TRUMP launched the Most Extraordinary Political Movement in History, dethroning Political Dynasties, defeating the Washington Establishment, and becoming the first True Outsider elected as President of the United States. The Forgotten Men and Women of America were forgotten no more, because the U.S.A finally had a President who PUT AMERICA FIRST! Through his Pro-American Policies on Trade, Taxes, Energy, Regulation, Immigration, and Healthcare, President Trump ushered in a period of Unprecedented Economic Growth, Job Creation, Soaring Wages, and Booming Incomes. Median Household Income reached the Highest Level EVER Recorded. Middle Class Family Income increased more than five times from the previous Administration. Unemployment reached its Lowest Rate in Half a Century. African American, Hispanic American, and Asian American Unemployment reached their Lowest Levels Ever Recorded. President Trump boldly unleashed American Energy, and our Nation soon became the World's Number One Producer of Oil and Natural Gas in the World. Under President Trump, America led the World in reducing Carbon Emissions. As a Steward of our Natural Resources, President Trump signed The Great American Outdoors Act, the Most Significant Investment in our National Parks since Theodore Roosevelt. As President, Donald J. Trump was an unwavering Champion for our Nation's Heroes in Uniform. He always stood proudly with our Country's Extraordinary and Courageous Police Officers, Sheriffs, and Law Enforcement Professionals. He fought relentlessly for our Nation's Military Service Members, and invested Trillions of Dollars in the United States Armed Forces to ensure our Warriors had the Tools, Support, and Resources they need. He fundamentally reformed the Department of Veterans Affairs, ending the past Era of Scandal, and ensuring our Country's Treasured Veterans were given the Treatment and Care they have earned and deserve. Understanding that Border Security is National Security, President Trump achieved the Most Secure Border in United States History, and signed a series of Historic Agreements with our Partners in the Western Hemisphere to stop Smuggling, Trafficking, and Illegal Migration. He ended Systemic Asylum Fraud, reduced Refugee Admissions to the Lowest Levels, blocked the Entry of Terrorists and National Security Threats, and banned Unsafe Travel from Regions where Proper Screening and Vetting cannot occur. By restoring America's Prestige, and advancing a Policy of Principled Realism, President Trump forged Historic Peace Agreements in the Middle East, withdrew Troops from Endless Conflicts, confronted Oppressive Communist and Socialist Regimes, advanced Stability around the World, and strengthened the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and other International Alliances and Partnerships by getting other Nations to contribute their fair share. When the coronavirus plague arrived from China, afflicting every Nation around the Globe, Donald J. Trump acted early and decisively to ban Travel from China and Europe, which saved countless lives. He launched the Greatest National Industrial Mobilization since World War II, refilling our depleted Stockpiles of Medical Supplies, bringing our Critical Supply Chains back home, pioneering Life Saving Medical Treatments in Record Time, leveraging the Defense Production Act, mass producing and mass distributing masks, gowns, gloves, and other Protective Equipment, and delivering new Breakthrough Therapies into the hands of Hospitals, Doctors, and Patients. Whether it was combating the virus, fighting Foreign Terrorists, creating Jobs, securing America's Borders, unleashing American Energy, revitalizing American Patriotism, or restoring the American Spirit, President Trump never faltered in defense of our Values, our Families, our Traditions, and our Freedom.

The country was bitterly at odds; Southern extremists were moving ever closer to destroying the Union, with one state after another seceding and Lincoln powerless to stop them.

Drawing on diaries, original archival documents, and once-secret intelligence reports--some released only recently--Larson provides a new lens on London's darkest year through the day-to-day experience of Churchill and his family: his wife, Clementine; their youngest daughter, Mary, who chafes against her parents' wartime protectiveness; their son, Randolph, and his beautiful, unhappy wife, Pamela; Pamela's illicit lover, a dashing American emissary; and the advisers in Churchill's \"Secret Circle,\" to whom he turns in the hardest moments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Splendid and the Vile\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers out of today's political dysfunction and back to a time of true leadership, when, in the face of unrelenting horror, Churchill's eloquence, courage, and perseverance bound a country, and a family, together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erik Larson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crown Publishing Group (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385348737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eErik Larson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of six \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers, most recently \u003ci\u003eThe Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz, \u003c\/i\u003e which examines how Winston Churchill and his \"Secret Circle\" went about surviving the German air campaign of 1940-41.

