New York: E.P. Dutton & CP., iNC., 1973. 206 Pages. Red boards with black spine lettering. No defects noted and interior text pages are flawless. Everyone is in business to make a profit. Right? Wrong, says Graham Cleverley in this witty, trenchant look at today's business executives. Although they lie to picture themselves as rational and objective, they are, in actuality, brothers under the skin to the most superstitious tribesmen. By showing through numerous examples how the business world really works, Graham Cleverley puts management culture in an entirely new light. Contents: Preface, Introduction, Magic at Large, The Worshipers, The Priests, The Sorcerers, Fertility Rites, Controlling the Elements, Rites of Passage, Funerary Rites, Taboos, Sexual Taboos, Saturnalia, Sacrae Personae, Demigods and Heroes, The Fisher-King, and Conclusion. . First Edition Stated. Hard Back. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. 6 1/4" x 9 1/2"., E.P. Dutton & CP., iNC., 1973, 3, London: Quercus, 2011. FIRST EDITION . Soft cover. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Synopsis: On 10 May 1941 Rudolph Hess, then the Deputy Fuhrer, parachuted over Renfrewshire in Scotland on a mission to meet with the Duke of Hamilton, ostensibly to broker a peace deal with the British government. After being held in the Tower of London, he was transferred to Mytchett Place near Aldershot on 20 May, under the codename of 'Z'. The house was fitted with microphones and sound recording equipment, guarded by a battalion of soldiers and codenamed Camp Z. Churchill's instructions were that Hess should be strictly isolated, and that every effort should be taken to get any information out of him that might be useful. During the ensuing thirteen months a psychological battle was waged between intelligence officers using the new Freudian techniques of 'dynamic psychologies', and the man who had been a heartbeat away from Hitler. Stephen McGinty uses new documentation, contemporaneous reports, diaries, letters and memos to piece together a riveting account of the claustrophobia, paranoia and high-stakes gamesmanship being played out in an English country house. CAMP Z is a 'locked room mystery' where the 'locked room' is a man's head, and information which could help change the course of the Second World War lies inside a mind which no one can decide, with any degree of confidence, is either sane or insane. Hess was given a life sentence at the Nuremberg Trials, and from 1966 to his death in 1987 he was the sole remaining prisoner of Spandau Prison. About the Author: Stephen McGinty is an award-winning journalist with The Scotsman newspaper. He has also worked for the Sunday Times in London and the Glasgow Herald. His first book, This Turbulent Priest (2003) was described by the Daily Telegraph as 'The year's most unlikely page-turner'. His also the author of Churchill's Cigar (2007) and Fire In The Night: The Piper Alpha Disaster (2008)., Quercus, 2011, 4<
