Diplomat a.k.a. Unofficial Observer (1897–1967) was an American journalist, columnist, biographer and novelist. He notably wrote the syndicated column, "We the People", under his pen name Jay Franklin. He wrote over 30 books on a variety of subjects, including his detective novels about the character Dennis Tyler. In his column, he was one of the few who predicted Truman's victory in the 1948 presidential election. In 1941, Carter was appointed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to conduct investigation into the loyalty of Japanese American communities on the West Coast of the United States. Carter hired Curtis B. Munson to compile the Report on Japanese on the West Coast of the United States. He became the Rome correspondent for the London Daily Chronicle and the New York Times and this employment is referenced in the book's Note. More

DJ has some wear and soiling. Endpaper discoloration. Clarence Henley “Red” Cramer was the author of eight books, including this foundational biography of Cleveland notable, Newton D. Baker, Woodrow Wilson's Secretary of War. Cramer’s 1962 biography of Newton D. Baker, the brilliant mayor of Cleveland (1912–1916), who became Woodrow Wilson’s Secretary of War, revealed that F.D.R. had phoned Baker during the deadlocked 1932 Democratic convention to offer to throw his support to him, if Baker, the darling of the Stop Roosevelt forces, really wanted the nomination. He didn’t. Baker saw the presidency, wrote Cramer, as a four-year sentence to a glorified prison “without benefit of clergy or even the mollifying ministration of a parole board.” Cramer spent the bulk of his academic career with Case Western Reserve University. This work was based on the fullest possible research among official documents and Baker's public and private papers, many of which had never been examined before. As a result, this biography offers many original and intimate insights into the course of recent American history and the men who shaped it. More
