Lem became an adored member of the extended Kennedy clan and loomed large in the lives of the children of the martyred Jack and Bobby. Billings also became a much-sought-after source, courted by dozens of Kennedy biographers until his death in 1981 a devotee to the end and somehow incomplete as an individual separate from Jack. Gore Vidal, no friend of Lem's, belittled him, saying, \"He's the guy who carries the coat.... He's the guy who runs errands....

Filled with a burning conviction that his destiny was bound up with the medieval kings of Spain and God Himself, he appeared shy, withdrawn, and humble.

We live today, John A. Farrell shows, in a world Richard Nixon made.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At the end of WWII, navy lieutenant “Nick” Nixon returned from the Pacific and set his cap at Congress, an idealistic dreamer seeking to build a better world. Yet amid the turns of that now-legendary 1946 campaign, Nixon’s finer attributes gave way to unapologetic ruthlessness. The story of that transformation is the stunning overture to John A. Farrell’s magisterial biography of the president who came to embody postwar American resentment and division.\u003cbr\u003e     Within four years of his first victory, Nixon was a U.S. senator; in six, the vice president of the United States of America. “Few came so far, so fast, and so alone,” Farrell writes. Nixon’s sins as a candidate were legion; and in one unlawful secret plot, as Farrell reveals here, Nixon acted to prolong the Vietnam War for his own political purposes. Finally elected president in 1969, Nixon packed his staff with bright young men who devised forward-thinking reforms addressing health care, welfare, civil rights, and protection of the environment. It was a fine legacy, but Nixon cared little for it. He aspired to make his mark on the world stage instead, and his 1972 opening to China was the first great crack in the Cold War.\u003cbr\u003e     Nixon had another legacy, too: an America divided and polarized. He was elected to end the war in Vietnam, but his bombing of Cambodia and Laos enraged the antiwar movement. It was Nixon who launched the McCarthy era, who played white against black with a “southern strategy,” and spurred the Silent Majority to despise and distrust the country’s elites. Ever insecure and increasingly paranoid, he persuaded Americans to gnaw, as he did, on grievances—and to look at one another as enemies. Finally, in August 1974, after two years of the mesmerizing intrigue and scandal of Watergate, Nixon became the only president to resign in disgrace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e     Richard Nixon\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping and unsparing portrayal of our darkest president.

Through the decade 1993 to 2003 we watch as he wins three majority elections as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. Finding the country in a dreadful state, dangerously in debt and bitterly divided, he describes how his government wiped out the deficit in just four years, helped to defeat the separatists in the cliffhanger Quebec referendum, passed the \u003ci\u003eClarity Act\u003c\/i\u003e, and set out to fulfill the economic and social promises his party made in its famous Red Books. He reveals how and why he kept the country out of the war in Iraq – a defining moment for many Canadians; led Team Canada on whirlwind trade missions around the world; and participated in a host of major international summits.\u003cbr\u003eAlong with his astute comments on politics and government, he gives candid portraits of a broad cast of characters. Over a beer, Tony Blair confides his hesitation about taking Britain into the Iraq War; in the corridors of the United Nations, Bill Clinton offers to speak to Quebecers on behalf of Canadian unity; while at home, Chrétien reveals the events leading up to the departure of his finance minister, Paul Martin. He recounts the dramatic night in which his quick-thinking wife, Aline, saved him from an assassination attempt at 24 Sussex Drive; and, with lively humour, he describes how he and Clinton successfully escaped from their own bodyguards – to the consternation of all.\u003cbr\u003eEven in the highest office in the land, Jean Chrétien never lost his connection with ordinary Canadians.

Historian Goodwin Illuminates Lincoln's Political Genius, As The One-term Congressman Rises From Obscurity To Prevail Over Three Gifted Rivals To Become President. When Lincoln Emerged As The Victor At The Republican National Convention, His Rivals Were Dismayed. Throughout The Turbulent 1850s, Each Had Energetically Sought The Presidency As The Conflict Over Slavery Led Inexorably To Civil War. That Lincoln Succeeded, Goodwin Demonstrates, Was Because Of His Extraordinary Ability To Put Himself In The Place Of Other Men, To Experience What They Were Feeling, To Understand Their Motives And Desires. It Was This That Enabled Lincoln To Bring His Disgruntled Opponents Together, Create The Most Unusual Cabinet In History, And Marshal Their Talents To The Task Of Preserving The Union.