Drawing on interviews with over one hundred of the fortieth president's aides, friends, and family members, as well as thousands of newly available documents, Boot provides \"the best biography of Ronald Reagan to date\" (Robert Mann).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The story begins not in star-studded Hollywood but in the cradle of the Midwest, small-town Illinois, where Reagan was born in 1911 to Nelle Clyde Wilson, a devoted Disciples of Christ believer, and Jack Reagan, a struggling, alcoholic salesman. Boot vividly creates a portrait of a handsome young man, indeed a much-vaunted lifeguard, whose early successes mirrored those of Horatio Alger. And contextualizing Reagan's life against American history, Boot re-creates the world in which Reagan transitioned from local Iowa sportscaster to budding screen actor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The world of Hollywood from the 1930s to the 1950s would prove significant, not only in Reagan's coming-of-age in such classics as \u003cem\u003eKnute Rockne\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKings Row\u003c\/em\u003e but during the twilight of his film career, when he played opposite a chimpanzee in \u003cem\u003eBedtime for Bonzo\u003c\/em\u003e, and then his eventual emergence as a television host of \u003cem\u003eGeneral Electric Theater\u003c\/em\u003e, which established his bona fides as one of the leading conservative voices of the time. Indeed, the leap to California governor in 1966 seemed almost preordained, in which Reagan became a bellwether for a nation in the throes of a generational shift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Reagan's 1980 presidential election augured a shift that continues into this century. Boot writes not as a partisan but as a historian seeking to set the story straight. He explains how Reagan was an ideologue but also a supreme pragmatist who signed pro-abortion and gun control bills as governor, cut deals with Democrats in both Sacramento and Washington, and befriended Mikhail Gorbachev to end the Cold War. A master communicator, Reagan revived America's spirits after the traumas of Vietnam and Watergate. But Boot also shows how Reagan was armored in obliviousness. He traces Reagan's opposition to civil rights over forty years, reveals how he neglected the exploding AIDS epidemic, and details how America experienced a level of income inequality not seen since the Gilded Age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With its revelatory insights, \u003cem\u003eReagan: His Life and Legend\u003c\/em\u003e is no apologia, depicting a man with a good-versus-evil worldview derived from his moralistic upbringing and Hollywood westerns.

And in telling the Moses story, Caro both opens up to an unprecedented degree the way in which politics really happens--the way things really get done in America's City Halls and Statehouses--and brings to light a bonanza of vital information about such national figures as Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt (and the genesis of their blood feud), about Fiorello La Guardia, John V. Lindsay and Nelson Rockefeller. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But\u003ci\u003e The Power Broker\u003c\/i\u003e is first and foremost a brilliant multidimensional portrait of a man--an extraordinary man who, denied power within the normal framework of the democratic process, stepped outside that framework to grasp power sufficient to shape a great city and to hold sway over the very texture of millions of lives. We see how Moses began: the handsome, intellectual young heir to the world of Our Crowd, an idealist. How, rebuffed by the entrenched political establishment, he fought for the power to accomplish his ideals. How he first created a miraculous flowering of parks and parkways, playlands and beaches--and then ultimately brought down on the city the smog-choked aridity of our urban landscape, the endless miles of (never sufficient) highway, the hopeless sprawl of Long Island, the massive failures of public housing, and countless other barriers to humane living. How, inevitably, the accumulation of power became an end in itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Moses built an empire and lived like an emperor. He was held in fear--his dossiers could disgorge the dark secret of anyone who opposed him. He was, he claimed, above politics, above deals; and through decade after decade, the newspapers and the public believed. Meanwhile, he was developing his public authorities into a fourth branch of government known as \"Triborough\"--a government whose records were closed to the public, whose policies and plans were decided not by voters or elected officials but solely by Moses--an immense economic force directing pressure on labor unions, on banks, on all the city's political and economic institutions, and on the press, and on the Church. He doled out millions of dollars' worth of legal fees, insurance commissions, lucrative contracts on the basis of who could best pay him back in the only coin he coveted: power. He dominated the politics and politicians of his time--without ever having been elected to any office. He was, in essence, above our democratic system. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Robert Moses held power in the state for 44 years, through the governorships of Smith, Roosevelt, Lehman, Dewey, Harriman and Rockefeller, and in the city for 34 years, through the mayoralties of La Guardia, O'Dwyer, Impellitteri, Wagner and Lindsay, He personally conceived and carried through public works costing 27 billion dollars--he was undoubtedly America's greatest builder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is how he built and dominated New York--before, finally, he was stripped of his reputation (by the press) and his power (by Nelson Rockefeller).

