  The War of the Jewels
The War of the Jewels is volume eleven in the twelve-volume History of Middle Earth.
The War of the Jewels continues with the Quenta Silmarillion with the coming of men and continues through the “Wars of the Jewels” as Tolkien called them…the trials and eventual downfall of the Noldor in their wars against Morgoth.
The last part of The War of the Jewels is a long essay Tolkien wrote concerning the languages of the elves, and will be of especial interest to those who study Tolkien’s created languages.

The wars of the First Age between the Noldor and their allies, the Sindar and Edain, against the forces of Morgoth in Angband.
The Wars were reckoned to have started with the First Battle, fought between Morgoth and the Elves of Beleriand before the Noldor had returned to Middle-earth.

In The War of the Jewels, the story returns to Middle-earth and the ruinous conflict of the High Elves and the Men who were their allies with the power of the Dark Lord.
A chief element in The War of the Jewels is a major story of Middle-earth, now published for the first time - a continuation of the great "saga" of Turin Turambar and his sister Nienor, the children of Hurin the Steadfast.
The War of the Jewels is one of the most misunderstood and underrated volumes in the History of Middle-earth series.

He saw a number of his fellow servicemen, as well as several of hisclosest friends, lose their lives, and he himself ended up in a military hospital suffering from trench fever.
Scholars of his work say that the war influenced his writings; that he saw fantasy as a way to escape from the harshreality of factories, machines, guns and bombs of the 20th century.
In 1920 he took up a post as Reader in English language at the University of Leeds, but in 1925 he returned to Oxford as a Professor of Anglo-Saxon.

 The CIA's Family Jewels
The Central Intelligence Agency has promised to deliver the long-secret "family jewels" report to the Archive within the hour.
In the meantime, the Archive has posted the original memorandum, signed by then-CIA director James R. Schlesinger, ordering the "family jewels" study and calling on CIA employees to report to him any activities "which might be construed to be outside the legislative charter of this Agency."
Then-CIA director Schlesinger commissioned the "family jewels" compilation with a May 9, 1973 directive after finding out that Watergate burglars E. Howard Hunt and James McCord (both veteran CIA officers) had cooperation from the Agency as they carried out "dirty tricks" for President Nixon.
