Its pilot, who had parachuted to safety, was Rudolf Hess, the Deputy-Führer of the German Reich. Hess's remarkable solo flight was immediately dismissed in both Britain and Germany as the deranged act of a disordered mind. He was disowned by Hitler, and Winston Churchill's government insisted that his unexpected arrival on British soil was of no lasting consequence.\u003cbr\u003eNevertheless, the mysterious circumstances of the flight, and Hess's unbroken silence during fifty subsequent years of imprisonment, have led to endless speculation as to his true motives. Until now, no one has found the crucial pieces of evidence which prove that a small group of men within the British government and intelligence services were in fact conducting a brilliantly clever plot which was not only to lead to Hess's flight, but would also have a decisive impact on the course of the war.\u003cbr\u003eMartin Allen's researches in archives in Britain, Germany and the United States have unearthed many documents previously undiscovered by historians.

The Forgotten Men and Women of America were forgotten no more, because the U.S.A finally had a President who PUT AMERICA FIRST! Through his Pro-American Policies on Trade, Taxes, Energy, Regulation, Immigration, and Healthcare, President Trump ushered in a period of Unprecedented Economic Growth, Job Creation, Soaring Wages, and Booming Incomes. Median Household Income reached the Highest Level EVER Recorded. Middle Class Family Income increased more than five times from the previous Administration. Unemployment reached its Lowest Rate in Half a Century. African American, Hispanic American, and Asian American Unemployment reached their Lowest Levels Ever Recorded. President Trump boldly unleashed American Energy, and our Nation soon became the World's Number One Producer of Oil and Natural Gas in the World. Under President Trump, America led the World in reducing Carbon Emissions. As a Steward of our Natural Resources, President Trump signed The Great American Outdoors Act, the Most Significant Investment in our National Parks since Theodore Roosevelt. As President, Donald J. Trump was an unwavering Champion for our Nation's Heroes in Uniform. He always stood proudly with our Country's Extraordinary and Courageous Police Officers, Sheriffs, and Law Enforcement Professionals. He fought relentlessly for our Nation's Military Service Members, and invested Trillions of Dollars in the United States Armed Forces to ensure our Warriors had the Tools, Support, and Resources they need. He fundamentally reformed the Department of Veterans Affairs, ending the past Era of Scandal, and ensuring our Country's Treasured Veterans were given the Treatment and Care they have earned and deserve. Understanding that Border Security is National Security, President Trump achieved the Most Secure Border in United States History, and signed a series of Historic Agreements with our Partners in the Western Hemisphere to stop Smuggling, Trafficking, and Illegal Migration. He ended Systemic Asylum Fraud, reduced Refugee Admissions to the Lowest Levels, blocked the Entry of Terrorists and National Security Threats, and banned Unsafe Travel from Regions where Proper Screening and Vetting cannot occur. By restoring America's Prestige, and advancing a Policy of Principled Realism, President Trump forged Historic Peace Agreements in the Middle East, withdrew Troops from Endless Conflicts, confronted Oppressive Communist and Socialist Regimes, advanced Stability around the World, and strengthened the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and other International Alliances and Partnerships by getting other Nations to contribute their fair share. When the coronavirus plague arrived from China, afflicting every Nation around the Globe, Donald J. Trump acted early and decisively to ban Travel from China and Europe, which saved countless lives.

