Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

348, [2] pages. Wear to DJ. Two U.S. senators lay bare the inner workings of Washington in a thriller that follows Senator Thomas Chandler's search for the culprit and the motives for the assassination of the family of the U.S. Secretary of State. William Sebastian Cohen (born August 28, 1940) is an American lawyer, author, and politician from the U.S. state of Maine. A Republican, Cohen served as both a member of the United States House of Representatives (1973-1979) and Senate (1979-1997), and as Secretary of Defense (1997-2001) under Democratic President Bill Clinton. Cohen had very good working relations with President Clinton and National Security Adviser Sandy Berger and an "almost ideal" collaboration with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Writing has been Cohen's principal avocation for many years, and his published works include: Of Sons and Seasons, a volume of poems. Roll Call, a journal of Cohen's first year in the Senate. Getting the Most Out of Washington, a manual on cutting through government red tape. The Double Man, written with Senator Gary Hart, a novel on international espionage and terrorism. A Baker's Nickel, a second volume of poetry. Men of Zeal, written with Senator George Mitchell, an account of their experience investigating the Iran-Contra affair. One-Eyed Kings, a spy thriller involving Soviet and American covert actions that converge in the Middle East. Murder in the Senate, a mystery written with Thomas B. Allen. Easy Prey: The Fleecing of America's Senior Citizens and How to Stop It, Gary Warren Hart (né Hartpence; born November 28, 1936) is an American politician, diplomat, and lawyer. He was the front-runner for the 1988 Democratic presidential nomination until he dropped out amid revelations of extramarital affairs. He represented Colorado in the United States Senate from 1975 to 1987. Hart sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984, narrowly losing the race to former Vice President Walter Mondale. Hart declined to seek re-election to the Senate in 1986 and sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988. He was widely viewed as the front-runner until reports surfaced of an extramarital affair, and Hart withdrew from the race in May 1987. He re-entered the race in December 1987 but withdrew from the race again after faring poorly in the early primaries. Hart returned to private practice after the 1988 election and served in a variety of public roles. He co-chaired the Hart-Rudman Task Force on Homeland Security, served on the Homeland Security Advisory Council, and was the United States Special Envoy for Northern Ireland. He earned a doctorate in politics from the University of Oxford and has written for outlets such as The Huffington Post. He has also written several books, including a biography of President James Monroe. Bob Woodward reviewed this novel and wrote: This is an expertly crafted thriller that is full of many uncomfortable plausibilities. Though clearly labeled fiction, it dances knowledgeably with many old and new ghosts, including the CIA, the KGB, the Kennedy assassination, terrorism, and a range of state secrets. Coming from a Republican and Democrat who together have many years of experience on the Senate Intelligence Committee, The Double Man has to be taken, minimally, as a grim warning about the intelligence services in our own country and elsewhere.…
