Book excerpt: This cowboy knows more than he's telling…. McCAIN WASN'T A MURDERER, BUT… Defense attorney Lauren Hamilton had a weakness for sexy bad boys, and her latest client certainly fit the bill. Helplessly drawn to accused killer Jon McCain, she believed his claim of innocence—and that he really had forgotten his past. Still, she sensed the disoriented cowboy was hiding something…. WHO WAS HE? Jon couldn't tell his beautiful lady lawyer everything. Though he knew he wasn't capable of murder, he had regained some memories, and they were proving much more disturbing than the prospect of a life sentence. For these flashes of his past could make a future with Lauren impossible.
Book Synopsis Finding the Mccains by : Barry R. McCain
Download or read book Finding the Mccains written by Barry R. McCain and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mississippi author Barry R McCain grew up with stories of his McCain family and old tales of their life in Ireland and Scotland. Senator John McCain and his cousin, novelist Elizabethan Spencer, both include a short history of the McCain family in their respective memoirs 'Faith of our Fathers' and 'Landscapes of the Heart.' Their history is a romantic tale of Highland Scots who supported Mary Queen of Scots and who fled to Ireland after her downfall in 1568. Barry R McCain was the family member who decided to find the McCains in Ireland and discover their real history. The search for the McCains became a mystery story with clues, false turns, many adventures, and then ultimate success through Y chromosome DNA testing. In 2008 the McCains were reunited with their family that remained in Ireland, after 289 years of separation. The author drew from his many experiences on his forty years of travel to Ireland and the UK. There are anecdotal stories, some humorous and others involving "famous" people. His book is part memoir, part history, and explores the relationship between Diaspora and homeland. Finding the McCains is also a genetic genealogy how-to guide for people of Irish and Scottish ancestry.
Download or read book The Luckiest Man written by Mark Salter and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply personal and candid remembrance of the late Senator John McCain from one of his closest and most trusted confidants, friends, and political advisors. More so than almost anyone outside of McCain’s immediate family, Mark Salter had unparalleled access to and served to influence the Senator’s thoughts and actions, cowriting seven books with him and acting as a valued confidant. Now, in The Luckiest Man, Salter draws on the storied facets of McCain’s early biography as well as the later-in-life political philosophy for which the nation knew and loved him, delivering an intimate and comprehensive account of McCain’s life and philosophy. Salter covers all the major events of McCain’s life—his peripatetic childhood, his naval service—but introduces, too, aspects of the man that the public rarely saw and hardly knew. Woven throughout this narrative is also the story of Salter and McCain’s close relationship, including how they met, and why their friendship stood the test of time in a political world known for its fickle personalities and frail bonds. Through Salter’s revealing portrayal of one of our country’s finest public servants, McCain emerges as both the man we knew him to be and also someone entirely new. Glimpses of his restlessness, his curiosity, his courage, and sentimentality are rendered with sensitivity and care—as only Mark Salter could provide. The capstone to Salter’s intimate and decades-spanning time with the Senator, The Luckiest Man is the authoritative last word on the stories McCain was too modest to tell himself and an influential life not soon to be forgotten.
Download or read book The Restless Wave written by John McCain and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “History matters to McCain, and for him America is and was about its promise. The book is his farewell address, a mixture of the personal and the political. ‘I have loved my life,’ he writes. ‘All of it.’ The Restless Wave is a fitting valedictory for a man who seldom backed down.” —The Guardian (US) “A book-length meditation on what it means to face the hard challenges of long life and the sobering likelihood of imminent death…A reflection on hardship, a homily on purpose, a celebration of life — and a challenge to Americans to live up to their values and founding principles at a time when both are in jeopardy.” —The Boston Globe In this candid political memoir from Senator John McCain, an American hero reflects on his life and what matters most. “I don’t know how much longer I’ll be here. Maybe I’ll have another five years…Maybe I’ll be gone before you read this. My predicament is, well, rather unpredictable. But I’m prepared for either contingency, or at least I’m getting prepared. I have some things I’d like to take care of first, some work that needs finishing, and some people I need to see. And I want to talk to my fellow Americans a little more if I may.” So writes John McCain in this inspiring, moving, frank, and deeply personal memoir. Written while confronting a mortal illness, McCain looks back with appreciation on his years in the Senate, his historic 2008 campaign for the presidency against Barack Obama, and his crusades on behalf of democracy and human rights in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Always the fighter, McCain attacks the spurious nationalism and political polarization afflicting American policy. He makes an impassioned case for democratic internationalism and bi-partisanship. He recalls his disagreements with several presidents, and minces no words in his objections to some of President Trump's statements and policies. At the same time, he tells stories of his most satisfying moments of public service and offers a positive vision of America that looks beyond the Trump presidency. The Restless Wave is John McCain at his best.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What They’re Saying About McCain’s Navy Class of ’82 “Preserving the legacy of Arizona’s John McCain as one of the country’s most iconic statesmen is important work for the public trust and annals of history. As McCain’s first press secretary, Marla Sheiner, brings to historians and chroniclers a collection of rare documents from his first Congressional campaign and testaments to his leadership. A memoir and tribute to McCain making us feel closer to his flame as an ardent protector and defender of democracies throughout the world.” – Greg Barr, Editor In Chief, Phoenix Business Journal “Where would we be without our mentors who show us the way? In Marla Sheiner’s memoir, McCain’s Navy* Class of ‘82, we time travel back to McCain’s first campaign when a fiery start-up staff helped him put down the shoe leather to become elected to Congress representing Arizona’s CD#1. We see in vivid detail the leadership principles that propelled them to victory. This is testament that McCain, who would later be known as The Maverick in his storied US Senate career, accepted the role as mentor to many of us–a role he accepted with duty, honor and love of country. A book for all seasons, all start-ups, candidates, and staff contemplating a run for a cause greater than themselves.” - Dr. Bill Pepicello, Former President, University of Phoenix
Book Synopsis American POW Memoirs from the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam War by : Jon Alexander OP
Download or read book American POW Memoirs from the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam War written by Jon Alexander OP and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourteen student papers from an undergraduate seminar examine American POW memoirs from the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam War. The focus of the student authors is on how American POWs have constructed narratives of their internments. The papers examine various styles of narration, characterization, and plot construction and how the POW memoirs are framed with introductions, quotations, maps, and illustrations. Overall, these papers suggest that the contexts in which authors write POW memoirs may influence the character of the memoirs they write as much as the attributes of their POW experiences. American POW Memoirs is a unique collection of papers. This publication provides an example of how an undergraduate seminar might move from training students in scholarly practice to providing students a first experience as scholarly practitioners.

