Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a fascinating, impressively detailed, account of the professional and personal life of a prominent historian of Latin America. It covers his youth, contacts with a young Leonard Bernstein, and his education at Boston Latin School and Harvard. He served in WWII, rising from private to master sergeant, ending up in a three-man military intelligence unit on Okinawa. There he held in his hands the first aerial photos of atomic-bombed Hiroshima, and was an eye witness to the surrender of Japanese holdouts. In rising from college instructor to department chair Potash recounts the conflicts and tensions that make up academic life. His two-year leave with the State Department was a career transforming experience, turning him eventually into a best selling author on the the military's role in Argentine politics. Potash describes his experiences working with Nazi files as part of an investigating commission created by the Argentine government. Known for his expertise, Potash is frequently consulted in times of crisis by the Argentine media and his name has become a household word in that country. Potash also recalls his courtship and marriage and relationships with his two daughters. Readers have dubbed the manuscript "hard to put down."

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Discover the game-changing theory of the cycles of history and what past generations can teach us about living through times of upheaval—with deep insights into the roles that Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials have to play—now with a new preface by Neil Howe. First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict what comes next. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four twenty-year eras—or “turnings”—that comprise history’s seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post–World War II period, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighty years is just the beginning... A wise woman once suggested that it should take only a paragraph or two to tell a story; however, the story of a long life takes more space than that. This memoir chronicles an eighty-year journey wearing hats as a student, physician, museum professional, traveler, and writer. Not wearing a hat can result in skin cancer. Some memories are serious, some are lighter, and some will probably make no sense to the reader. From camp bugler and squirrel trapper to patient and doctor, these vignettes are all parts of one man's life story.
