Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - My book is the biographies of four famous political leaders in the history of the United States, dating from the early 1880's to 1970. These four men held greatly different political views and belonged to most of the major political parties in our country. The first, Henry Clay, gave decades of service in the Senate and as Speaker of the House. He also served as Secretary of State and was involved in many of our foreign treaties. He was called 'The Great Compromiser' because he could get everybody to agree on an answer. With each of his nominations his ego got worse, and he thought he was God. We are better off that he was defeated in his three runs for the Presidency. Next is the sad and pathetic Williams Jennings Bryan. Historians consider him the stupidest and most incompetent to ever be nominated for President (three times). He babbled nonsense about bimetallism and silver and gold, but his only expertise was on the Bible. He died a complete fool following the famous Scopes Monkey Trial. Our third person was a very intelligent person who gained fame as a prosecutor who put Mafia and other major criminals in jail. His first nomination was a mistake because he was taking on 'the champ,' Franklin D. Roosevelt. His second nomination was unusual because he was declared the winner from day one, and was shocked by his defeat. His problem was that he turned people off by being cold, stuffy, and standoffish. His opponent was warm, outgoing, and friendly. Our final candidate is now listed as one of the greatest and most brilliant political geniuses in American history. It was a tragedy he was twice defeated by the same mediocre man. In 1962, the world finally realized his genius during the Cuban Missile Crisis when he took on the Soviet Union eyeball-to-eyeball. This book is a fascinating history of American politics and shows ten Presidential nominations given to only four men.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The author begins by taking you into that period of time when America was struggling with its own social consciousness while trying to support a war in Southeast Asia. By reading the introduction, you become 'briefed' on the events leading up to the Vietnam War. The following chapters take you on an incredible journey that describes the growth and determination needed to survive the ordeals of combat. These stories begin to tell of the authors' own account, while serving with the 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment. Assigned as Special Landing Force Bravo, the amphibious and helicopter assault group joins with other Marine battalions to make up the 'Thin green line' facing the North Vietnamese Army along the DMZ. Traveling with these guardians of 'Eye Corps' (1st Corps), you will become familiar with Quang Tri, Thua Thien and Quang Nam provinces. Their opponents in these territories were not only the Vietcong, but the hard corps divisions of the NVA. Together, these forces became the nemesis for the Tet Offensive during the high water mark of the Vietnam War. The men of 2/3 would serve most of their time fighting on these battlefields. This is their story of their purpose, their motivation and their challenge to defeat a relentless enemy that had sought a victory by declaring the Vietnamese Revolution in 1968. A story that must be told, one that has been recorded in the authors' book, 'The Nature of the Beast'. A book that is dedicated to all those who have made that sacrifice to help others to be free.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Island of Color: Where Juneteenth Started is a compelling firsthand chronicle of Galveston's African American legacy-told through the voice of Izola Ethel Fedford Collins, a fifth-generation native whose family helped shape the cultural and civic foundation of Texas. Through intimate memoir and documented history, Collins uncovers the untold story of the people who lived, led, and lifted a community in the shadow of slavery and the dawn of freedom. On the island of Galveston, Texas, the news of the Emancipation Proclamation arrived in June 1865-first whispered by deckhands and later declared publicly by General Granger at Ashton Villa. That moment, now known as Juneteenth, became a defining symbol of liberty for millions. But this story began long before the official order was read. Galveston was already home to free people of color, and its African American residents were pioneers in education, medicine, business, and faith. Collins preserves the legacy of her grandfather-a freedman who came to Galveston as a child-and combines his handwritten accounts with community interviews and rich personal memory. The result is a powerful, living document that restores color to faded historical records and honors the voices too long left out of the official narrative. Whether you're an educator, historian, student, or reader of memoirs, Island of Color invites you to rediscover the roots of Juneteenth and the vital contributions of Black Texans in one of America's most historic port cities. …
