Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a politician, what you say and how you say it is almost as important as what you do. Political careers are made based not only on substantive achievements, but also on style, presentation, speeches, and debates. Dole's is no exception. After a career in government service spanning six presidents, from Lyndon B. Johnson to George H. W. Bush, she became widely recognized as a leading Republican politician in her own right after her 1996 speech at the GOP convention. In 1999 she spent six months campaigning for president before dropping out of the race due to a lack of adequate funds, and in 2002 she was elected U.S. Senator from North Carolina. In this biography of Dole, the authors show how she has been able to advance the causes she cares about, as well as her political career, through her consummate skills as a public speaker. Dole's career included service in two cabinets, as Secretary of Transportation (Reagan) and Secretary of Labor (Bush), and she also served as president of the American Red Cross. The authors quote liberally from her speeches and interviews to illustrate the events of her political career and to place her choices—personal, career, and political—in the context of the times and places in which she grew up and came of age. Her trajectory—from Southern belle debutante to Harvard Law School student and from political wife to presidential candidate and U.S. senator—is fascinating, and the deftness with which she has been able to deflect the criticisms thrown her way is instructive for women of both political parties and for politicians of both genders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Jeff Singleton shows, the rapid expansion of unemployment relief in the early 1930s generated pressures which led to the first federal welfare programs. However the process has received relatively little attention from historians, and unemployment relief does not play a major role in discussions of the current state of welfare. Singleton seeks not only to fill this gap, but to challenge popular interpretations of relief policy in the early 1930s. He shows that relief was expanding prior to the depression and that the modern aspects of social policy implemented in the 1920s profoundly influenced the response of the welfare system to the early stages of the economic crisis. Relief under President Herbert Hoover was neither primarily voluntarist nor traditional. The first full-fledged federal welfare program was implemented under the Hoover administration by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The initial goals of the New Deal's Federal Emergency Relief Administration were to reduce the national relief caseload and the federal welfare role, while improving standards for those on the dole. The institutionalization of state-level welfare was a consequence of the failure of the 1935 reform program (the WPA and the Social Security Act) to eliminate the dole, not a product of conscious liberal policy. Singleton concludes by evaluating the 1996 Personal Responsibility Act in the context of these conclusions. If the dole was not a product of liberal reform, but, instead, arose to fill a policy vacuum, then it will be difficult to eliminate by legislative fiat unless states and the federal government are willing to finance relatively costly alternatives. A provocative analysis of interest to historians and social scientists concerned with American social and labor policy.

Bob Dole was a World War II hero, who enlisted in the Army's Enlisted Reserve Corps in December, 1942, a year after the United States formally joined World War II. In 1943, he was inducted into active duty and commissioned as second lieutenant after Officer Candidate School. While he was in combat in April, 1945, shortly before the end of World War II, he was seriously wounded near Castel d'Aiano in the Apennines mountains in Bologna, Italy. He suddenly discovered that he was unable to feel anything below his neck. He was unaware at the time that whatever it was that hit him had shattered his shoulder and right arm, damaging part of his spine. The injuries he sustained left him with numbness in the left arm and restricted mobility in his right arm.

Book excerpt: "This definitive, balanced work by Kansas City Star Washington Correspondent Jake H. Thompson, who has intensively covered Senator Bob Dole for more than five years, develops the senator's personal and professional life, providing insights into the complex inner workings of one of America's most important and influential politicians, whose next career step may well be this nation's highest office, or at least his party's nomination for that office. Dole has been deeply involved in some of the defining issues of the era, including World War II, Watergate, the surge of the Republican conservative movement, Operation Desert Storm and Republican opposition leader during the Clinton presidency." "From his early boyhood through his World War II experiences to his rise to chairman of the Republican Party to vice-presidential candidate with Gerald Ford to senatorial leader of the Republican Party, as well as perhaps its most prominent spokesman, Dole is placed at the center of what is sure to be a volatile and hard fought mid-term election in 1994, a proving and testing ground for the Presidential race in 1996." "Bob Dole: The Republicans' Man For All Seasons provides in-depth perspective on the man and his career, with over ninety new interviews by the author with the senator's family, friends and colleagues, including his wife Elizabeth Dole, former president George Bush and General Colin Powell."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
