Download or read book 31 Days written by Barry Werth and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2007-02-13 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 31 Days, acclaimed historian Barry Werth takes readers inside the White House during the tumultuous days of August 1974, following Richard Nixon's resignation and the swearing-in of America's "accidental president," Gerald Ford. The Watergate scandal had torn the country apart. In a dramatic, day-by-day account of the new administration’s inner workings, Werth shows how Ford, caught between political expedience, the country’s demands for justice, and his own moral compass, struggled valiantly to restore the nation’s tarnished faith in its leadership. With deft and refreshing analysis Werth illuminates how this unprecedented political upheaval produced new fissures and battle lines, as well as new opportunities for political advancement for ambitious young men such as Donald Rumsfeld, who had been Nixon’s ambassador to NATO, and Dick Cheney, already coolly efficient as Rumsfeld’s former deputy. A superbly crafted presidential history with all of the twists and turns of a thriller, 31 Days sheds new light on the key players and political dilemmas that reverberate in today’s headlines.
Download or read book Five Days in October written by Judson B. Emens and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five Days in October is the story of thirteen-year-old Abigail Morgan, who has finally reached the point in her life where she will no longer tolerate her father's sexual abuse. Her decision to leave home results in a journey fraught with unexpected twists and turns, most of which result from her father's power and influence as the county's circuit court judge. Judge Jonathan Morgan, a third-generation politician, has high political aspirations and wants Abi back home in his control before this becomes public knowledge and ruins his political future. Abi's mother, Rebecca, has been a lush for years. Shaken from her alcoholic doldrums by Abi's revelation, Rebecca embarks on her own journey in an attempt to become the mother Abi needs. Abi and her mother travel their journeys simultaneously in hopes of being reunited and for the justice that always seems to elude them. Judson B. Emens was born and raised in Tuscumbia, Alabama. He graduated from the University of North Alabama in 1971, majoring in History and Sociology. Shortly thereafter, Judson began his career at the Alabama Department of Human Resources where he spent the next thirty-three years. For twenty-nine of those years, he was the Child Welfare Supervisor, concentrating his efforts in the areas of Child Abuse/Neglect, Foster Care, Protective Services and Adoption. Throughout his life, Judson has seen, first-hand, how tough life can be for a child growing up in a dysfunctional family. In Five Days in October, his first novel, Judson has relied on his personal experience to create this fascinating and overwhelming story. This novel quickly captures the reader in a compelling drama of a teenaged girl trapped in a web of political ambition, power, corruption and abuse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never has the world come as close to the catastrophic destruction that nearly came to pass in October 1962. The United States and the Soviet Union, uneasy allies in World War II but Cold War rivals after the defeat of Germany, squared off over the discovery of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba. This launched 13 days of tense negotiations between the two nations, as both President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev prepared for the possibility of nuclear war. While neither man wanted a war and understood the potential consequences, the situation was not merely in their hands. Khrushchev faced pressure from Soviets to take a hardline stance against the U.S., while Kennedy faced the real possibility of a military coup if he did not follow the strong recommendations of his military advisors to destroy the missiles. As Attorney General Robert Kennedy said, "The 10 or 12 people who participated in all these discussions were bright and energetic people. We had perhaps amongst the most able in the country and if any one of a half a dozen of them were president, the world would have been very likely plunged into catastrophic war."
