Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. xii, [4], 351, [1] pages. DJ has a small tear at top near spine. Foreword by Caroline Kennedy. Illustrations. To mark John F. Kennedy's centennial, celebrate the life and legacy of the 35th President of the United States. A selection of more than 300 images--including family letters, personal ephemera, and captivating photographs--collected by Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, many never seen before, featuring the beloved and revered Kennedy family: This remarkable history dates from 1878 through 1946--up to the aftermath of WWII and the beginning of JFK's political career--and covers everything from the family's first home to beach vacations, from children's birthdays to first Communions. The images capture the formative years of a uniquely American dynasty, imparting a glowing nostalgia to the period and detailing the family's progress as it grows from a pair of turn-of-the-century newlyweds into a populous, vibrant clan of hopeful young men and women on the brink of their brilliant destinies. This is a piece of Americana that readers will treasure. Derived from a Kirkus review: A fascinating album of the Kennedy matriarch's collection of family photos focusing on the first half of the 20th century. As with most photo albums, this one includes, among an abundance of static group shots and portraits, loads of candid shots of happy-seeming children playing sports, holding pets, reaching milestones, at home, at school, at holidays abroad and by the sea. Rose (nee Fitzgerald) and Joseph P. Kennedy's family portraits are densely populated. Their brood, begun with Joe Jr. in 1915, grew to include nine children in all with the birth of Teddy in 1932. As if the sheer size of the clan were not enough to engage the casual observer, what makes these photos particularly interesting is that they are, of course, of the Kennedys. They may look at first glance like an ordinary, if privileged, group of American kids marching (or running, swimming and sledding) inexorably toward maturity through the Jazz Age, the Depression and World War II. But among these sometimes-gawky, sometimes-silly, often proud-looking children are the eerily recognizable young faces of the future president, his attorney general, and the longtime senior senator from Massachusetts. "A mother knows," Rose said of the first time she held her own infant, "that hers is the influence that can make that little, precious being into a leader, an inspiration, a shining light to the world." The handsomely displayed photos are explicated by straightforward history, snippets of family correspondence, and precise and informative captions. The themes of the collection are happiness, innocence and achievement; the collection ends with Jack's successful run for Congress in 1946, with only occasional tastes of the tragedies to come. For students of American politics and history, an intriguing, unique window into the formation of one of the country's most enduring and controversial dynasties.

H. H. Walker Lewis was the former general solicitor for the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. and author of two biographies and numerous monographs. He wrote histories of the Hamilton Street Club and Rule Day Club and contributed to the Maryland Law Review for years. In 1965, Houghton-Mifflin published Mr. Lewis' "Without Fear or Favor, A Life of Chief Justice Taney" and four years later, "Speak for Yourself, Daniel." This life of Daniel Webster is an autobiography with a difference--composed one hundred years after the author's death with the assistance of Walker Lewis. The words are Webster's, drawn from his autobiography, his letters, court cases, and speeches. The picture is rounded out with a few letters from friends and other contemporary sidelights. When a great man dies, he is first eulogized, then dissected. His admirers consign him to sainthood, and later commentators rip away the halo. We can no longer recapture Webster's voice, or the excitement of his presence. But we can at least catch the words by which contemporaries knew him, and in so doing come closer to the realization of his charm, and significance. …

Includes illustrations between pages 70 and 71, as well as between pages 134 and 135. This book is the story of a man, not of a period, but the man represents a period. It is less a historical document than history seen through the eyes and heart of a person who made and lived it. The commune seemed the solution on the eve of the first World War. Recollections of the development of a new society in the ancient land of Israel. Three generations of Israelis are presented in "Pioneers of Israel," a collection of reminiscences. The author is Shmuel Dayan, one of Israel's pioneers, a member of the Israeli Parliament and author up to that time of five books in Hebrew. Shmuel Dayan (8 August 1891 - 11 August 1968) was a Zionist activist during the British Mandate of Palestine and an Israeli politician who served in the first three Knessets. Born in the town of Zhashkiv in the Russian Empire (today in Ukraine), he joined the Zionist movement as a boy and emigrated to Palestine, then under Ottoman rule, in 1908. He worked in agriculture in Petah Tikva, Rehovot, Yavne'el and Kinneret until 1911, when he became active in Hapoel Hatzair (the Young Workers Party). He was also one of the earliest settlers in Degania, the country's first kibbutz, though he left in 1921 to help establish the moshav Nahalal. According to his grandson, he, as opposed to his wife Devorah, never personally worked more than 2 weeks at the kibbutz, but spent most of his life in hotels. As one of the leaders of the nascent Moshav Movement, he made several trips to the United States and Poland as a Zionist emissary. In 1949, he was elected to the First Knesset for the Mapai party, and served as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset. In 1951, he used his official Service Passport to travel abroad, mainly to the US, on official meetings. He continued as a member of the next two Knessets, until 1959. Shmuel Dayan was the father of Israeli general and politician Moshe Dayan and the grandfather of politician Yael Dayan and director Assi Dayan. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. …
