Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pacy and enthralling." —Financial Times "Tells the story brilliantly." —Senator Joseph I. Lieberman "Stimulating and insightful...will no doubt find a permanent place on the Arab-Israeli bookshelf." —Michael Oren, New York Times bestselling author of Six Days of War October 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, a conflict that shaped the modern Middle East. The War was a trauma for Israel, a dangerous superpower showdown, and, following the oil embargo, a pivotal reordering of the global economic order. The Jewish State came shockingly close to defeat. A panicky cabinet meeting debated the use of nuclear weapons. After the war, Prime Minister Golda Meir resigned in disgrace, and a 9/11-style commission investigated the “debacle.” But, argues Uri Kaufman, from the perspective of a half century, the War can be seen as a pivotal victory for Israel. After nearly being routed, the Israeli Defense Force clawed its way back to threaten Cairo and Damascus. In the war’s aftermath both sides had to accept unwelcome truths: Israel could no longer take military superiority for granted—but the Arabs could no longer hope to wipe Israel off the map. A straight line leads from the battlefields of 1973 to the Camp David Accords of 1978 and all the treaties since. Like Michael Oren’s Six Days of War, this is the definitive account of a critical moment in history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey back in time as author Bill Lewers puts you on the floor of New York's Madison Square Garden in the midst of one of the most remarkable political events in our nation's history! The year is 1924. Claudia Burnham, cub reporter for the Washington Chronicle and alternate delegate for the state of Virginia, is heading to New York City to cover the Democratic National Convention. There, armed with only her charm, wits, and can-do attitude, she must navigate the male-dominated worlds of journalism and politics. Once in New York, she is promoted to full delegate only to discover that advancement and conscience don't always go hand-in-hand. As a reporter she looks on as forces as diverse as Prohibition, the League of Nations, and the Ku Klux Klan threaten to rip the Democratic Party apart. At the same time a multitude of candidates vie for support as the convention descends into a deadlocked nightmare that goes on and on, ballot after ballot, day after day. Party leaders search desperately for a way out of the impasse while Claudia reports on every development, scheme, and rumor that takes place, both on and off the convention floor. Claudia would like to help resolve the situation but as a lone delegate, closely monitored by her leaders, she is powerless to do so. Or is she?
Download or read book The Eighteen Day Running Mate written by Joshua M. Glasser and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No skeletons were rattling in his closet, Thomas Eagleton assured George McGovern's political director. But only eighteen days later—after a series of damaging public revelations and feverish behind-the-scenes maneuverings—McGovern rescinded his endorsement of his Democratic vice-presidential running mate, and Eagleton withdrew from the ticket. This fascinating book is the first to uncover the full story behind Eagleton's rise and precipitous fall as a national candidate. Within days of Eagleton's nomination, a pair of anonymous phone calls brought to light his history of hospitalizations for “nervous exhaustion and depression” and past treatment with electroshock therapy. The revelation rattled the campaign and placed McGovern's organization under intense public and media scrutiny. Joshua M. Glasser investigates a campaign in disarray and explores the perspectives of the campaign's key players, how decisions were made and who made them, how cultural attitudes toward mental illness informed the crisis, and how Eagleton's and McGovern's personal ambitions shaped the course of events. Drawing on personal interviews with McGovern, campaign manager Gary Hart, political director Frank Mankiewicz, and dozens of other participants inside and outside the McGovern and Eagleton camps—as well as extensive unpublished campaign records—Glasser captures the political and human drama of Eagleton's brief candidacy. Glasser also offers sharp insights into the America of 1972—mired in war and anxious about the economy, a time with striking similarities to our own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crimes against Nature reveals the hidden history behind three of the nation's first parklands: the Adirondacks, Yellowstone, and the Grand Canyon. Focusing on conservation's impact on local inhabitants, Karl Jacoby traces the effect of criminalizing such traditional practices as hunting, fishing, foraging, and timber cutting in the newly created parks. Jacoby reassesses the nature of these "crimes" and provides a rich portrait of rural people and their relationship with the natural world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
