For more than a decade, countless journalists and biographers have struggled to pin down the character of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Yet despite all the scrutiny, no one~until now~has explained her many contradictions and deceptions. She's a wife, but she shows no wifely instincts. She's a mother, but she isn't maternal. She's a feminist, but she rode to power on her husband's coattails. She's strong and assertive, but she has abetted decades of chronic infidelity. She inspires fierce loyalty among her followers, but she frequently stabs them in the back. In this controversial and eagerly anticipated book distinguished journalist Edward Klein produces secret documents and stunning evidence from sources close to Hillary Clinton to show just how much she has been willing to lie, bully, cheat, and manipulate people in her quest for power. Klein reveals a pattern of chronic bad behavior during a decades~long effort to become America's first woman president, no matter what the cost. The Truth About Hillary contains shocking new accounts of key moments in Hillary's private and political life, giving readers a rare opportunity to assess the true character behind her public mask. Among the many eye~opening revelations: How the culture of lesbianism at Wellesley College shaped Hillary's politics. How she acted as a secret partisan agent of Ted Kennedy's during the Nixon impeachment. How she set up an elaborate system to monitor her husband's girlfriends. What she really knew early on about Monica Lewinsky and hid from the country. How her image makeover as a moderate senator is a sham. Americans know that when it comes to political leadership, character counts far more than any policy position or speech. And as they begin to size up Hillary Clinton's fitness for the highest office in the land, they will turn to Edward Klein for the truth that Hillary Clinton doesn't want the public to know.

Now he has written an unflinching memoir of his half~century career, sharing previously undisclosed details that will fascinate readers and force historians to rethink many controversies. Starting from a middle~class childhood in Illinois, Rumsfeld had a rapid rise that won him early acclaim. He shows us what it was like growing up during the Great Depression and World War II, going to Princeton on scholarships, serving as a naval aviator, then getting his first political job on Capitol Hill during the Eisenhower administration. He recalls how he won a seat in the House of Representatives at age thirty and what he experienced as a Republican in Congress during the Kennedy and Johnson years. We also follow him back to the executive branch as he took on key cabinet positions in the Nixon and Ford administrations, including his service as the youngest ever secretary of defense, just after the trauma of Vietnam. And we learn about the challenges he later faced as a CEO in the private sector and during his special assignments for President Reagan, including a face~to~face meeting with Saddam Hussein in 1983. All of that would have been enough material for a fascinating book. But as 2001 began, Rumsfeld's greatest challenges lay ahead of him. At age sixty~eight he returned to the Pentagon as President Bush's secretary of defense, with a mandate to transform the military for a new century. Just nine months later he would confront the worst acts of terrorism in American history, followed by unexpected wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. And he would be on the firing line for many controversies, from the revelations of abuse at Abu Ghraib prison to allegations of torture at Guantanamo Bay. Known and Unknown reveals what happened behind the scenes during the critical moments of the Bush years, as the President's inner circle debated how best to defend our country. It is based not only on Rumsfeld's memory but also on hundreds of previously unreleased documents from throughout his career. It also features his blunt, firsthand opinions about some of the world's best~known figures, from Margaret Thatcher to Elvis Presley, from Henry Kissinger to Colin Powell, and about each American president from Dwight D. Eisenhower to George W. Bush. In a famous press briefing, Rumsfeld once remarked that "there are also unknown unknowns . things we do not know we don't know." His book makes us realize just how much we didn't know. DONALD RUMSFELD was the thirteenth and twenty~first u.s. secretary of defense.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. New condition red boards with gold spine lettering contained in a new condition photographic non price-clipped dust jacket. Includes Preface and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with color drawings. "Christmas has become synonymous with shopping, overindulging, competition,…and stress. But according to Mike Huckabee (who was a pastor before getting into politics), that was never God's intention. Going back to the Nativity, Christmas is supposed to be about simple things: faith, love, family, and hope. The hard part in today's crazy world is remembering that those simple things are the most precious of all. Now Huckabee recounts twelve Christmas memories - often funny, sometimes deeply moving - that range from his childhood in Arkansas to his years as a young husband and father to his time as a governor and then a presidential