Download or read book Author in Chief written by Craig Fehrman and published by Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “One of the best books on the American presidency to appear in recent years.” —Thomas Mallon, The Wall Street Journal “Fun and fascinating…It’s witty, charming, and fantastically learned. I loved it.” —Rick Perlstein Based on a decade of research and reporting, Author in Chief tells the story of America’s presidents as authors—and offers a delightful new window into the public and private lives of our highest leaders. Most Americans are familiar with Abraham Lincoln’s famous words in the Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation. Yet few can name the work that helped him win the presidency: his published collection of speeches entitled Political Debates between Hon. Abraham Lincoln and Hon. Stephen A. Douglas. Lincoln labored in secret to get his book ready for the 1860 election, tracking down newspaper transcripts, editing them carefully for fairness, and hunting for a printer who would meet his specifications. Political Debates sold fifty thousand copies—the rough equivalent of half a million books in today’s market—and it reveals something about Lincoln’s presidential ambitions. But it also reveals something about his heart and mind. When voters asked about his beliefs, Lincoln liked to point them to his book. In Craig Fehrman’s groundbreaking work of history, Author in Chief, the story of America’s presidents and their books opens a rich new window into presidential biography. From volumes lost to history—Calvin Coolidge’s Autobiography, which was one of the most widely discussed titles of 1929—to ones we know and love—Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father, which was very nearly never published—Fehrman unearths countless insights about the presidents through their literary works. Presidential books have made an enormous impact on American history, catapulting their authors to the national stage and even turning key elections. Beginning with Thomas Jefferson’s Notes on the State of Virginia, the first presidential book to influence a campaign, and John Adams’s Autobiography, the first score-settling presidential memoir, Author in Chief draws on newly uncovered information—including never-before-published letters from Andrew Jackson, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan—to cast fresh light on the private drives and self-doubts that fueled our nation’s leaders. We see Teddy Roosevelt as a vulnerable first-time author, struggling to write the book that would become a classic of American history. We see Reagan painstakingly revising Where’s the Rest of Me?, a forgotten memoir in which he sharpened his sunny political image. We see Donald Trump negotiating the deal for The Art of the Deal, the volume that made him synonymous with business savvy. Alongside each of these authors, we also glimpse the everyday Americans who read them. Combining the narrative felicity of a journalist with the rigorous scholarship of a historian, Fehrman delivers a feast for history lovers, book lovers, and everybody curious about a behind-the-scenes look at our presidents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These collected biographies on the wacky secrets and scandals of the first ladies of the United States casts American history in a whole new light Whether she’s a leading lady, loyal spouse, or lightning rod for scandal, the First Lady of the United States has always been in the spotlight—and in 2017 that was truer than ever. This revised and expanded edition from Quirk’s best-selling Secret Lives series features outrageous and uncensored profiles of the women of the White House, from Martha Washington to Melania Trump, it comes complete with hundreds of little-known, politically incorrect, and downright wacko facts. Did you know that: • Dolley Madison loved to chew tobacco • Mary Todd Lincoln conducted séances on a regular basis • Eleanor Roosevelt and Ellen Wilson both carried guns • Jacqueline Kennedy spent $121,000 on her wardrobe in a single year • Betty Ford liked to chat on CB radios—her handle was “First Mama” With chapters on every woman who’s ever made it to the White House, Secret Lives of the First Ladies tackles all the tough questions that other history books are afraid to ask: How many of these women owned slaves? Which ones were cheating on their husbands? And why was Eleanor Roosevelt serving hot dogs to the King and Queen of England? American history was never this much fun in school!
Download or read book Presidential Chronicles Volume I the Founders written by David Fisher and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-14 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Founders is the first full volume of biographies in David Fisher's series Presidential Chronicles - the series of books and videos on American history as seen through the lives of the Presidents of the United States. Author David Fisher provides robust yet concise biographies of every U.S. President in this unique multi-volume collection, revealing the essential elements of their lives in the contexts of their times. Fisher makes extensive use of first-person quotations to help convey the inner thoughts of his subjects, along with a broad collection of images to help bring these stories to life. Many of the images are pulled from his vast personal collection of first edition presidential biographies, with many dating from the era in which these men were charged to lead their nation. This first volume of Presidential Chronicles (The Founders) tells the life stories of the nation's first five Presidents who helped define the role of the nation's chief executive: George Washington John Adams Thomas Jefferson James Madison James Monroe Fisher captures the essence of the founding era through these lives that spanned the military, legislative, diplomatic, and ultimately executive roles that helped define the start of the American experiment. He provides a first-person perspective to the pre-revolutionary era, the colonial rebellion, the war for independence, the diplomatic efforts abroad, and the challenges of starting a new nation based on democratic principles - something unlike anything the world had ever seen before. He explores the inter-connected nature of the lives of these founding leaders - relationships and experiences that were essential to the dawn of the Republic, but also broke down over the different visions they brought to bear on how to shape the new nation they helped to birth. The Founders is part of Presidential Chronicles - Volumes, the print edition of the series in which each release includes five presidential biographies. The other released printed volumes include Volume II: Democracy Expands (with biographies of John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, and John Tyler) and Volume III: The Path to National Fracture (with biographies of James Polk, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan). Two additional volumes are planned for release in 2022. These biographies are also available as individual E-Books in the Presidential Chronicles - Individual series.
