During his relatively short reign he plumbed the depths of despair when the club was relegated to the Second Division. Many expected they would endure a long journey back to the top, but Tommy Docherty had other ideas. Building his new team around a group of highly talented youngsters, the football they played was celebrated as the best the club had seen since the days of Sir Matt Busby’s famous Babes. Promotion back to the First Division was won at the very first attempt, but it was the manner of that success that lived long in the memory of their supporters. Incredible though it seems, that Second Division campaign is still celebrated as one of the best in the club’s history by their fans. Many see that moment as being pivotal in the rise of the modern day football club that has kept on growing to mega heights. From there, United came close to winning a League and Cup ‘Double’ in 1976 when they ended the campaign third in the First Division table, and were F.A. Cup finalists. A year later they returned to Wembley to beat the newly crowned League Champions, - and soon to be crowned European Champions – Liverpool 1-0 to claim their first F.A. Cup success in 14 years. Tommy Docherty’s United was undoubtedly special. This production is a celebration of the clubs promotion back to the First Division, and appearing in two successive F.A. Cup finals. It includes short match report vignettes on the Second Division title success, and the Road to Wembley in 1976, and 1977. The reports also include full team statistics. A section advertising available memorabilia is also included. I hope it offers a fitting tribute to the Doc’s One Brief Shining Moment as manager of United ,and will revive man y happy memories of those days.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times–bestselling historian looks back on the Camelot of the early 1960s, and “make[s] the Kennedy days look glamorous again” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). In his renowned biographies Portrait of a President and The Death of a President, William Manchester intimately and meticulously detailed the life and death of President John F. Kennedy. One Brief Shining Moment is a celebration of that life, based on Manchester’s own recollections of his time with one of America’s most famous families. John Kennedy first met William Manchester in 1946, beginning a friendship that would follow him to Washington and eventually the White House. But, beyond the closed doors of the Oval Office, Manchester enjoyed a close relationship with the Kennedys. Drawing on family gatherings in New England, trips along the campaign trail, and informal private talks with JFK himself, this is William Manchester’s personal account of the man behind the legend, someone he truly admired and was proud to call a friend. One Brief Shining Moment provides a firsthand look at the thought process behind JFK’s most important decisions as president, his drive to move the country in a new direction, and his closest relationships. This is a book about a man, about a life, and about a triumphant moment in American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than fifty books debunking the religious claims of The Da Vinci Code have been published. Thisis the first book devoted to the fundamentally more interesting question: if those claims are so unfounded and erroneous, why have they resonated so strongly with millions of intelligent readers and filmgoers? From the sexual abuse scandal that shook the foundations of the Catholic Church to the 9/11 terrorist attacks that cast a cloud over a troubled nation, Eric Plumer's The Catholic Church and American Culture: Why the Claims of the DaVinci Code Struck a Chord investigates the contemporary events, ideas, and movements that fostered Dan Brown's unprecedented dominance of best-seller lists and dinner-table conversation. This ambitious book considers the feminist movement, radical individualism, twelve-step programs, the authority of science and psychology, and other cultural developments that paved the way for The Da Vinci Code craze. It also reflects on the recent publication of the Gnostic Gospels, including the Gospel of Mary Magdalene. Plumer's engaging book is sure to stimulate further discussion about the role of religion in contemporary life.
