Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Colin Powell is the embodiment of the American dream. He was born in Harlem to immigrant parents from Jamaica. He knew the rough life the streets. He overcame a barely average start at school. Then he joined the Army. The rest is history--but a history that until now has been known only on the surface. Here, for the first time, he himself tells us how it happened, in a memoir distinguished by a heartfelt love of country and family, warm good humor, and a soldier's directness. He writes of the anxieties and missteps as well as the triumphs that marked his rise to four-star general, National Security Advisor, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, mastermind of Desert Storm, and now the man the country would most like to draft as President just as it drafted General Eisenhower before him in 1952. We see Powell growing up, getting into mischief, going to church with his father, working in a bottling plant, joining the ROTC. We follow him as a green young lieutenant on his first foreign posting in Germany, where his ascent is nearly aborted by a blunder on the day he is assigned to guard an atomic cannon. We go on patrol with him into the jungles of Vietnam, where he is wounded, and then, in the first surprise turn of his career, into the every-bit-as-dangerous thickets of Washington bureaucracy as a Pentagon aide in the Carter administration. We see how he handled the humiliations inflicted on him as a black soldier traveling in the Deep South and the unnerving challenges be faced as a battalion commander in Korea, where the army guarding the border with North Korea was plagued by drugs, drinking, a lack of discipline, and racial tension. We are edge-of-the-seat spectators to some of the great international dramas of our time--Desert Storm, the invasion of Panama, the dark dealings of Iran-contra with Ollie North and Bill Casey, the climatic meetings with Gorbachev. And we are present also at the encounters with President Clinton on the controversial question of gays in the military. Colin Powell, moving easily between the Army and high positions in both Republican and Democratic administrations has a unique perspective. As an active soldier, he has experienced the sharp end of political decisions in Washington. As an advice to three Presidents, he has seen how policy is shaped and he has shaped it himself. It was Powell whom President Reagan summoned to the White House to help National Security Advisor Frank Carlucci clean up the mess after the Iran-contra debacle. It was Powell whom President Clinton called back from private life to accompany forever President Carter on his eve-of-war mission to Haiti. Haiti was a consummation of Powell's translation from soldier to statement and popular leader. Not since Dwight Eisenhower has a figure in public life been held in such universal esteem or had so few negatives. Powell gives us behind-the-scenes portraits of Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, of Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf, and many others. This is a book of political excitement and disclosure, but it is much more. It is a life well lived and well told. It is also a view from the mountaintop of the political landscape of America. The book jacket shows some shelf wear. This is an oversized book and will require additional postage. Photo-insert design by Wynn Dan, Book design, Bernard Klein (illustrator).…

Includes List of Other Books by Gregg Jarrett; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Clarence Darrow, Scopes Trial, July 13, 1925; Preface: Discovering Darrow and the "Trial of the Century"; Epilogue: Speaking Freely and Unafraid; Acknowledgments; Notes and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "A gripping history of the battle between iconic attorney Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan in the famous Scopes Monkey Trial, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Russia Hoax. In 1925, high school substitute teacher John Scopes was arrested for teaching the science of evolution to his class in violation of Tennessee's Butler Act. The arrest attracted the attention of the ACLU and renowned liberal attorney Clarence Darrow, who agreed to defend the schoolteacher against three-time presidential candidate and ardent anti-evolution activist William Jennings Bryan. The trial that followed became the biggest legal blockbuster of a generation, catapulting the small town of Dayton, Tennessee, into the national spotlight and raising fundamental questions about science and religion in the public square, education, civil rights, and the ever-changing media landscape. Darrow's seminal defense of the freedom of speech helped form the legal bedrock on which our civil liberties depend today. Expertly researched, eye-opening, and stirring, The Trial of the Century calls upon our past to unite Americans in the defense of the free exchange of ideas, especially in this divided time." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New condition textured black boards with gold spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Edward Klein; Author Dedication; Introduction: An Ill-Fated House; A Chronicle of the Kennedy Curse; Epilogue: The Fall of the House of Kennedy; Acknowledgments; Sources and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "This book is a detective story. It is an investigation of one of the great mysteries of our time - the Kennedy Curse. It explores the underlying pattern that governs the curse and examines the many influences - historical, psychological, and genetic - that have shaped the Kennedys' character and led to their self-defeating behavior. The stories in this book illustrated how the Kennedy Curse began in the common Irish immigrant experience of poverty and humiliation, and developed into an obsessive lust for power and dominance over others at the expense of all ethical behavior. The people in this book were, for the most part, on a fatal collision course with reality. They felt immune to mortal laws and somehow divinely protected from the inevitable consequences of their deeds and misdeeds. In their hunger for unlimited power, they saw themselves as superior beings who resided above the common herd. They felt special - omnipotent and worthy of being worshiped. Our inclination to idolize the Kennedys has obscured their human attributes. And so, finally, this book is an attempt to demystify the Kennedys by telling the story of how the descendants of Patrick Kennedy, a poor Irish immigrant who came to the shores of the New World in 1849, pulled, tore, scratched, scraped, clutched, and clawed their way to the top of American society - and, in the process, made the fatal mistake of thinking of themselves as divine." - from The Kennedy Curse (and rear outer jacket). "Death was merciful to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, for it spared her a parent's worst nightmare: the loss of a child. But if Jackie had lived to see her son, JFK Jr., perish in a plane crash on his way to his cousin's wedding, she would have been doubly horrified by the familiar pattern in the tragedy. Once again, on a day that should have been full of joy and celebration, America's first family was struck by the Kennedy Curse. In this probing expose, renowned Kennedy biographer Edward Klein - a bestselling author and journalist personally acquainted with many members of the Kennedy family - unravles one of the great mysteries of our time and explains why the Kennedys have been subjected to such a mind-boggling chaine of calamities. Drawing upon scores of interviews with people who have never spoken out before, troves of private documents, archives in Ireland and America, and private conversations with Jackie, Klein explores the underlying pattern that governs the Kennedy Curse. The reader is treated to penetrating portraits of the Irish immigrant Patrick Kennedy: Rose Kennedy's father. "Honey Fitz"; the dynasty's founding father, Joe Kennedy, and his ill-fated daughter Kathleen; President Kennedy; accused rapist William Kennedy Smith; and the star-crossed lovers, JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette. Each of the seven profiles demonstrates the basic premise of this book: The Kennedy Curse is the result of the destructive collision between the Kennedys' fantasy of omnipotence - an unremitting desire to get away with things that others cannot - and the cold, hard realities of life." - from the inner front jacket flap.