Now, drawing on more than thirty years of teaching and writing about Roman history, Beard turns to the emperors who ruled the Roman Empire, beginning with Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BCE) and taking us through the nearly three centuries--and some thirty emperors--that separate him from the boy-king Alexander Severus (assassinated 235 CE).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet \u003cem\u003eEmperor of Rome\u003c\/em\u003e is not your typical chronological account of Roman rulers, one emperor after another: the mad Caligula, the monster Nero, the philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Instead, Beard asks different, often larger and more probing questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained? What kind of jokes did Augustus tell? And for that matter, what really happened, for example, between the emperor Hadrian and his beloved Antinous? Effortlessly combining the epic with the quotidian, Beard tracks the emperor down at home, at the races, on his travels, even on his way to heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, Beard explores Roman fictions of imperial power, overturning many of the assumptions that we hold as gospel, not the least of them the perception that emperors one and all were orchestrators of extreme brutality and cruelty. Here Beard introduces us to the emperor's wives and lovers, rivals and slaves, court jesters and soldiers, and the ordinary people who pressed begging letters into his hand--whose chamber pot disputes were adjudicated by Augustus, and whose budgets were approved by Vespasian, himself the son of a tax collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its finely nuanced portrayal of sex, class, and politics, Emperor of Rome goes directly to the heart of Roman fantasies (and our own) about what it was to be Roman at its richest, most luxurious, most extreme, most powerful, and most deadly, offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Beard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324095606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeard, Mary:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eMary Beard\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of the best-selling \u003cem\u003eThe Fires of Vesuvius\u003c\/em\u003e and the National Book Critics Circle Award-nominated \u003cem\u003eConfronting the Classics\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSPQR\u003c\/em\u003e.

French about Africa's pivotal role in shaping world history, underscores Adam Hochschild's contention that French is a \"modern-day Copernicus.\" The title--referring to a brief period beginning in 1957 when dozens of African colonies gained their freedom--positions this liberation at the center of a \"movement of global Blackness,\" with one charismatic leader, Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1972), at its head.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e That so few people today know about Nkrumah is an omission that French demonstrates is \"typical of our deliberate neglect of Africa's enormous role in the birth of the modern world.\" Determined to re-create Nkrumah's life as \"an epic twentieth-century story,\" \u003cem\u003eThe Second Emancipation\u003c\/em\u003e begins with his impoverished, unheralded birth in the far-western region of Ghana's Gold Coast. But blessed with a deep curiosity, a young Nkrumah pursued an overseas education in the United States. Nowhere is French's consummate style more vivid than in Nkrumah's early years in Depression-era America, especially in his mesmerizing portrait of a culturally effervescent Harlem that Nkrumah encountered in 1935 before heading to college. During his student years in Pennsylvania and later as an activist in London, Nkrumah became steeped in a renowned international Black intellectual milieu--including Du Bois, Garvey, Fanon, Padmore, and C.L.R. James, who called him \"one of the greatest political leaders of our century\"--and formed an ideology that readied him for an extraordinarily swift and peaceful rise to power upon his return to Ghana in 1947.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Four years later, in a political landslide he engineered while imprisoned, Nkrumah stunned Britain by winning the first general election under universal franchise in Africa, becoming Ghana's first independent prime minister in 1957. As leader of a sovereign nation, Nkrumah wielded his influence to promote the liberation of the entire continent, pushing unity as the only pathway to recover from the damages of enslavement and subjugation. By the time national military and police forces, aided by the CIA, overthrew him in 1966, Nkrumah's radical belief in pan-African liberation had both galvanized dozens of nascent African states and fired a global agenda of Black power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In its dramatic recasting of the American civil rights story and in its tragic depiction of a continent that once exuded all the promise of a newly won freedom, \u003cem\u003eThe Second Emancipation\u003c\/em\u003e becomes a generational work that positions Africa at the forefront of modern-day history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard W.

Just days after leaving the White House, the call came to aid victims of a devastating earthquake in India, and Clinton hit the ground running.

Lincoln rebuked his friend for failing to oppose slavery. But he added: \"If for this you and I must differ, differ we must,\" and said they would be friends forever. Throughout his life and political career, Lincoln often agreed to disagree. Democracy demanded it, since even an adversary had a vote. The man who went on to become America's sixteenth president has assumed many roles in our historical consciousness, but most notable is that he was, unapologetically, a politician. And as Steve Inskeep argues, it was \u003ci\u003ebecause \u003c\/i\u003ehe was willing to engage in politics--meeting with critics, sometimes working with them and other times outwitting them--that he was able to lead a social revolution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDiffer We Must\u003c\/i\u003e, Inskeep illuminates Lincoln's life through sixteen encounters, some well-known, some obscure, but all imbued with new significance.