Download or read book John McCain written by Marc Shapiro and published by Riverdale Avenue Books LLC. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's a lot people don't know about John McCain. They know the war hero, the prisoner of war. Those are the things that have made the headlines and the history books. But there is also the John McCain, working statesman, who has spent two terms in the House of Representatives and six terms in the Senate, going about the business of creating bills and fighting the good fight on the Senate floor for the benefit of the people and the country. It is from that McCain that this book takes its cue as it ventures into the specifics of his decades as the ultimate statesman doing the country's business. Written by New York Times Bestselling Author Marc Shapiro, John McCain: A View From The Hill delves into McCain's character, demeanor, his ability to craft bills and legislation that he cares about and ramrod them through the slippery slope of politics and into law. Through extensive research and exclusive one-on-one interviews with McCain's colleagues and foes, award-winning journalists and, in one instance, the observations of a man who had a front row seat for McCain's most challenging political moment, Shapiro probes McCain's ability to get along with Republicans and Democrats alike. The book looks at his uncompromising willingness to fight the presidential powers that be if he did not agree with them, the two rough and tumble presidential campaigns he lived through at a time when politics was entering a particularly ugly phase, and the long simmering feud with current President Donald Trump which finally exploded. If you think you know the life of John McCain, it is time to check your preconceptions. Because John McCain: A View From The Hill is about to take you deep inside a place you've never been before: How a historically significant man and politician has earned his stripes as a statesman for the ages. John McCain knew how to take care of business and this is how he did it.

Book Synopsis Writing against Racial Injury by : Haivan V. Hoang
Download or read book Writing against Racial Injury written by Haivan V. Hoang and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing against Racial Injury recalls the story of Asian American student rhetoric at the site of language and literacy education in post-1960s California. What emerged in the Asian American movement was a recurrent theme in U.S. history: conflicts over language and literacy difference masked wider racial tensions. Bringing together language and literacy studies, Asian American history and rhetoric, and critical race theory, Hoang uses historiography and ethnography to explore the politics of Asian American language and literacy education: the growth of Asian American student organizations and self-sponsored writing; the ways language served as thinly veiled trope for race in the influential Lau v. Nichols; the inheritance of a rhetoric of injury on college campuses; and activist rhetorical strategies that rearticulate Asian American racial identity. These fragments depict a troubling yet hopeful account of the ways language and literacy education alternately racialized Asian Americans while also enabling rearticulations of Asian American identity, culture, and history. This project, more broadly, seeks to offer educators a new perspective on racial accountability in language and literacy education.

As a work of military history and a critical study of McCain's life, Karaagac's book will appeal to political historians and to anyone interested in a substantive examination of the American political process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mixing memoir and cultural criticism, Memory's Orbit examines the intersections between a wide range of films and current events, finding its theme and orbiting narrative structure in the personal stories we live within and their relationship to the social and cultural order.

Kennedy Jr., the dot-com boom, the WTO protests in Seattle, and Bush versus Gore, consistently identifying those aspects of the social order that have shaped his narrating frame. Eschewing theoretical exposition and jargon, Natoli performs postmodern critique, and this book continues his innovative work in the genre of cultural studies.