As he and Lisa McCubbin, his coauthor on three previous books, pry it open for the first time in fifty years, they find forgotten photos, handwritten notes, personal gifts, and treasured mementos from the trips on which Hill accompanied First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy as her Secret Service agent—trips that took them from Paris to London, through India, Pakistan, Greece, Morocco, Mexico, South America, and “three glorious weeks on the Amalfi Coast.” During these journeys, Jacqueline Kennedy became one of her husband’s—and America’s—greatest assets; in Hill’s words and the opinion of many others, “one of the best ambassadors the United States has ever had.”\\\u003cbr\u003eAs each newfound treasure sparks long-suppressed memories, Hill provides new insight into the intensely private woman he always called “Mrs. Kennedy” and who always called him “Mr. Hill.” For the first time, he reveals the depth of the relationship that developed between them as they traveled around the globe. Now ninety years old, Hill recounts the tender moments, the private laughs, the wild adventures, and the deep affection he shared with one of the world’s most beautiful and iconic women—and these memories are brought vividly to life alongside more than two hundred rare photographs, many of them previously unpublished.\\\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the humorous stories and intimate moments, Hill reveals startling details about how traveling helped them both heal during the excruciating weeks and months following the assassination of President John F.

The Last President To Serve As A Living Link Between The Nineteenth And The Twentieth Centuries, Truman's Story Spans The Raw World Of The Missouri Frontier, World War I, The Powerful Pendergast Machine Of Kansas City, The Legendary Whistle-stop Campaign Of 1948, And The Decisions To Drop The Atomic Bomb, Confront Stalin At Potsdam, Send Troops To Korea, And Fire General Macarthur.

Forces To Korea And Upheld The Principle Of Civilian Control Over The Military By Firing Gen. Douglas Macarthur. Mccullough ( Mornings On Horseback ) Has Written A Surefooted, Highly Satisfying Biography Of The 33rd President, One That Not Only Conveys In Rich Detail Truman's Accomplishments As A Politician And Statesman, But Also Reveals The Character And Personality Of This Constantly-surprising Man--as Schoolboy, Farmer, Soldier, Merchant, County Judge, Senator, Vice President And Chief Executive. The Book Relates How Truman (1884-1972) Overcame The Stigma Of Business Failure And Debt (as Well As The Accusation That He Was ``bellboy'' To Kansas City's Pendergast Machine) And Acquired A Reputation For Honesty, Reliability And Common Sense. Mccullough Pays Considerable Attention To Truman's Family, Especially His Fervent And Touching Courtship Of Bess Wallace, The Idolized Love Of His Life. Her Mother Never Felt Truman Was Good Enough For Her Daughter, Even After He Became President. The Book's Re-creation Of The 1948 Presidential Campaign, During Which Newsweek 's Poll Of 50 Political Writers Predicted That The Incumbent Would Lose The Election To Thomas Dewey, Is The Most Complete Account Of That Surprise Victory To Date. The Book Is An Impressive Tribute To A Man Whose Brisk Cheerfulness And Self-confidence Were Combined With A God-fearing Humility; A Great And Good Man Who, In Mccullough's Opinion, Was A Great President.

Joseph Ellis' 1993 biography of Adams began the process of demonstrating how much we owe to this most extraordinary of our founding fathers. McCullough completes the rescue of our second President from the comparative obscurity to which the far better known lives of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin had seemingly condemned him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdams, a Massachusetts farmer and lawyer, was a proud descendant of the Puritans and outdid some of them in his rigid rectitude. He had a towering intellect, refined and toned by his Harvard education. He scorned those of lesser intellect and some who simply disagreed with his firmly held opinions. Anyone subjected to his disdain was not likely to forget it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdams worked endlessly for causes he believed in, especially personal liberty and freedom fromoppression. He was unwilling to compromise in the least on anything remotely resembling a matter of principle. But these character-istics enabled him and his sometimes irritated colleagues (no mean intellects themselves) to work together to produce our democracy. We probably would never have taken the extreme step of severing relations with Great Britain without Adams' relentless pursuit of what he saw as necessary to secure our freedom and our future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of the finest chapters are those involving Adams' responsibilities representing the Colonies' interests in France, which led to France's committing troops to our Revolution. In all this Adams was far more than aided by his extraordinary wife, Abigail. Almost a dual biography, this book includes perhaps the first full appreciation of how much Abigail contributed to the Revolution and our nation's birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe summer was also enlivened by a controversial little book, \u003ci\u003eThe Jefferson-Hemings Myth: An American Travesty\u003c\/i\u003e (Thomas Jefferson Heritage Society, $11.95).

