The Dead Look On

The tragedy of Lidice (called Dudicks, here) is the factual background for this story of the infamous World War Two atrocity. In harsh detail, Gerald Kersh's grim, lucid novel of the infamous German atrocity reconstructs the revenge inflicted upon a whole village for the death of one German soldier.
The factual background:
Lidice is a village in the Czech Republic just northwest of Prague. It was on orders from Adolf Hitler and Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, completely destroyed by German forces in reprisal for the assassination of Reich Protector Reinhard Heydrich in the late spring of 1942. On 10 June 1942, all 173 men over 16 years of age from the village were executed. Another 11 men who were not in the village were arrested and executed soon afterwards along with several others already under arrest. Several hundred women and over 100 children were deported to concentration camps; a few children considered racially suitable for Germanisation were handed over to SS families and the rest were sent to the Chełmno extermination camp where they were gassed to death. After the war ended, only 153 women and 17 children returned.

The Secret Masters

High adventure on a global scale, a study of absolute power in the hands of a self-centered few, a frighteningly simple scientific theory that threatened the Earth — these are some of the elements in Mr. Kersh's dazzling new novel, a story of two men who followed a sinsiter trail that began in an insane asylum in Pennsylvania, wound through England, and ended in a secret city in the Canadian wilderness where fourteen men laid plans for control of the Earth.

Faces in a Dusty Picture

Mr. Mann stands outside the Hotel Bristol, gently ruminant, a man of books, mature yet virginal, heavy with the fruits of other mens’ experience; mildly astonished like an artificially-inseminated cow. He looks up and down the large, long street, observing the hard white light and hard black shadows. This, he feels, might be a gracious and pleasant place, if it were not simmering like a pot with unrest. The people who are walking seem, to Mr. Mann, to be in a little too much of a hurry, while those who are standing still are not sufficiently relaxed. It is as if somebody has told them to stand at ease: they might be waiting for a warning roar and an ear-splitting bark, at which they must leap to attention and get ready to move to the right or to the left…or God help them...

Men Without Bones

Venture into this alarmingly convincing world, meet the horse whose stubbornness changed history, or the man damned to everlasting love, or the murderer who confessed... and confessed... and confessed. Learn, too the secret of the Mona Lisa's smile, or what really happened to Ambrose Bierce. And ponder, if you can, the case of Simple Simon, who lost the only important thing he had--and never even missed it. Lean back, relax, take a long look at the world of Kersh. You may never recover.
