As recently as October 1970, the Republic of Guinea charged before the United Nations General Assembly that white mercenaries and nationless Africans were being trained in Guinea-Bissau for an attack.

A delightfully idiosyncratic history of classic dance by the co-founder and general director of the New York City Ballet. It minutely and wisely analyzes 50 landmark ballets, from Balthasar de Beau-joyeulx to George Balanchine. Kirstein's prose is suave and evocative.
