Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The true story of how the three most influential American progressives of the early 20th century-Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Jane Addams-split over America's response to World War I.In the early years of the 20th century, the most famous Americans on the national stage were Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Jane Addams: two presidents and a social reformer. Each took a different path to prominence: Roosevelt the Rough Rider and conservationist; Wilson the president of Princeton University and New Jersey governor; Addams the founder of Hull-House and advocate for women's suffrage. Yet all held progressive views on how to guide the United States forward. The three were, if not always friends, then at least allies in the belief that the United States must take better care of its citizens. Which they did: As president, Roosevelt championed his Square Deal, breaking corporate trusts, regulating railroads, and purifying food and drugs. Wilson oversaw the passage of his New Freedom domestic policies that created the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Reserve. Addams worked to improve the lives of mothers and children, local public health, and lobbied for world peace.Yet in the increasingly contentious years that led to World War I, the views of these three titans splintered in how to deal with the conflict. Roosevelt, the radical Republican, believed passionately that the United States must play a part in the Great War. Wilson, the Southern-born Democrat, clung staunchly to the concept of American neutrality until he had no other choice but to send American troops to fight in Europe. And Addams, a lifelong pacifist, never wavered from her conviction that the United States must stay out of all conflicts and that war was ultimately a waste of human life and solved nothing.The Approaching Storm by Neil Lanctot is the true story of three extraordinary leaders and how they agreed, quarreled, and ultimately split apart as they debated the role that the United States should play in the world. By turns a color triptych of three American icons who changed history and an engrossing exploration of the clash between progressivism and the roots of World War I, this is a surprising and important story of how and why the United States emerged onto the world stage for the first time.Story Locale: Early 20th century Washington, D.C., New York and Europe.

THE SWANS THE ORIGINAL SERIES BASED ON THE BESTSELLING BOOK NOW AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON HULU!New York Times bestselling author Laurence Leamer reveals the complex web of relationships and scandalous true stories behind Truman Capote's never-published final novel, Answered Prayers the dark secrets, tragic glamour, and Capote's ultimate betrayal of the group of female friends he called his 'swans.' There are certain women, Truman Capote wrote, who, though perhaps not born rich, are born to be rich. Barbara Babe Paley, Gloria Guinness, Marella Agnelli, Slim Hayward, Pamela Churchill, C. Z. Guest, Lee Radziwill (Jackie Kennedy s sister) they were the toast of midcentury New York, each beautiful and distinguished in her own way. Capote befriended them, received their deepest confidences, and ingratiated himself into their lives. Then, in one fell swoop, he betrayed them in the most surprising and startling way possible.Bestselling biographer Laurence Leamer delves into the years following the acclaimed publication of Breakfast at Tiffany s in 1958 and In Cold Blood in 1966, when Capote struggled with a crippling case of writer s block. While enjoying all the fruits of his success, he was struck with an idea for what he was sure would be his most celebrated novel one based on the remarkable, racy lives of his very, very rich friends.For years, Capote attempted to write Answered Prayers, what he believed would have been his magnum opus. But when he eventually published a few chapters in Esquire, the thinly fictionalized lives (and scandals) of his closest female confidantes were laid bare for all to see, and he was banished from their high-society world forever. Laurence Leamer re-creates the lives of these fascinating swans, their friendships with Capote and one another, and the doomed quest to write what could have been one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century.
