Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating autobiography, the late Massachusetts Governor and Senator Leverett Saltonstall shares stories from a political career that spanned nearly five decades—from the Massachusetts House of Representatives to the chambers of the U.S. Senate. Few politicians in the history of the Republic have experienced such a successful career as this Yankee from Massachusetts. Saltonstall takes us behind the scenes, beginning with that day in 1923 when Governor Channing Cox swore him in as a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. We get the insider’s perspective on the Boston Police strike and its aftermath, the controversial Sacco-Vanzetti case comes to life once again, and we are treated to the remarkable details of Saltonstall's battles with James Michael Curley, Dan Coakley, and William F. Callahan. His story of the "hush-hush" Senate committee that was charged with overseeing the CIA is still intriguing today as is his portrayal of Senators caught in a bind by Joe McCarthy. The stories of Saltonstall’s life are told with humility and warmth—from his close working relationship with John F. Kennedy while they served in the Senate to together to the strong bond between him and his wife of sixty years to the impact "Uncle Cotty" and Henry Shattuck had on his political education and development.

Download or read book Leviathan 2 0 written by Charles S. Maier and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Hobbes laid the theoretical groundwork of the nation-state in Leviathan, his tough-minded treatise of 1651. Leviathan 2.0 updates this classic account to explain how modern statehood took shape between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, before it unraveled into the political uncertainty that persists today. Modern states were far from immune to the modernizing forces of war, technology, and ideology. From 1845 to 1880, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Argentina were all reconstituted through territorial violence. Europe witnessed the unification of Germany and Italy, while Asian nations such as Japan tried to mitigate foreign incursions through state-building reforms. A global wave of revolution at the turn of the century pushed the modernization process further in China, Russia, Iran, and Ottoman Turkey. By the late 1930s, with the rise of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, the momentum of history seemed to shift toward war-glorifying totalitarian states. But several variants of the modern state survived World War II: the welfare states of Western democracies; single-party socialist governments; and governments dominated by the military, especially prevalent in Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East. Toward the end of the twentieth century, all of these forms stood in growing tension with the transformative influences of globalized capitalism. Modern statehood recreated itself in many ways, Charles S. Maier concludes, but finally had to adopt a precarious equilibrium with ever more powerful economic forces.

Download or read book Among Empires written by Charles S. Maier and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2007-10-30 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary America, with its unparalleled armaments and ambition, seems to many commentators a new empire. Others angrily reject the designation. What stakes would being an empire have for our identity at home and our role abroad? A preeminent American historian addresses these issues in light of the history of empires since antiquity. This elegantly written book examines the structure and impact of these mega-states and asks whether the United States shares their traits and behavior. Eschewing the standard focus on current U.S. foreign policy and the recent spate of pro- and anti-empire polemics, Charles S. Maier uses comparative history to test the relevance of a concept often invoked but not always understood. Marshaling a remarkable array of evidence—from Roman, Ottoman, Moghul, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and British experience—Maier outlines the essentials of empire throughout history. He then explores the exercise of U.S. power in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, carefully analyzing its economic and strategic sources and the nation’s relationship to predecessors and rivals. To inquire about empire is to ask what the United States has become as a result of its wealth, inventiveness, and ambitions. It is to confront lofty national aspirations with the realities of the violence that often attends imperial politics and thus to question both the costs and the opportunities of the current U.S. global ascendancy. With learning, dispassion, and clarity, Among Empires offers bold comparisons and an original account of American power. It confirms that the issue of empire must be a concern of every citizen.