Drawing on interviews with over one hundred of the fortieth president's aides, friends, and family members, as well as thousands of newly available documents, Boot provides \"the best biography of Ronald Reagan to date\" (Robert Mann).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The story begins not in star-studded Hollywood but in the cradle of the Midwest, small-town Illinois, where Reagan was born in 1911 to Nelle Clyde Wilson, a devoted Disciples of Christ believer, and Jack Reagan, a struggling, alcoholic salesman. Boot vividly creates a portrait of a handsome young man, indeed a much-vaunted lifeguard, whose early successes mirrored those of Horatio Alger. And contextualizing Reagan's life against American history, Boot re-creates the world in which Reagan transitioned from local Iowa sportscaster to budding screen actor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The world of Hollywood from the 1930s to the 1950s would prove significant, not only in Reagan's coming-of-age in such classics as \u003cem\u003eKnute Rockne\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKings Row\u003c\/em\u003e but during the twilight of his film career, when he played opposite a chimpanzee in \u003cem\u003eBedtime for Bonzo\u003c\/em\u003e, and then his eventual emergence as a television host of \u003cem\u003eGeneral Electric Theater\u003c\/em\u003e, which established his bona fides as one of the leading conservative voices of the time. Indeed, the leap to California governor in 1966 seemed almost preordained, in which Reagan became a bellwether for a nation in the throes of a generational shift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Reagan's 1980 presidential election augured a shift that continues into this century. Boot writes not as a partisan but as a historian seeking to set the story straight. He explains how Reagan was an ideologue but also a supreme pragmatist who signed pro-abortion and gun control bills as governor, cut deals with Democrats in both Sacramento and Washington, and befriended Mikhail Gorbachev to end the Cold War. A master communicator, Reagan revived America's spirits after the traumas of Vietnam and Watergate. But Boot also shows how Reagan was armored in obliviousness. He traces Reagan's opposition to civil rights over forty years, reveals how he neglected the exploding AIDS epidemic, and details how America experienced a level of income inequality not seen since the Gilded Age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With its revelatory insights, \u003cem\u003eReagan: His Life and Legend\u003c\/em\u003e is no apologia, depicting a man with a good-versus-evil worldview derived from his moralistic upbringing and Hollywood westerns. Providing fresh examinations of \"trickle-down economics,\" the Cold War's end, the Iran-Contra affair, as well as a nuanced portrait of Reagan's family, this definitive biography is as compelling a presidential biography as any in recent decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 880\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.9 x 9.2 x 6.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 10, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52204506317105,"sku":"9780871409447","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/EHM_FnUEDW9780871409447.webp?v=1782992234"},{"product_id":"grant-paperback","title":"Grant - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eRon Chernow\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller and \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 10 Best Books of 2017 \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Eminently readable but thick with import . . . \u003ci\u003eGrant\u003c\/i\u003e hits like a Mack truck of knowledge.\" \u003cb\u003e--\u003cb\u003eTa-Nehisi Coates\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePulitzer Prize winner Ron Chernow returns with a sweeping and dramatic portrait of one of our most compelling generals and presidents, Ulysses S.

But these stereotypes don't come close to capturing him, as Chernow shows in his masterful biography, the first to provide a complete understanding of the general and president whose fortunes rose and fell with dizzying speed and frequency. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Before the Civil War, Grant was flailing. His business ventures had ended dismally, and despite distinguished service in the Mexican War he ended up resigning from the army in disgrace amid recurring accusations of drunkenness. But in war, Grant began to realize his remarkable potential, soaring through the ranks of the Union army, prevailing at the battle of Shiloh and in the Vicksburg campaign, and ultimately defeating the legendary Confederate general Robert E. Lee. Along the way, Grant endeared himself to President Lincoln and became his most trusted general and the strategic genius of the war effort. Grant's military fame translated into a two-term presidency, but one plagued by corruption scandals involving his closest staff members. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e More important, he sought freedom and justice for black Americans, working to crush the Ku Klux Klan and earning the admiration of Frederick Douglass, who called him \"the vigilant, firm, impartial, and wise protector of my race.\" After his presidency, he was again brought low by a dashing young swindler on Wall Street, only to resuscitate his image by working with Mark Twain to publish his memoirs, which are recognized as a masterpiece of the genre. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With lucidity, breadth, and meticulousness, Chernow finds the threads that bind these disparate stories together, shedding new light on the man whom Walt Whitman described as \"nothing heroic... and yet the greatest hero.\" Chernow's probing portrait of Grant's lifelong struggle with alcoholism transforms our understanding of the man at the deepest level. This is America's greatest biographer, bringing movingly to life one of our finest but most underappreciated presidents. The definitive biography, \u003ci\u003eGrant\u003c\/i\u003e is a grand synthesis of painstaking research and literary brilliance that makes sense of all sides of Grant's life, explaining how this simple Midwesterner could at once be so ordinary and so extraordinary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNamed one of the best books of the year by Goodreads -\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eAmazon \u003ci\u003e- The New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e- Newsday\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e- \u003c\/i\u003eBookPage \u003ci\u003e- \u003c\/i\u003eBarnes and Noble \u003ci\u003e- Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRon Chernow \u003c\/b\u003eis the prizewinning author of six previous books and the recipient of the 2015 National Humanities Medal.