Readers may recall my unbounded admiration for James Webb, one of our finest war novelists since Stephen Crane. It is a pleasure to re-port that \u003ci\u003eWebb's Lost Soldiers\u003c\/i\u003e (Bantam Books, $25) is fully up to his high standards--taut with skillfully nar-rated realism. It is a tale of the search for two American traitors who caused the death of Marines in a remote outpost in Vietnam. No one else has ever conveyed better the dangers, risks and horrors of our war in Vietnam. Once again we see and live through the misery, terror and hardship of infantry fighting in that strange land--a land that Webb has clearly come to love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeath in Holy Orders\u003c\/i\u003e, by P.D. James (Knopf, $25), is the latest of the Adam Dalgliesh mysteries. An ordinand's death at a small theological college leads into a tale of multiple murders and horribly sacrilegious acts, along with the familiar descriptions and character studies that distinguish all of Baroness James' works. This is a most reward-ing and skillfully constructedexample of the classic mystery as told by a master of the art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the nicest short books I've read in a long time is \u003ci\u003eGirl With a Pearl Earring\u003c\/i\u003e, by Tracy Chevalier (Plume, $12). This is the tale of painter Johannes Vermeer and his tumultuous household in 1660s Holland. But it is also the story of his 16-year-old housemaid and model, Griet, who sat for the glorious portrait \"Girl With a Pearl Ear-ring.\" This is a most delightful lesson in art history, as well as a study in vivid contrasts between Vermeer's life and that of his most famous model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnited States\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eRevolution \u0026amp; Founding\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":45262431748286,"sku":"0743223136-4","price":17.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/91xIYa-iSyL.jpg?v=1754094085"},{"product_id":"0553053019-an_outdoor_journal_adventures_and_reflections","title":"An Outdoor Journal: Adventures and Reflections","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eJimmy Carter.

Volume One takes us from his birth in 1919 to his election as leader in 1968.\u003cbr\u003eBorn into a wealthy family in Montreal, Trudeau excelled at the best schools, graduating as a lawyer with conservative, nationalist and traditional Catholic views. But always conscious of his French-English heritage, desperate to know the outside world, and an adventurer to boot, he embarked on a pilgrimage of discovery – first to Harvard and the Sorbonne, then to the London School of Economics and, finally, on a trip through Europe, the Middle East, India and China. He was a changed man when he returned – socialist in his politics, sympathetic to labour, a friend to activists and writers in radical causes. Suddenly and surprisingly, he went to Ottawa for two mostly unhappy years as a public servant in the Privy Council Office. He frequently shocked his colleagues when, on the brink of a Quebec election, for example, he departed for New York or Europe on an extended tour. Yet in the 1950s and 60s, he wrote the most important articles outlining his political philosophy.\u003cbr\u003eAnd there were the remarkable relationships with friends, women and especially his mother (whom he lived with until he was middle-aged). He wrote to them always, exchanging ideas with the men, intimacies with the women, especially in these early years, and lively descriptions of his life. He even recorded his in-depth psychoanalysis in Paris. This personal side of Trudeau has never been revealed before – and it sheds light on the politician and statesman he became.\u003cbr\u003eVolume One ends with his entry into politics, his appointment as Minister of Justice, his meeting Margaret and his election as leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister of Canada. There, his genius and charisma, his ambition and intellectual prowess, his ruthlessness and emotional character and his deliberate shaping of himself for leadership played out on the national stage and, when Lester B. Pearson announced his retirement as prime minister in 1968, there was but one obvious man for the job: Pierre Trudeau.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn 1938 Trudeau began a diary, which he continued for over two years. It is detailed, frank, and extraordinarily revealing. It is the only diary in Trudeau’s papers, apart from less personal travel diaries and an agenda for 1937 that contains some commentary. His diary expresses Trudeau’s own need to chronicle the moments of late adolescence as he tried to find his identity. It begins on New Year’s Day 1938 with the intriguing advice: “If you want to know my thoughts, read between the lines!”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e–from \u003cb\u003eCitizen of the World\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistory\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmericas\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eCanada\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Vintage Canada","offers":[{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":46670687404222,"sku":"0676975224-5","price":16.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/5142khMXcwL._SL500.jpg?v=1754101073"},{"product_id":"0805093079-killing_lincoln_the_shocking_assassination_that_changed_america_bill_o_reillys_killing","title":"Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA riveting historical narrative of the heart-stopping events surrounding the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and the first work of history from mega-bestselling author Bill O'Reilly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anchor of \u003ci\u003eThe O'Reilly Factor\u003c\/i\u003e recounts one of the most dramatic stories in American history—how one gunshot changed the country forever.