With rich detail and enlightening commentary, Inskeep expands our understanding of a politician who held strong to his moral compass while navigating between corrosive political factions, one who began his career in the minority party and not only won the majority but succeeded in uniting a nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Inskeep\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593297889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Inskeep \u003c\/b\u003eis a cohost of NPR's\u003ci\u003e Morning Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, the most widely heard radio program in the United States, and of NPR's \u003ci\u003eUp First\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the nation's most popular podcasts.

This \"northern journey\" came at a moment of tension for the new nation, one in whose founding these Virginians and political allies had played key roles. The Constitution was ratified and President Washington was in his first term of office. Whether the country could overcome regional and political differences and remain unified, however, was still very much in question. Hence why some observers at the time wondered whether this excursion into Federalist New England by the two most prominent southern Democratic-Republicans, both future presidents, had an ulterior motive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMadison, maintained that the journey was for \"health, recreation, and curiosity.\" He and Jefferson needed a break from their public responsibilities, so off they set. Along the way, they took notes on the ravages of the Hessian Fly, an insect that had been devastating wheat crops. While in Vermont, they focused on the sugar maple tree, which many hoped might offer a domestic alternative to slave-grown sugar cane imports. An encounter with a free Black farmer at Fort George resulted in a journal entry that illuminates their attitudes toward slavery and race. A meeting with members of the Unkechaug tribe on Long Island led to a vocabulary project that preoccupied Jefferson for decades, and which remains relevant today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Northern Journey was also about friendship. Madison later recalled that the trip made Jefferson and him \"immediate companions,\" solidifying a bond with almost no peer in the annals of American history, one that thrived for fifty years. Jefferson declared at the end of his life, that his friendship with Madison had been \"a source of constant happiness\" to him.

All too often he is caricatured as a chronic loser and an inept businessman, or as the triumphant but brutal Union general of the Civil War. But these stereotypes don't come close to capturing him, as Chernow shows in his masterful biography, the first to provide a complete understanding of the general and president whose fortunes rose and fell with dizzying speed and frequency. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Before the Civil War, Grant was flailing. His business ventures had ended dismally, and despite distinguished service in the Mexican War he ended up resigning from the army in disgrace amid recurring accusations of drunkenness. But in war, Grant began to realize his remarkable potential, soaring through the ranks of the Union army, prevailing at the battle of Shiloh and in the Vicksburg campaign, and ultimately defeating the legendary Confederate general Robert E. Lee. Along the way, Grant endeared himself to President Lincoln and became his most trusted general and the strategic genius of the war effort. Grant's military fame translated into a two-term presidency, but one plagued by corruption scandals involving his closest staff members. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e More important, he sought freedom and justice for black Americans, working to crush the Ku Klux Klan and earning the admiration of Frederick Douglass, who called him \"the vigilant, firm, impartial, and wise protector of my race.\" After his presidency, he was again brought low by a dashing young swindler on Wall Street, only to resuscitate his image by working with Mark Twain to publish his memoirs, which are recognized as a masterpiece of the genre. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With lucidity, breadth, and meticulousness, Chernow finds the threads that bind these disparate stories together, shedding new light on the man whom Walt Whitman described as \"nothing heroic... and yet the greatest hero.\" Chernow's probing portrait of Grant's lifelong struggle with alcoholism transforms our understanding of the man at the deepest level. This is America's greatest biographer, bringing movingly to life one of our finest but most underappreciated presidents. The definitive biography, \u003ci\u003eGrant\u003c\/i\u003e is a grand synthesis of painstaking research and literary brilliance that makes sense of all sides of Grant's life, explaining how this simple Midwesterner could at once be so ordinary and so extraordinary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNamed one of the best books of the year by Goodreads -\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eAmazon \u003ci\u003e- The New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e- Newsday\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e- \u003c\/i\u003eBookPage \u003ci\u003e- \u003c\/i\u003eBarnes and Noble \u003ci\u003e- Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ron Chernow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 2.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143110637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRon Chernow \u003c\/b\u003eis the prizewinning author of six previous books and the recipient of the 2015 National Humanities Medal.

