Hardback. Zustand: Fair. World War II loomed over the twentieth century, transforming every level of American society and international politics and searing itself onto the psyche of an entire generation, including that of six American presidents: John F. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush. The lessons of World War II, more than party affiliation or ideology, defined the presidencies of these six men. They returned home determined to confront any force that threatened to undermine the war's hard-won ideals, each with their own unique understanding of patriotism, sacrifice, and America's role in global politics. In Presidents at War, Gillon examines what these men took away from the war and how they then applied it to Cold War policy that proceeded to change America, and the world, forever. A nuanced and deeply-researched exploration of the lives, philosophies, and legacies of six remarkable men, Presidents at War deftly argues that the lessons learned by these post-war presidents continue to shape the landscape upon which current, and future, presidents stand today. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. You might think these were sweeping legal reforms that greatly improved American society. Or perhaps you view them as stopgap measures intended to right some grave social injustice. What all these instances of reform share, however, whether sponsored by Democrats or Republicans, is wildly unforeseen consequences--occasionally positive, often regrettable. With a shrewd eye for historical absurdity, Steven M. Gillon takes us on a tour of this century's reforms and legal innovation -- federal welfare policy, community mental health, immigration, and campaign finance reform, to name an additional few--and describes the unintended consequences of their enactment. The result is a brisk, instructive, and disturbing study that will be required reading for all students of government and society, and for anyone who wishes to avoid the perils that stalk any legislative body.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The stirring, fascinating, action-packed story of Len Lomell, an Army Ranger who performed incredible, heroic actions on D-Day-and throughout WWII-ultimately winning the Distinguished Service Cross, a Silver Star, a Bronze Star. Lomell, who lived in New Jersey for the rest of his life and died in 2011, was later praised by Stephen Ambrose as the most important single person in the success of D-Day after General Eisenhower. Lomell, who enlisted in the Army in 1942, became an Army Ranger, and was soon sent to England to prepare for the D-Day invasion. At Point du Hoc, Lomell and his men were given a mission-to scale the steep cliffs, and disable the big German guns at the top, guns that could otherwise destroy the rest of the D-Day landing fleet. Despite incredible odds, it was a mission that Lomell completed almost single-handed. Steve Gillon was able to interview Lomell personally many times, and has taken those interviews, his research, and his incredible, action-packed writing skills to a book that will fascinated WWII readers, and most importantly, bring a brave, heroic, and inspirational story to life.…
