Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR PRIZE 2015. 'I kill a man and most people forgive me. However, I love a man and many say this makes me an evil person.' On 24 March 1962, when Emile Griffith stepped into the ring in Madison Square Garden to defend his world title against Benny Paret, he was filled with rage. During their weigh-in, the Cuban challenger had denounced Griffith as a 'faggot' and minced towards him. In the macho world of boxing, where fighters know they are engaged in the hurt game, there could be no greater insult. At that time, it was illegal for people of the same gender to have sex, or even for a bar to knowingly serve a drink to a gay person. It was an insinuation that could have had dangerous consequences for Griffith - especially as it was true. In the fight that followed, Griffith pounded Paret into unconsciousness, and the Cuban would die soon after, leaving Griffith haunted by what he had done. Despite this, he went on to fight more world championship rounds than any other fighter in history in a career that lasted for almost 20 years. In Donald McRae's first sports book in more than a decade, he weaves a compelling tale of triumph over prejudice - Griffith was black, so doubly damned by contemporary society, but refused to cower away as society wished. A Man's World is sure to become a classic piece of sports writing.

Download or read book Commander in Cheat written by Rick Reilly and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Reilly pokes more holes in Trump's claims than there are sand traps on all of his courses combined. It is by turns amusing and alarming."-- The New Yorker "Golf is the spine of this shocking, wildly humorous book, but humanity is its flesh and spirit." -- Chicago Sun-Times "Every one of Trump's most disgusting qualities surfaces in golf." -- The Ringer An outrageous indictment of Donald Trump's appalling behavior when it comes to golf -- on and off the green -- and what it reveals about his character. Donald Trump loves golf. He loves to play it, buy it, build it, and operate it. He owns 14 courses around the world and runs another five, all of which he insists are the best on the planet. He also claims he's a 3 handicap, almost never loses, and has won an astonishing 18 club championships. How much of all that is true? Almost none of it, acclaimed sportswriter Rick Reilly reveals in this unsparing look at Trump in the world of golf. Based on Reilly's own experiences with Trump as well as interviews with over 100 golf pros, amateurs, developers, and caddies, Commander in Cheat is a startling and at times hilarious indictment of Trump and his golf game. You'll learn how Trump cheats (sometimes with the help of his caddies and Secret Service agents), lies about his scores (the "Trump Bump"), tells whoppers about the rank of his courses and their worth (declaring that every one of them is worth $50 million), and tramples the etiquette of the game (driving on greens doesn't help). Trump doesn't brag so much, though, about the golf contractors he stiffs, the course neighbors he intimidates, or the way his golf decisions wind up infecting his political ones. For Trump, it's always about winning. To do it, he uses the tricks he picked up from the hustlers at the public course where he learned the game as a college kid, and then polished as one of the most bombastic businessmen of our time. As Reilly writes, "Golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a man." Commander in Cheat "paints a side-splitting portrait of a congenital cheater" (Esquire), revealing all kinds of unsightly truths Trump has been hiding.

Download or read book The World Awakens written by John Michael Chambers and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2022-10-19 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you trust our government, media, education, healthcare, technology, entertainment, banking, and investments? Should you? The small, untrustworthy group of people who own and control every one of those industries hope you will not even entertain the questions, let alone put in the time to explore the answers. These two volumes of The World Awakens are an encyclopedia of trusted sources who give their honest overview of our real history, the world today, and what lies ahead. You will get the forty-thousand-foot view from deep researchers, truth tellers, and patriots like myself, General Michael Flynn, Juan O Savin, Sidney Powell, General Thomas McInerney, Lin Wood, Patrick Byrne, Mike Lindell, Clay Clark, Praying Medic, Patel Patriot, Mike Adams, Laura Logan, the late Robert David Steele, and many many more. World war is not just on the way. This is no simulation. It is here. Today’s threat is real, making The World Awakens critically important for widely exposing uncomfortable truths. These two books are not about politics; instead, they put the evidence before you, showing how we are all participants in this conflict that continues the struggle of good against evil, life versus death. Many have woken up to the threat, but a large portion of the masses are still unaware, leaving everyone vulnerable to a relative few whose ultimate goal is complete control of the world—actually, they have had it for decades and longer—as they continue working at ways to slowly terminate us through methods that a busy, uninterested society will not stop to learn. Today’s covert battle involves a planet full of average, honorable people fighting a relatively-tiny group of world-controlling depopulationists. They desire to dominate. It’s us or them. Good people must help. Please join the fight. When your children and grandchildren ask: “What were you doing as global governance was being thrust down the throat of America and the world?” What will be your answer?
Download or read book Donald Trump written by Brendan Simms and published by I.B. Tauris. This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 8, 2016, Donald Trump won the American presidential election, to the surprise of many across the globe. Now that Trump is Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful country on earth, Americans and non-Americans alike have been left wondering what this will mean for the world. It has been claimed that Trump's foreign policy views are impulsive, inconsistent and that they were improvised on the campaign trail. However, drawing on interviews from as far back as 1980, Charlie Laderman and Brendan Simms show that this assumption is dangerously false. They reveal that Trump has had a consistent position on international trade and America's alliances since he first considered running for president in the late 1980s. Furthermore, his foreign policy views have deep roots in American history. For the new President, almost every international problem that has confronted the United States can be explained by the mistakes of its leaders. Yet, after decades of dismissing America's leaders as fools and denouncing their diplomacy, Trump must now prove that he can do better.Over the past three decades, he has been laying out in interviews, articles, books and tweets what amounts to a foreign policy philosophy. This book reveals the world view that Trump brings to the Oval Office. It shows how that world view was formed, what might result if it is applied in policy terms and the potential consequences for the rest of the world.

