Hardback. Zustand: Good. Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did, so the saying goes, but she did it backwards and in high heels. Faith Whittlesey popularized this quotation during the 1980s, and many books attribute the line to her. The message clearly resonated with a generation of American men and women coming to age in the late 20th century, when all things seemed possible. In this book Faith Whittlesey gives concrete meaning to the quotation through her life and career as an effective Madam Ambassador in the worlds of both money and politics. Raised in western New York State by highly motivated Irish-American parents of limited means, she worked to reach an eminent position as Ronald Reagan s Ambassador to Switzerland (twice), and to serve as the highest-ranking woman on Reagan s White House staff from 1983 1985. There she occupied the West Wing office soon to be Hillary Clinton s, and as a widow (since 1974) with three children provided a female influence of her own to a presidential culture well before it was fashionable.In addition to her activities in U.S. policy and politics, for more than 30 years Whittlesey has proven to be one of the most important liaisons between the United States and Switzerland, a sister republic as well as financial superpower. Whether operating from her second floor office in the White House s West Wing or the bucolic Ambassador s residence in Bern, Switzerland, Whittlesey made a practice to advocate Reagan s policies through thoughtful debate and persuasive argumentation.After leaving government service, she practiced private-sector diplomacy, serving from 1989 as Chairman and then Emeritus of the American Swiss Foundation, which endeavors to promote understanding between the two nations, organizing several private high-level delegations to visit China, and participating, both publicly and also at times behind the scenes, in discussion of the most significant public policy issues of recent decades.This book provides a fascinating look into how one woman, despite daunting obstacles, was able to achieve exceptional influence, thence use her position for the furtherance of common good.REVIEWS tells the story of the political career of a remarkable and sometimes polarizing political figure Philadelphia Inquirer.…

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Zustand: New condition. 1st Palgrave Macmillan paperback ed. Palgrave Macmillan, 2008. We have only this one copy, but it is available now and ready to ship today from Henderson, Nevada. New and unread in near PERFECT condition. The cover has only a tiny bit of very mild shelfwear (like you sometimes find in any new book store). Bright and shiny. NO chips, tears or fading. Square and tight. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked -- obviously never read. Bound in the white pictorial wraps, illustrated in red and black. From the publisher: "According to most political and religious scholars and pundits, JFK's victory in 1960 symbolized America's evolution from a Protestant nation to a pluralist community that included Catholics as all citizens. However, if the presidential election of 1960 was indeed a turning point for American Catholics, how do we explain the failure of any Catholic - in over forty years - to repeat Kennedy's accomplishment? In this exhaustively researched study that fuses political, cultural, social and intellectual history, Thomas Carty challenges the assumption that JFK's successful campaign for the Presidency ended decades, if not centuries, of religious and political tension between American Catholics and Protestants, paving a new role for Catholics in American presidential politics." Some reviews: "Superbly researched and very timely. Thomas Carty offers a fresh and useful vantage point for analysis of the endlessly interesting 1960 presidential campaign." - John McGreevy, Professor of History, University of Notre Dame, author of Catholicism and American Freedom: A History. "Thomas Carty's treatment of John F. Kennedy's Catholicism and how it influenced the outcome of the 1960 campaign is the most influential since Theodore H. White's classic book, The Making of the President, 1960. A timely and important work." - John Kenneth White, Professor of Politics, The Catholic University of America. "It is an axiom that 'the Catholic issue' embroiled the 1960 campaign, but this book is the first to take us beyond folklore to scholarship. Scrupulously argued and widely researched, A Catholic in the White House? examines the varieties of anti-Catholic concerns and phobias in 1960 and their impact. It captures the flavor of that riveting campaign and shrewdly analyzes the role of Catholicism in national politics both before and since 1960." - Richard M. Fried, University of Illinois at Chicago "Religion, and Catholicism in particular, informs U.S. political life in subtle ways that often escape notice. In an engaging demonstration of this dynamic, Thomas Carty skillfully explores the multiple contexts and players that shaped John F. Kennedy's successful bid for the nation's highest office, from the role of Catholic anti-communism during the Cold War, to Kennedy's complex relationships with Protestants and liberals. A Catholic in the White House? will be required reading for those who wish to understand the importance of 'the Catholic issue' in American presidential politics, from the candidacy of Al Smith in 1928 to that of John Kerry in 2004." - R. Scott Appleby, Professor of History, University of Notre Dame "Thomas Carty's A Catholic in the White House? is the first comprehensive scholarly examination of the 'Catholic issue' in the 1960 election. Carty provides a rich historical context, then explores the role of evangelical and mainstream Protestants, political liberals, and Catholics as they confronted the Kennedy candidacy and campaign. His treatment of the campaign includes original in-depth examination of the vote in key states. This is an important, timely book which deserves attention from everyone interested in American politics." - David J.
