The Revolt: Story of the Irgun
Menachem Begin - 1951
In Israel, the organization is commonly called Etzel, based on its Hebrew acronym. The book traces the development of the Irgun from its early days in the 1930s, through its years of violent struggle in the Palestine Mandate against both British rule (the "revolt" of the title) and Arab opposition, to the outbreak of the Israeli War of Independence in 1948. The book is also part autobiographical, tracing Begin's own political development. First published in English in 1951 by W. H. Allen.
Come in Spinner

Their romances are futher complicated by the tension of war, with American troops in occupation and where anything could be obtained for a price.
Magic of Food
Scott Cunningham - 1951
This is Food Magic, and it's served up here in spoonfuls of lore and fact that make trying it as much fun as eating. You'll see mushrooms in a clearer light after experiencing their intuitive-raising effects, and a munch of celery will resonate with new meaning as it boosts both sexual desire and psychic awareness.
The Mechanical Bride: Folklore of Industrial Man
Marshall McLuhan - 1951
It shows how sex was first used to sell industrial hardware, how Orphan Annie still keeps the world on track, and how an Arabian Nights wonderland of mass entertainment and suggestion makes information irrelevant, and sends us to bed at night too dazed to question whether we're happy or not. We live in an age in which legions of highly educated professionals dedicate themselves to the task of getting inside the collective public mind with the object of manipulating, exploiting and controlling.
The Unfinished Autobiography
Alice A. Bailey - 1951
Shows the stages in the author's journey from Christian evangelism to mastery of the science of esotericism and her work as an author, lecturer and teacher.
When the Time Comes
Maurice Blanchot - 1951
As in all of Blanchot's intensely subjective fiction, the true subject of the work is the narrator's consciousness and the process by which his tale emerges through its telling. Powerfully affected by the slightest of events, the narrator responds with a violence that, most disturbingly, appears inevitable.
