New York: Putnam, 1982. First? Edition. First? Printing. Hardcover. 24 cm, 431 pages, illustrations, index, DJ worn, soiled, and edge tears/chips. Includes Introduction, as well as a chronological narrative that covers the final year of the Carter Administration. Contains 15 black and white photographs between pages 160 and 161. Index. William Hamilton McWhorter Jordan (September 21, 1944 – May 20, 2008) was an American politician who served as Chief of Staff to President of the United States Jimmy Carter. In 1970, at the age of 26, Jordan ran Jimmy Carter's successful gubernatorial campaign, which included a Democratic primary election fight against former Governor Carl Sanders and a less eventful general election against the Republican Hal Suit. While serving as Governor Carter's executive assistant, Jordan wrote a lengthy memorandum detailing a strategy for winning the 1976 Democratic Primary. Years later, Jordan's memo served as the "game plan" for Carter's 1976 presidential bid. Jordan was a key advisor and strategist for Carter during the 1976 presidential campaign and during Carter's administration, serving as White House Chief of Staff in 1979–1980 (Carter, who took office in 1977, had previously not seen the need formally to appoint an aide to such a post). Jordan played a powerful role in the formulation of election strategies and government policies. In 1976 Jordan's youth and casual style gave him a media reputation as a fun-loving, partying, unsophisticated "good ole boy." This turned into a problem during the last year of the Carter administration, when Jordan became a lightning rod for critics of the president across the political spectrum. More

New York, N.Y. Twelve [Hachette Book Group, Inc.], 2009. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. x, 532 pages. Includes Prologue, Acknowledgments, Bibliography, and Index. Chapters include Family; Brotherhood; On My Own; and Renewal. Edward Moore "Ted" Kennedy (February 22, 1932-August 25, 2009) was a Senator from Massachusetts and a member of the Democratic Party. He was the second most senior member of the Senate when he died and was the fourth-longest-serving senator in United States history, having served there for almost 47 years. Kennedy entered the Senate in a November 1962 special election to fill the seat once held by his brother John. Kennedy was known for his charisma and oratorical skills. His 1968 eulogy for his brother Robert and his 1980 rallying cry for modern American liberalism were among his best-known speeches. He became recognized as "The Lion of the Senate" through his long tenure and influence. In this landmark autobiography, five years in the making, Senator Edward M. Kennedy tells his extraordinary personal story--of his legendary family, politics, and fifty years at the center of national events. For the first time, he describes his heartbreak and years of struggle in the wake of the deaths of his family members. Through it all, he describes his work in the Senate on the major issues of our time--civil rights, Vietnam, Watergate, the quest for peace in Northern Ireland--and the cause of his life: improved health care for all Americans, a fight influenced by his own experiences in hospitals. His life has been marked by tragedy and perseverance, love of family, and an abiding faith. There have been controversies and he addresses them with unprecedented candor. More
