Fine condition.

Eliezer "Elie" Wiesel (September 30, 1928 – July 2, 2016) was a Romanian-born American writer, professor, political activist, Nobel laureate, and Holocaust survivor.

Moynihan served in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations as assistant secretary of labor until 1965. Following a failed bid for election to the New York City Council, Moynihan became director of the Harvard–MIT Joint Center for Urban Studies. Despite being a Democrat, he was selected by Republican President Richard Nixon to be his counselor on urban affairs, and in 1973, Moynihan was appointed U.S. ambassador to India, the world’s largest democracy, to smooth over the two countries’ sometimes uneasy relationship. Moynihan served as President Gerald Ford’s ambassador to the United Nations, where, in 1975, he spoke out against UN Resolution 3379 that declared Zionism a form of racism. Moynihan continued support of Israel while representing New York in the U. S. Senate, a position he held from 1977 to 2001.
