New York: Random House, 2013. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xxxi, [1], 631, [9] pages. Footnotes. Illustrations. Index. Dust jacket has minor wear and soiling. Ink underlining and comments noted in several places. Derived from a Kirkus review: An insightful, unique view of the multiple Pulitzer-winning liberal icon Arthur Schlesinger Jr. (1917–2007). Serving as their father’s editor, Schlesinger’s sons—former ABC News documentary writer Andrew and former Time contributor and World Policy Journal publisher Stephen—mined more than 60 years of his correspondence and worked through the thousands of letters held at the New York Public Library and other collections. They also drew from his wide-ranging and varied correspondents to produce a worthy follow-up and companion to their Journals: 1952–2000. The letters selected here provide a clear picture of the multifaceted talents of their father. Schlesinger’s credentials provided standing for the advice he addressed to Democratic presidential candidates Walter Mondale in 1984 and Bill Clinton in 1992. He helped them run effective campaigns and noted that they should avoid the temptation to “out-Republican the Republicans.” Schlesinger and National Review founder William F. Buckley Jr. corresponded over many years, each welcoming the other’s latest publication efforts and disputing the historical significance of such figures as Joseph McCarthy. The editors also do a good job of representing Schlesinger's relations with the Kennedy family over the years, and there are sharply penned rebuttals of critics of the Kennedy brothers' Cuba policy—in which Schlesinger’s attention to detail predominates.

Quarto, 162 pages, profusely illustrated (some in color), appendix, index, p. 162 soiled & stained, small rough spot inside rear board. Shepard was a freshman in pre-med when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, sending his life in a different direction – to the U.S. Naval Academy. He was off to war by the age of 22. Shepard earned the Navy Cross – the Navy’s highest award for heroism – for his efforts in Guadalcanal in 1942. He was an ensign on the USS San Francisco as it engaged Japanese forces in the Solomon Islands.

Shepard served as an aide to Kennedy in 1961-63, during which he oversaw the care and staffing of Camp David and the yachts, and advised the president during the Bay of Pigs incident. Shepard earned 2 master’s degrees–one in strategic warfare and another in nuclear engineering. More
