Book excerpt: In almost a century, Americans went from traveling by horse to train to car to plane. In almost a century, human lives were taken by influenza, polio, whooping cough, and AIDs, and saved by vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical advances. In almost a century, people communicated by mail, then phone, and now internet. In almost a century, the United States grew from small-town isolationism to global interventionism and entered into two world wars. In almost a century, Walter J. P. Curley, like millions of other Americans, was born, raised, and lived through this vortex of cultural, scientific, technological, and historic change. Now, at 94, Curley, a decorated Marine Corps officer, former U.S. Ambassador to France and Ireland, successful businessman, and author of several books, takes a long look back at almost a century-one in which he has been most fortunate to play a role. .

Book excerpt: Award-winning historian Zachary Karabell tells the epic story of the greatest engineering feat of the nineteenth century--the building of the Suez Canal-- and shows how it changed the world. The dream was a waterway that would unite the East and the West, and the ambitious, energetic French diplomat and entrepreneur Ferdinand de Lesseps was the mastermind behind the project. Lesseps saw the project through fifteen years of financial challenges, technical obstacles, and political intrigues. He convinced ordinary French citizens to invest their money, and he won the backing of Napoleon III and of Egypt's prince Muhammad Said. But the triumph was far from perfect: the construction relied heavily on forced labor and technical and diplomatic obstacles constantly threatened completion. The inauguration in 1869 captured the imagination of the world. The Suez Canal was heralded as a symbol of progress that would unite nations, but its legacy is mixed. Parting the Desert is both a transporting narrative and a meditation on the origins of the modern Middle East.

'The fullest long-run political and diplomatic narrative yet of Britain's fateful, tragi-comic road to Brexit.'DAVID KYNASTON'An instant classic . . . Stephens is a master of historical codebreaking.'PETER HENNESSEYAward-winning Financial Times journalist Philip Stephens paints a fascinating portrait of sixty years - from Suez to Brexit - as Britain struggles to reconcile its waning power with its past glory.

Rarely if ever, in the history of the British state since 1707, has one half of Britain's ruling elite committed an act of policy viewed with such absolute contempt by the other half; and rarely has that contempt been expressed with such elegance, such fluency, and such a devastating wealth of supporting detail, as in this mighty survey.'
