and how they end. World War I showed us that making strong demands on the defeated (who didn't admit defeat to their own people) set the stage for the next big war. World War II was fought until the Unconditional Surrender of the Germans and Japanese. Something that thinkers still debate as having made them fight all that harder. VietNam was fought with no clear end in sight, and "another VietNam" entered our language. The first Gulf War was ended when Colin Powell and Bush II debated how to end the war. They stopped before they had to go in and see what the Sunni's, Shiite's and Kurds made of the power vacuum left by the removal of Saddam would have created. Bush II is learning about this now. This is the second revised edition of this book, originally published in 1971 and then updated in 1991 and now 2005 to reflect happenings in new wars. Still some of the old wars had interesting insights that I didn't know before, such as how Finland, originally on Germany's side against Russia, made a peace with Russia and kicked the Germans out before they became a Russian province. Great Book.

Complementary readings
Format: Paperback
There are already three good reviews so I will only suggest reading the following books instead of, or in addition to, this peculiar work: a) "War in human civilization" by Azar Gat; b) "War before Civilization. The Myth of the Peaceful Savage", by Lawrence Keeley; c) "How War Began" by Keith F. Otterbein; d) "War and Peace and War: The Rise and Fall of Empires" by Peter Turchin; and e) "War and the Law of Nations: A General History" by Stephen Neff.
