George W. Bush: In the Whirlwind

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionGeorge W. Bush: In the Whirlwind examines the beginning and early years of the Presidency of the 43rd President of the United States. New author Bryan LaBerge provides a mix of political savvy with an outside Washington DC common man perspective. In the Whirlwind explores a broad range of events and political topics that run the span of years from the 2000 Republican primary election through the mid-term elections of 2002. Some think of Bush as not up to the task. Some believe him tobe a product of the September 11 attacks. Still others think him an illegitimate President. In the Whirlwind takes these issues head on and answers them from a political outsider`s perspective. Unlike many current books about George W. Bush, In the Whirlwind looks at the whole presidency of George W. Bush and not just one defining moment. The book provides the reader a big picture historical viewpoint that will leave them wanting more. [detailed...]

George W. Bush: Portrait of a Leader

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The essence of the presidency is often captured in small moments: a bullhorn clasped in one hand as the other encircles a retired fireman, a fallen policeman`s badge, given by a grieving mother, that becomes the symbol of `lives that ended and a task that does not end,` a handshake between the leaders of Britain and the United States, whose shared resolve toppled a threat to world peace and liberated the people of Iraq. This book is a collection of those moments, captured by the White House photographers, whose work provides an intimate, behind-the-scenes account of the Bush presidency. Other features: Over 100 photos Introduction by Karen Hughes Select quotes from George W. Bush A reprinting of Bush`s 2005 inaugural address [detailed...]

James A. Crutchfield
George Washington: First in War, First in Peace (American Heroes)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Washington’s rise from anonymity as a minor land-owner and surveyor to become America’s first national hero is recreated by veteran historical writer James Crutchfield. The author draws a vivid picture of a man with no military training who led the 13 fledgling colonies through five years of grueling war against formidable British forces, steered the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, and served two terms as the first president of the United States. Washington’s accomplishments were so stunning and he was so revered that by the end of the war some of his generals urged him to install himself as king, an idea he looked upon with `abhorrence,` calling the very thought `painful.` Nor would he consider standing for a third term as president. In this revealing book, James Crutchfield pictures Washington as an enigmatic man whose outward commonness concealed a quick, analytic mind, capable of learning from mistakes, gauging his successes not on winning battles but… [detailed...]

George Washington`s War on Native America (Native America: Yesterday &, Today)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Revolutionary War is ordinarily presented as a conflict exclusively between colonists and the British, fought along the northern Atlantic seacoast. George Washington’s War on Native America recounts the tragic events on the forgotten western front of the American Revolution—a war fought against and ultimately won by Native America. Although history texts often erroneously present the Natives, primarily the Iroquois League and the Ohio Union, as “allies” (or lackeys) of the British, Native America was in fact working from its own agenda: to prevent settlers from invading the Old Northwest. Throughout the war, the unwavering goal of the Revolutionary Army, under George Washington, and its associated settler militias was to break the power of the Iroquois League, which had successfully held off invasion for the preceding two centuries, and the newly formed Ohio Union. To destroy the Natives who stood in the way of land seizure, Washington authorized a series of rampages intended to… [detailed...]

George Elliott Clarke
George and Rue

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: It was a `slug-ugly` crime. Brothers George and Rufus Hamilton, in a robbery gone wrong, drunkenly bludgeoned a taxi driver to death with a hammer. It was 1949, and the two siblings, part Mi`kmaq and part African, were both hanged for the killing.A Those facts are skeletons in George Elliott Clarke`s family closet. Both repelled and intrigued by his ancestral cousins` deeds, which he learned about from his mother shortly before her death, poet, playwright and screenwriter Clarke set out to discover just what kind of forces would reduce men to crime, violence and, ultimately, murder. His findings took shape in the 2001 Governor General`s Award-winning Execution Poems and culminates brilliantly in George and Rue. The novel shifts seamlessly back into the killers` pasts, recounting a bleak and sometimes comic tale of victims of violence who became killers, a black community too poor and too shamed to assist its downtrodden members, and a white community bent on… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description1926. The author attempts to dispel the inaccuracies and fallacies surrounding the life of this King, who was considered by many previous authors to be a `bad King.` Whatever his private faults and public mistakes, George IV never possessed the Satanic genius to be a consistent rogue and reveler, nor did he wreck the State committed to him. A king must be judged by his kingdom, and during his reign George IV rebuilt Windsor castle, summoned Brighton out of the sands and capitalized Londonamong Capitols. A great work telling the story of this King as it should be told. [detailed...]