Hated and hailed, excoriated and revered, Abraham Lincoln was at the pinnacle of American power when implacable secessionists gave no quarter in a clash of visions bound up with money, race, identity, and faith. In him we can see the possibilities of the presidency as well as its limitations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt once familiar and elusive, Lincoln tends to be seen as the greatest of American presidents--a remote icon--or as a politician driven more by calculation than by conviction. This illuminating new portrait gives us a very human Lincoln--an imperfect man whose moral antislavery commitment, essential to the story of justice in America, began as he grew up in an antislavery Baptist community; who insisted that slavery was a moral evil; and who sought, as he put it, to do right as God gave him to see the right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book tells the story of Lincoln from his birth on the Kentucky frontier in 1809 to his leadership during the Civil War to his tragic assassination in 1865: his rise, his self-education, his loves, his bouts of depression, his political failures, his deepening faith, and his persistent conviction that slavery must end. In a nation shaped by the courage of the enslaved of the era and by the brave witness of Black Americans, Lincoln's story illustrates the ways and means of politics in a democracy, the roots and durability of racism, and the capacity of conscience to shape events.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJon Meacham\u003c\/b\u003e is a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer.

Lincoln rebuked his friend for failing to oppose slavery. But he added: \"If for this you and I must differ, differ we must,\" and said they would be friends forever. Throughout his life and political career, Lincoln often agreed to disagree. Democracy demanded it, since even an adversary had a vote. The man who went on to become America's sixteenth president has assumed many roles in our historical consciousness, but most notable is that he was, unapologetically, a politician. And as Steve Inskeep argues, it was \u003ci\u003ebecause \u003c\/i\u003ehe was willing to engage in politics--meeting with critics, sometimes working with them and other times outwitting them--that he was able to lead a social revolution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDiffer We Must\u003c\/i\u003e, Inskeep illuminates Lincoln's life through sixteen encounters, some well-known, some obscure, but all imbued with new significance. As the host of NPR's \u003ci\u003eMorning Edition \u003c\/i\u003efor almost two decades, Inskeep has mastered the art of bridging divides and building constructive debate in interviews; here, he brings his skills to bear on a prior master, forming a fresh and compelling narrative of Lincoln's life. With rich detail and enlightening commentary, Inskeep expands our understanding of a politician who held strong to his moral compass while navigating between corrosive political factions, one who began his career in the minority party and not only won the majority but succeeded in uniting a nation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve Inskeep \u003c\/b\u003eis a cohost of NPR's\u003ci\u003e Morning Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, the most widely heard radio program in the United States, and of NPR's \u003ci\u003eUp First\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the nation's most popular podcasts.

Rather than a vestige of an idealistic past, U Thant's fight for peace is central to a fresh understanding of our world today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 9.1 x 6.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 09, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52204602458417,"sku":"9781324051978","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/7kknTHGkfG9781324051978.webp?v=1781842401"},{"product_id":"the-history-of-world-war-ii-a-graphic-novel-retelling-of-the-20th-centurys-defining-war-hardcover","title":"The History of World War II: A Graphic Novel Retelling of the 20th Century's Defining War - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eArnaud de la Croix\u003c\/b\u003e (Author), \u003cb\u003eVicente Cifuentes\u003c\/b\u003e (Illustrator)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA visual reckoning with the war that redefined the modern world.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow do you capture the sheer scale, the human cost, and the geopolitical chess match of the Second World War in a single volume?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe History of World War II\u003c\/i\u003e, acclaimed historian Arnaud de la Croix and master illustrator Vicente Cifuentes deliver a definitive, chronological chronicle of the conflict.

