New York, NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 1991. Second printing before publication. Hardcover. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. [10], 325, [1] p. Stamp of former owner inside front cover. Inscribed on half-title. Carl Hiaasen (born March 12, 1953) is an American journalist, columnist, and novelist. After becoming an investigative reporter, Hiaasen began writing novels. His first three were co-authored with fellow journalist William Montalbano: Powder Burn (1981), Trap Line (1982), and A Death in China (1984). His first solo novel, Tourist Season (1986), featured a group of eco-warriors who kidnap the Orange Bowl Queen. The book's main character was whimsically memorialized by Jimmy Buffett in "The Ballad of Skip Wiley." In all, eighteen of Hiaasen's novels and nonfiction books have appeared on the New York Times Best Seller lists. His work has been translated into 34 languages. Hiaasen is also noted as the person who helped bring the young adult fantasy novel Eragon to the public. The book, written by Christopher Paolini, was self-published and self-promoted without much attention until it came to the notice of Hiaasen's wife, Fenia, in 2002, during a trip to Montana. Hiaasen immediately recommended the novel to one of his editors at the publishing house Alfred A. Knopf. The book went on to become an astounding success, marking the start of a series that sold over 30 million copies worldwide. More

Oklahoma: 2 Cities Press, 2021. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. xix, [1], 466, [2] pages. Foreword by Frank Keating. Illustrations (some with color). Endnotes. Bibliography. Index. The author wrote that when he completed my Ph.D. in Sociology at the University of Virginia in 2007, I assumed I would build a career in the company of scholars. But life had other plans. George Records, a businessman and civic leader in my hometown, Oklahoma City, asked me to write a book about his family and the bank he founded. That took me back to the Pennsylvania and New York frontiers, where his and his wife’s ancestors personified America’s pioneering and entrepreneurial spirit. About the same time, I went on the Oklahoma Historical Society’s payroll to research banking and business history in my native state. I turned that into a book project and wrote a two-volume history of banking in Oklahoma. When BancFirst President and CEO David Rainbolt asked me to write a corporate history for the bank’s top brass and key customers, I published it as a 2 Cities Press book. Recently, he had an opportunity to write a biography of former U.S. Attorney Bill Price, the biggest corruption buster in Oklahoma history and, as noted by Fifth District Congressman Tom Cole, the best governor Oklahoma never had.

Foreword. Introduction. Illustrations. Jack Holland (4 June 1947 – 14 May 2004) was an Irish journalist, novelist, and poet who built a reputation chronicling "The Troubles" in his native Northern Ireland. He published articles, short stories, four novels, and seven works of non-fiction, mostly dealing with the politics and cultural life of Northern Ireland. His last book, Misogyny: The World's Oldest Prejudice, was something of a departure from his usual writings, and its original publisher abandoned the finished manuscript shortly after Holland's death, which followed a brief struggle with cancer. However, the book was later published posthumously by a different publisher. He worked briefly In 1976 for the BBC Northern Ireland, where he was a researcher for the weekly news program Spotlight, working alongside Jeremy Paxman and other journalists. In 1977, he moved to New York City where he earned his living there as a freelance journalist, writing for many publications, most notably The Irish Echo, where his weekly column "A View North" had a devoted following. In the 1990s, he became a lecturer at the New York University School of Journalism, he worked for Channel 4 in London. His knowledge of the Northern Irish political situation and his reporting of the terrorist conflict earned him the respect of the public and of influential policy-makers in Washington, London, and Dublin such as statesmen Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton. the President and Prime Minister of Ireland, and the Minister of State for Northern Ireland.

John Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895 – May 2, 1972) was an American law-enforcement administrator who served as the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Calvin Coolidge appointed Hoover as director of the Bureau of Investigation, the predecessor to the FBI, in 1924. In June 1935, Hoover became instrumental in founding the FBI, where he remained director for 37 years until his death in May 1972. Hoover expanded the FBI into a larger crime-fighting agency and instituted a number of modernizations to policing technology, such as a centralized fingerprint file and forensic laboratories. Hoover also established and expanded a national blacklist, referred to as the FBI Index or Index List. Later in life and after his death, Hoover became a controversial figure as charges of abuses of power began to surface. Hoover was concerned about what he claimed was subversion, and under his leadership, the FBI investigated tens of thousands of suspected subversives and radicals. According to critics, Hoover tended to exaggerate the dangers of these alleged subversives and many times overstepped his bounds in his pursuit of eliminating that perceived threat. Due to the FBI's aggressive targeting, by 1957 CPUSA membership had dwindled to less than 10,000, of whom some 1,500 were informants for the FBI. More