candidate. These true stories will help you smile, take a deep breath, and maybe slow down your own holiday treadmill. For instance, as kids Mike and his sister would sneak open their gifts before Christmas, play with them, then rewrap them so their parents wouldn't notice. The plan worked great for a few years until ne Christmas morning when young Mike unwrapped a brand-new football .that was covered in mud. That led to a powerful lesson about patience. In 1966, like millions of preteens, Mike was obsessed with the Beatles. He dug in his heels, telling his parents that if they wouldn't buy him a guitar for Christmas, he didn't want anything at all. He was selfish, stubborn, and obnoxious, with no idea what it would take for working-class parents to find an extra $99. It took many years for him to understand the sacrifice they made for that life-changing gift - or how it connected to the Lord's own sacrifice. If you're looking for a little clarity, sanity, and inspiration at this insane time of year, you're sure to enjoy A Simple Christmas." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. New condition blue boards with red spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Introduction: "If It Can Happen in Wisconsin, It Can Happen Anywhere"; Conclusion: Unintimidated; Postscript: "Sc…ott, Don't Spend Money You Don't Have"; Acknowledgments; Notes; and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "In 2011, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker's chances of staying in office looked bleak. Angry protesters - furious about his collective bargaining proposal - swarmed Madison, camped in the capitol, and attempted to block the passage of the governor's reform legislation. Teachers unions accused him of sabotaging education. His approval numbers fell to the basement, and with the national media's descent on Wisconsin, liberals denounce "Dead Man Walker." He found himself fighting for his reforms, fielding death threats, and facing an unprecedented recall election. But then something happened. Walker's policies began to work. His constituents realized they were better off with his leadership, and in June 2012, he became the first governor in American history to survive a recall attempt, winning with a higher share of the vote than he had for his original election. In Unintimidated, Governor Walker tells the story of his fight to save Wisconsin from a $3.6 billion budget deficit while simultaneously improving the state's schools and public infrastructure. He describes how he stood for his convictions against enormous political pressure and personal attacks. He explains how he knew his reforms would work, based on his experience as a local official. Speaking from the perspective earned from his resounding victory, he outlines lessons conservatives on the national stage can learn from his success, such as: Change the polls, not your principles; Don't accept the false choices presented to you; You can reform entitlements and survive; Austerity is not the answer; Never stop reforming. Walker is living proof that conservatives need not move to the center to win. He argues that Republicans must offer Americans big, bold, positive solutions for our nation's challenges - and have the courage to implement them. Walker has shown that even President Obama will back down when faced with reforms promoted with common sense and courage." - excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Includes List of Other Books by Mike Huckabee; Prologue; Introduction; Epilogue: A Simple Election; Ackn…owledgments; Notes and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white diagrams. "These twelve essential truths will have you nodding in agreement whether you're a Republican, an Independent, or even an open-minded Democrat. They can help us put aside our differences, tone down the partisan rancor, and return to the simple principles of the Founding Fathers: liberty, justice, personal freedom, and civic virtue. And they can help us tackle even the most seemingly complicated of today's problems. For instance: You can't spend what you don't have; you can't borrow what you can't pay back. Families, businesses, towns, cities, and states all have to balance their budgjest or face dire consequences. Why shouldn't the federal government be held to the same standard? And if that means making some hard choices now, it's far better than burdening our kids and grandkids.The further you drift from shore, the more likely you are to be lost at sea. The Founders expected the federal government to be subordinate to state and local governments.Bullies in the playground understand only one thing. There's a time and place for diplomacy, but we can't protect the country just by negotiating with our enemies. We need a strong national defense and a counter-terrorism policy that focuses on effectiveness, not political correctness. The most important form of government is the family. In the long run, the only way to ensure prosperity, safety, and equal opportunity is to make sure we raise our children to be ethical and productive citizens. No bureaucracy can replace parents in that essential role, so we have to help parents do their job. A Simple Government will inspire any American looking forward to a better future." - excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Lagin, Daniel (illustrations) (illustrator).