Davis was a trained soldier and war hero; Lincoln a country lawyer who had only briefly served in the militia. Confronted with the most violent and challenging war ever seen on American soil, Lincoln seemed ill-suited to the task: inexperienced, indecisive, and a poor judge of people's motives, he allowed his administration's war policies to be sabotaged by fickle, faithless cabinet officials while entrusting command of his army to a preening young officer named George McClellan - whose defeat in battle left Washington, the nation's capital, at the mercy of General Robert E. Lee, Davis's star performer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The war almost ended there. But in a Shakespearean twist, Lincoln summoned the courage to make, at last, a climactic decision: issuing as a \"military necessity\" a proclamation freeing the 3.5 million enslaved Americans without whom the South could not feed or fund their armed insurrection. The new war policy doomed the rebellion--which was in dire need of support from Europe, none of whose governments now would dare to recognize rebel \"independence\" in a war openly fought over slavery.

Chronicling the startling early emergence of Johnson's political genius, it follows him from his Texas boyhood through the years of the Depression in the Texas hill Country to the triumph of his congressional debut in New Deal Washington, to his heartbreaking defeat in his first race for the Senate, and his attainment, nonetheless, of the national power for which he hungered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We see in him, from earliest childhood, a fierce, unquenchable necessity to be first, to win, to dominate--coupled with a limitless capacity for hard, unceasing labor in the service of his own ambition. Caro shows us the big, gangling, awkward young Lyndon--raised in one of the country's most desperately poor and isolated areas, his education mediocre at best, his pride stung by his father's slide into failure and financial ruin--lunging for success, moving inexorably toward that ultimate \"impossible\" goal that he sets for himself years before any friend or enemy suspects what it may be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We watch him, while still at college, instinctively (and ruthlessly) creating the beginnings of the political machine that was to serve him for three decades.

We see him carrying out, before his thirtieth year, his first great political inspiration: tapping-and becoming the political conduit for-the money and influence of the new oil men and contractors who were to grow with him to immense power. We follow, close up, the radical fluctuations of his relationships with the formidable \"Mr. Sam\" Raybum (who loved him like a son and whom he betrayed) and with FDR himself. And we follow the dramas of his emotional life-the intensities and complications of his relationships with his family, his contemporaries, his girls; his wooing and winning of the shy Lady Bird; his secret love affair, over many years, with the mistress of one of his most ardent and generous supporters . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Johnson driving his people to the point of exhausted tears, equally merciless with himself . . . Johnson bullying, cajoling, lying, yet inspiring an amazing loyalty . . . Johnson maneuvering to dethrone the unassailable old Jack Garner (then Vice President of the United States) as the New Deal's \"connection\" in Texas, and seize the power himself . . .

The country was bitterly at odds; Southern extremists were moving ever closer to destroying the Union, with one state after another seceding and Lincoln powerless to stop them. Slavery fueled the conflict, but somehow the passions of North and South came to focus on a lonely federal fortress in Charleston Harbor: Fort Sumter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaster storyteller Erik Larson offers a gripping account of the chaotic months between Lincoln's election and the Confederacy's shelling of Sumter--a period marked by tragic errors and miscommunications, enflamed egos and craven ambitions, personal tragedies and betrayals. Lincoln himself wrote that the trials of these five months were \"so great that, could I have anticipated them, I would not have believed it possible to survive them.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the heart of this suspense-filled narrative are Major Robert Anderson, Sumter's commander and a former slave owner sympathetic to the South but loyal to the Union; Edmund Ruffin, a vain and bloodthirsty radical who stirs secessionist ardor at every opportunity; and Mary Boykin Chesnut, wife of a prominent planter, conflicted over both marriage and slavery and seeing parallels between them. In the middle of it all is the overwhelmed Lincoln, battling with his duplicitous secretary of state, William Seward, as he tries desperately to avert a war that he fears is inevitable--one that will eventually kill 750,000 Americans. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on diaries, secret communiques, slave ledgers, and plantation records, Larson gives us a political horror story that captures the forces that led America to the brink--a dark reminder that we often don't see a cataclysm coming until it's too late.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erik Larson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Large Print Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.14w x 1.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593861837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eErik Larson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of six previous national bestsellers--\u003ci\u003eThe Splendid and the Vile, Dead Wake, In the Garden of Beasts, Thunderstruck, The Devil in the White City, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eIsaac's Storm\u003c\/i\u003e--which have collectively sold more than ten million copies.