In November 2014, Thirteen Members Of The Biden Family Gathered On Nantucket For Thanksgiving, A Tradition They Had Been Celebrating For The Past Forty Years; It Was The One Constant In What Had Become A Hectic, Scrutinized, And Overscheduled Life. The Thanksgiving Holiday Was A Much-needed Respite, A Time To Connect, A Time To Reflect On What The Year Had Brought, And What The Future Might Hold. But This Year Felt Different From All Those That Had Come Before. Joe And Jill Biden's Eldest Son, Beau, Had Been Diagnosed With A Malignant Brain Tumor Fifteen Months Earlier, And His Survival Was Uncertain. Promise Me, Dad, Beau Had Told His Father. Give Me Your Word That No Matter What Happens, You’re Going To Be All Right. Joe Biden Gave Him His Word. Promise Me, Dad Chronicles The Year That Followed, Which Would Be The Most Momentous And Challenging In Joe Biden’s Extraordinary Life And Career. Vice President Biden Traveled More Than A Hundred Thousand Miles That Year, Across The World, Dealing With Crises In Ukraine, Central America, And Iraq. When A Call Came From New York, Or Capitol Hill, Or Kyiv, Or Baghdad—“joe, I Need Your Help”—he Responded. For Twelve Months, While Beau Fought For And Then Lost His Life, The Vice President Balanced The Twin Imperatives Of Living Up To His Responsibilities To His Country And His Responsibilities To His Family. And Never Far Away Was The Insistent And Urgent Question Of Whether He Should Seek The Presidency In 2016. The Year Brought Real Triumph And Accomplishment, And Wrenching Pain. But Even In The Worst Times, Biden Was Able To Lean On The Strength Of His Long, Deep Bonds With His Family, On His Faith, And On His Deepening Friendship With The Man In The Oval Office, Barack Obama. Writing With Poignancy And Immediacy, Joe Biden Allows Readers To Feel The Urgency Of Each Moment, To Experience The Days When He Felt Unable To Move Forward As Well As The Days When He Felt Like He Could Not Afford To Stop. This Is A Book Written Not Just By The Vice President, But By A Father, Grandfather, Friend, And Husband.

The relationship begins in Indiana, when Pence sees how Trump connects with working-class voters. After the election, the vice president comes to appreciate how Trump maintains that connection through unvarnished tweets and how his unorthodox style led to historic breakthroughs, from tax cuts to trade deals, from establishing the United States Space Force to the first new peace agreement in the Middle East in more than twenty-five years. This is the most robust defense of the Trump record of anyone who served in the administration.\u003cbr\u003e But it is also about the private moments when Pence pushed back forcefully, how he navigated through the Mueller investigation, his damage control after Charlottesville, and his work on healing racial rifts after the murder of George Floyd. Pence was at the forefront when \"history showed up\" in the form of a devastating pandemic, and he provides a detailed account of leading the task force that circumvented bureaucracies to slow the disease in its tracks. Yes, it sometimes involved brokering peace between a president with an itchy Twitter finger and an agitated New York governor, but above all, it meant giving states and America's eager entrepreneurs the power to come up with the solutions we needed. The result was the fastest development of life-saving vaccines in history.\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eSo Help Me God\u003c\/i\u003e, Pence shows how the faith that he embraced as a young man guided his every decision. It is a faith that guided him on that historic day and that keeps him happily at peace, ready to accept the next challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnited States\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eExecutive Branch\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Used - Poor","offer_id":45262760476862,"sku":"1982190337-6","price":14.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/81MDrZAEsRL.jpg?v=1754102488"},{"product_id":"1510764690-disloyal_a_memoir_the_true_story_of_the_former_personal_attorney_to_president_donald_j-_trump","title":"Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J.

The Inside Story Of The Real President Trump, By His Former Attorney And Personal Advisor—the Man Who Helped Get Him Into The Oval Office Once Donald Trump’s Fiercest Surrogate, Closest Confidant, And Staunchest Defender, Michael Cohen Knows Where The Skeletons Are Buried. This Is The Most Devastating Business And Political Horror Story Of The Century. As Trump’s Lawyer And “fixer,” Cohen Not Only Witnessed Firsthand But Was Also An Active Participant In The Inner Workings Of Trump’s Business Empire, Political Campaign, And Presidential Administration. This Is A Story That You Have Not Read In Newspapers, Or On Social Media, Or Watched On Television. These Are Accounts That Only Someone Who Worked For Trump Around The Clock For Over A Decade—not A Few Months Or Even A Couple Of Years—could Know. Cohen Describes Trump’s Racist Rants Against President Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, And Black And Hispanic People In General, As Well As The Cruelty, Humiliation, And Abuse He Leveled At Family And Staff. Whether He’s Exposing The Fact That Trump Engaged In Tax Fraud By Inflating His Wealth Or Electronic Fraud By Rigging An Online Survey, Or Outing Trump’s Neanderthal Views Towards Women Or His Hush-money Payments To Clandestine Lovers, Cohen Pulls No Punches. He Shows Trump’s Relentless Willingness To Lie, Exaggerate, Mislead, Or Manipulate. Trump Emerges As A Man Without A Soul—a Man Who Courts Evangelicals And Then Trashes Them, Panders To The Common Man, But Then Rips Off Small Business Owners, A Con Man Who Will Do Or Say Absolutely Anything To Win, Regardless Of The Cost To His Family, His Associates, Or His Country. At The Heart Of Disloyal, We See How Cohen Came Under The Spell Of His Charismatic Boss And, As A Result, Lost All Sense Of His Moral Compass.