This \"northern journey\" came at a moment of tension for the new nation, one in whose founding these Virginians and political allies had played key roles. The Constitution was ratified and President Washington was in his first term of office. Whether the country could overcome regional and political differences and remain unified, however, was still very much in question. Hence why some observers at the time wondered whether this excursion into Federalist New England by the two most prominent southern Democratic-Republicans, both future presidents, had an ulterior motive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMadison, maintained that the journey was for \"health, recreation, and curiosity.\" He and Jefferson needed a break from their public responsibilities, so off they set. Along the way, they took notes on the ravages of the Hessian Fly, an insect that had been devastating wheat crops. While in Vermont, they focused on the sugar maple tree, which many hoped might offer a domestic alternative to slave-grown sugar cane imports. An encounter with a free Black farmer at Fort George resulted in a journal entry that illuminates their attitudes toward slavery and race. A meeting with members of the Unkechaug tribe on Long Island led to a vocabulary project that preoccupied Jefferson for decades, and which remains relevant today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Northern Journey was also about friendship. Madison later recalled that the trip made Jefferson and him \"immediate companions,\" solidifying a bond with almost no peer in the annals of American history, one that thrived for fifty years. Jefferson declared at the end of his life, that his friendship with Madison had been \"a source of constant happiness\" to him.

In exploring the complex dynamic between the two, Morton argues that, regardless of whether the attitudes of the royal family were warm or icy toward Churchill, their relationship was central to the twentieth-century history of the British monarchy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Churchill family's intricate relationship with the Crown, to Winston's initially begrudging but ultimately fruitful partnership with George VI, to his enduring fondness for Queen Elizabeth II, this fascinating narrative biography sheds new light on the ways the Crown not only shaped Winston Churchill's career, but the ways in which Churchill shepherded the monarchy into the modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 640\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.56 x 9.02 x 6.07 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 21, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Print:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52204633850161,"sku":"9781335002235","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/64z11WSA8q9781335002235.webp?v=1781827492"},{"product_id":"churchills-citadel-chartwell-and-the-gatherings-before-the-storm-hardcover","title":"Churchill's Citadel: Chartwell and the Gatherings Before the Storm - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eKatherine Carter\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA major new history of Churchill in the 1930s, showing how his meetings at Chartwell, his country home, strengthened his fight against the Nazis\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the 1930s, amidst an impending crisis in Europe, Winston Churchill found himself out of government and with little power.

She describes a nightmare of traumas, destructive relationships, and a tragic combination of neglect and abuse. She explains how specific events and general family patterns created the damaged man who occupied the Oval Office, including the strange and harmful relationship between Fred Trump and his two oldest sons, Fred Jr. and Donald. A firsthand witness to countless holiday meals and interactions, Mary brings an incisive wit and unexpected humor to sometimes grim, often confounding family events. She recounts in unsparing detail everything from her uncle Donald's place in the family spotlight and Ivana's penchant for regifting to her grandmother's frequent injuries and illnesses and the appalling way Donald, Fred Trump's favorite son, dismissed and derided him when he began to succumb to Alzheimer's.

We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating \u003ci\u003eDeepwater Horizon\u003c\/i\u003e blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Promised Land\u003c\/i\u003e is extraordinarily intimate and introspective--the story of one man's bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of \"hope and change,\" and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama's conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBarack Obama\u003c\/b\u003e was the 44th president of the United States, elected in November 2008 and holding office for two terms.

He adds detail and emotion about his youth in rural Georgia that he described in his magnificent An Hour Before Daylight. He writes about racism and the isolation of the Carters. He describes the brutality of the hazing regimen at Annapolis, and how he nearly lost his life twice serving on submarines and his amazing interview with Admiral Rickover. He describes the profound influence his mother had on him, and how he admired his father even though he didn't emulate him. He admits that he decided to quit the Navy and later enter politics without consulting his wife, Rosalynn, and how appalled he is in retrospect. In his \"warm and detailed memoir\" (Los Angeles Times), Carter tells what he is proud of and what he might do differently. He discusses his regret at losing his re-election, but how he and Rosalynn pushed on and made a new life and second and third rewarding careers. He is frank about the presidents who have succeeded him, world leaders, and his passions for the causes he cares most about, particularly the condition of women and the deprived people of the developing world. \"Always warm and human...even inspirational\" (Buffalo News), A Full Life is a wise and moving look back from this remarkable man.
