Beschreibung
Fine condition black boards with copper spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Foreword by President Jimmy Carter; Dedication; and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Signed and inscribed by the author in black marker on the blank first free front endpaper. "Part memoir, part cancer survival story, this moving book recounts the adventures and personal struggles of former White House chief-of-staff Hamilton Jordan. Jordan's life, like that of the fictional hero Forrest Gump. has echoed the collective national experience of his generation on many levels: from his youth in the Civil Rights-era South, to his tour as a civilian volunteer in Vietnam, to his tumultuous years in Washington, D.C., serving with idealism under Democratic president Jimmy Carter. And, in recent years, Jordan's life has been defined by another all-too-common event in our society: cancer. Not once, not twice, but three times since his years in the Carter administration, he has been diagnosed with this disease in various forms: non-Hodgkins lymphoma, melanoma, and prostate cancer. And each time, he strongly believes the keys to his survival have been a well-informed mind and a positive attitude. [The book] weaves together Jordan's reflections on his remarkable life rubbing elbows with history and his inspirational story of beating cancer. He discusses his years with President Carter and offers memorable anecdotes about his encounters with Martin Luther King Jr., President Johnson, McCarthy-era attorney Roy Cohn, the Shah of Iran, and a young upstart politician named Bill Clinton. He also offers practical advice about coping with cancer through a pro-active stance on research and treatment. A startling first-hand account of recent American history and an inspirational guide for millions of cancer sufferers, this is an unforgettable read." - from the inner front jacket flap.