Download or read book Donald Trump Is the Worst Person in the World written by Tedd Levy and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Tedd Levy's first book takes a direct, harsh, truthful look at the evil that is Donald Trump. It's a bumpy ride, but one full of insight, logic, candor, and just a little humor. Tedd's unique style, tone, and personal voice makes his book an interesting read. Tedd frames and presents his examination of Donald Trump as no one else has.From the book: "According to his first wife, Ivana, Donald Trump was never keen on bequeathing his name to anybody. It was Ivana who wanted to call their newborn Donald Junior. 'You can't do that!' Trump is quoted as saying in Ivana's memoir, Raising Trump. 'What if he's a loser?'""To compare the Trump Foundation to the foundations of other wealthy business leaders is like comparing Mother Theresa to a pick pocket. Donald Trump is a high-tech pick pocket.""Trump's conduct is on display to America and to America's children. When we assume the crucial task of building healthy children, we look to foster positive values. We teach our children to be honest-but Trump is deceitful, to be modest-but Trump is egotistical, to be kind-but Trump is cruel, to be generous-but Trump is greedy, to be respectful-but Trump is insolent, to be fair-but Trump is partial, to be compassionate-but Trump is coldhearted.""Let me see if I have this right. Trump says he kisses women without their consent. Several women say he kissed them without their consent. Trump says the women are lying. Got it.""Several other sources affiliated with The Celebrity Apprentice said during [Marlee] Matlin's appearance on the show, Donald Trump mocked her hearing loss and speech pattern and seemed to get a real kick out of doing so. They said Trump would regularly ridicule and disrespect the actress. He is reported to have repeatedly called her retarded because of her deafness and deaf accent. Pure, unadulterated, unbelievable, cruel, medieval ignorance.""Trump is said to have had a passion for Princess Diana. In 1995, Trump offered Diana complimentary membership in his Mar-a-Lago Club (she declined). After her divorce, Trump sent her massive bouquets of flowers. TV journalist Selina Scott, a friend of Lady Di, has since revealed that Diana had said that she felt stalked by Trump and that he gave her the creeps. In 1997 on his radio show, Howard Stern asked Trump, 'You could've nailed her, right?' Trump responded, 'I think I could've.'"Table of Contents: 1. Trump the Liar, 2. Trump the Bigot, 3.

Download or read book World Within Walls written by Donald Keene and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tokugawa family held the shogunate from 1603 to 1867, ruling Japan and keeping the island nation isolated from the rest of the world for more than 250 years. Donald Keene looks within the "walls" of isolation and meticulously chronicles the period's vast literary output, providing both lay readers and scholars with the definitive history of premodern Japanese literature. World Within Walls spans the age in which Japanese literature began to reach a popular audience--as opposed to the elite aristocratic readers to whom it had previously been confined. Keene comprehensively treats each of the new, popular genres that arose, including haiku, Kabuki, and the witty, urbane prose of the newly ascendant merchant class.
Download or read book Korea in World History written by Donald N. Clark and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Donald Clark does a masterful job of situating the entire sweep of Korean history in its global context thus belying the shop worn stereotype of Korea as a hermit nation. Clark uses his mastery of both medieval and modern history to vividly describe the often ignored contributions of this fascinating society to East Asian civilization writ large. His concise chapter arrangement and lively narrative writing pulls the reader into the Korean story while showing just how relevant that story is, particularly in modern times, for an American readership. Clark has condensed without sacrificing important detail, and he emphasizes important themes from Korea's past that have combined with the turbulent 20th century to produce the complex strategic and economic situation at the beginning of the 21st century on the peninsula. Particularly trenchant are his chapters on the division of Korea as well as a thoughtful treatment of North Korea which is too often ignored in other texts. This book will make an excellent companion volume in East Asia survey courses, and other courses on East Asia. After all, as Prof. Clark points out again and again, understanding Korea remains vital to a true appreciation of East Asia's past and present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2020 PAUL TORDAY MEMORIAL PRIZE. A powerful, beautiful novel, set across two decades, in the wake of a devastating maritime tragedy. “Full of memorable images and singing lines of prose.” Sarah Waters Tormod Morrison was on board HMY Iolaire on the terrible night as 1919 dawned, when the ship smashed into rocks and sank: some 200 servicemen drowned on the very last leg of their long journey home from war. For Tormod—a man unlike others, with artistry in his fingertips—the disaster would mark him indelibly. And for the stunned islanders, who had so joyfully anticipated the return of their sons, brothers and sweethearts, no shock could have been greater or more difficult to live with. Two decades later, Alasdair and Rachel are sent to the windswept Isle of Lewis to live with Tormod in his traditional blackhouse home, a world away from the Glasgow of their earliest years. Their grandfather is kind, compassionate, but still deeply affected by the Iolaire shipwreck—by the selfless heroism and desperate tragedy he witnessed. A deeply moving novel about passion constrained, coping with loss and a changing world, As the Women Lay Dreaming explores how a single event can so dramatically impact communities, individuals and, indeed, our very souls.
