Modern biographies of Richard Nixon have been consumed with Watergate. All have missed arguably the most important perspective on Nixon as California's native son, the only U.S. president born and raised in California. By shifting the focus from Watergate and Washington to Nixon's deep, defining roots in California, Paul Carter boldly challenges common conceptions of the thirty-seventh president of the United States.

Harry Truman and Pablo Picasso were contemporaries and were both shaped by and shapers of the great events of the twentieth century—the man who painted Guernica and the man who authorized the use of atomic bombs against civilians. But in most ways, they couldn’t have been more different. Picasso was a communist, and probably the only thing Truman hated more than communists was modern art. Picasso was an indifferent father, a womanizer, and a millionaire. Truman was utterly devoted to his family. How did they come to be shaking hands in front of Picasso’s studio in the south of France?

On June 19, 1953, Harry Truman got up early, packed the trunk of his Chrysler New Yorker, and did something no other former president has done before or since: he hit the road. No Secret Service protection. No traveling press. Just Harry and his childhood sweetheart Bess off to visit old friends, take in a Broadway play, celebrate their wedding anniversary in the Big Apple, and blow a bit of the money he’d just received to write his memoirs. Hopefully incognito. In this lively history, author Matthew Algeo meticulously details how Truman’s plan to blend in went wonderfully awry.

A segunda edição foi lançada em 2019, após 580 dias de prisão em Curitiba, impedido de participar das eleições presidenciais de 2018, na qual era favorito.

You cannot understand the historic events of 2022 without understanding Zelensky. But the Zelensky effect is less about the man himself than about the civic nation he embodies: what makes Zelensky most extraordinary in war is his very ordinariness as a Ukrainian. The Zelensky Effect explains this paradox, exploring Ukraine's national history to show how its now-iconic president reflects the hopes and frustrations of the country's first 'independence generation'.

More than Trump explores the phenomenal support and following of Donald Trump and how that following existed before him and will continue after him. Trump is merely the lightning rod for the ideas and policies of Americans that want to maintain a lifestyle outlined in the founding documents.

Assim que Winston Churchill assumiu como primeiro-ministro do Reino Unido, Hitler invadiu a Holanda e a Bélgica. A Polônia e a Tchecoslováquia já haviam sucumbido e a evacuação de Dunquerque ocorreria duas semanas depois. Pelos doze meses seguintes, Hitler travaria uma incessante campanha de bombardeios, matando 45 mil britânicos. Coube a Churchill manter a nação unida e convencer o presidente americano Franklin Roosevelt de que era um aliado valioso―e com disposição para lutar até o fim.

Es común que los pueblos tumben los monumentos de héroes antiguos. Pero, para Nicolás Pernett, el problema no está en las estatuas, sino en los pedestales, donde se escriben las exageradas alabanzas que elevan a las figuras del pasado por encima del resto de mortales. En este riguroso y divertido libro de historia de Colombia, el autor nos invita a bajar del pedestal de la memoria a los presidentes de la nación, cuestionando su legado con datos que suelen omitirse en la historia tradicional, desde antes de la Independencia hasta nuestros días.

In April 1865, Richmond fell to the Union army and Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to his Northern counterpart, Ulysses S. Grant, at the Appomattox Court House. But the Civil War was far from over. Determined to keep Confederate dreams of secession alive, President Jefferson Davis and his cabinet fled the burning capital city. With Union troops in pursuit, the fugitives rallied loyalists across the South and made plans to escape to Cuba. Finally captured in Irwinville, Georgia, the former US senator and secretary of war became a prisoner of the American government.

Al verlo en el centro del Salón de Tesorería, un magno espacio construido para la realeza española del siglo XVI, me di cuenta de que no hablaba como presidente, político o siquiera líder social, sino como un pastor espiritual que se dirige a su grey. La primera vez que fui a la mañanera, vi a Andrés Manuel López Obrador de una manera distinta. No era aquel que conocí en 1995, en Villahermosa,platicando sobre el futuro del movimiento social que ya encabezaba. Tampoco era el hombre que tomaba pozos petroleros ni el candidato en permanente campaña.

This book written ostensibly by the writer "Eliakim the Scribe" was a book written about the tyrant of the time: Napoleon Bonaparte. Written in early modern English, the book feels like a reading of history, in the language of the Holy Bible. The history of Napoleon Bonaparte is recounted and the listener learns the ups and downs of the reign of one of the greatest conquerors in history. As one of the few popular works written in the 1800s in the language of the 1600s, the book is unique and an enjoyable listen in audiobook format.
