Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1862, a group of slaves stole one of the Confederacy¿s most crucial gunships from its wharf in Charleston and delivered it to the Federal Navy. This escape, masterminded by a 24-year-old black sailor named Robert Smalls, exploded the Confederate claim that Southern slaves did not crave freedom or have the ability to take action. A brilliant military strategist, Smalls was promoted to the rank of captain in the Federal Navy, where he served in many battles. His eloquent appeal to Lincoln convinced the Pres. to enlist 5,000 former slaves in the Union armed forces, shattering the color barrier that had kept black men out. His fame inspired the public support that encouraged Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Full-color illus. Reinforced binding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With rich detail, compelling honesty, and a storyteller’s gift, RFK Jr. describes his life growing up Kennedy in a tumultuous time in history that eerily echoes the issues of nuclear confrontation, religion, race, and inequality that we confront today. In this powerful book that combines the best aspects of memoir and political history, the third child of Attorney General Robert Kennedy and nephew of JFK takes us on an intimate journey through his life, including watershed moments in the history of our nation. Stories of his grandparents Joseph and Rose set the stage for their nine remarkable children, among them three US senators—Teddy, Bobby, and Jack—one of whom went on to become attorney general, and the other, the president of the United States. We meet Allen Dulles and J. Edgar Hoover, two men whose agencies posed the principal threats to American democracy and values. Their power struggles with the Kennedys underpinned all the defining conflicts of the era. We live through the Cuban Missile Crisis, when insubordinate spies and belligerent generals in the Pentagon and Moscow brought the world to the cliff edge of nuclear war. At Hickory Hill in Virginia, where RFK Jr. grew up, we encounter the celebrities who gathered at the second most famous address in Washington, members of what would later become known as America’s Camelot. Through his father’s role as attorney general we get an insider’s look as growing tensions over civil rights led to pitched battles in the streets and 16,000 federal troops were called in to enforce desegregation at Ole Miss. We see growing pressure to fight wars in Southeast Asia to stop communism. We relive the assassination of JFK, RFK’s run for the presidency that was cut short by his own death, and the aftermath of those murders on the Kennedy family. These pages come vividly to life with intimate stories of RFK Jr.’s own experiences, not just with historical events and the movers who shaped them but also with his mother and father, with his own struggles with addiction, and with the ways he eventually made peace with both his Kennedy legacy and his own demons. The result is a lyrically written book that is remarkably stirring and relevant, providing insight, hope, and steady wisdom for Americans as they wrestle, as never before, with questions about America’s role in history and the world and what it means to be American.

Download or read book Lost Destiny written by Alan Axelrod and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan Axelrod's Lost Destiny is a rare exploration of the origin of today's controversial military drones as well as a searing and unforgettable story of heroism, WWII, and the Kennedy dynasty that might have been. On August 12, 1944, Lieutenant Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., heir to one of America's most glamorous fortunes, son of the disgraced former ambassador to Great Britain, and big brother to freshly minted PT-109 hero JFK, hoisted himself up into a highly modified B-24 Liberator bomber. The munitions he was carrying that day were fifty percent more powerful than TNT. Kennedy's mission was part of Operation Aphrodite/Project Anvil, a desperate American effort to rescue London from a rain of German V-1 and V-2 missiles. The decision to use these bold but crude precursors to modern-day drones against German V-weapon launch sites came from Air Corps high command. Lieutenant General Jimmy Doolittle, daring leader of the spectacular 1942 Tokyo Raid, and others concocted a plan to install radio control equipment in "war-weary" bombers, pack them with a dozen tons of high explosives, and fly them by remote control directly into the concrete German launch sites—targets too hard to be destroyed by conventional bombs. The catch was that live pilots were needed to get these flying bombs off the ground and headed toward their targets. Joe Jr. was the first naval aviator to fly such a mission. And—in the biggest manmade explosion before Hiroshima—it killed him.
Book Synopsis Forever Young by : William Sylvester Noonan

Book excerpt: An intimate portrait of John F. Kennedy, Jr., from his closest friend with 16 pages of color photos From the iconic image of a little boy saluting his father’s casket to his tragic death at age thirty- eight, John F. Kennedy, Jr., was never far from the public eye. Now the friend who John was flying to see the night he died reveals the private man behind the public myth. Billy and John shared summers in Hyannisport and formed a bond in the Kennedy compound that lasted well into adulthood. With Forever Young, Noonan offers a unique glimpse into the private life of his boyhood friend—his courtship with Carolyn, his relationship with his mother, Jackie, and his struggle with being the son of a great man he hardly remembered. Affectionate yet candid, Noonan’s deeply personal memoir ultimately emerges as the definitive portrait of the son of Camelot.
Book Synopsis The Last Campaign by : Thurston Clarke
Download or read book The Last Campaign written by Thurston Clarke and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-05-27 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive account of Robert Kennedy’s exhilarating and tragic 1968 campaign for president—a revelatory history that is especially resonant now After John F. Kennedy’s assassination, Robert Kennedy—formerly Jack’s no-holds-barred political warrior—almost lost hope. He was haunted by his brother’s murder, and by the nation’s seeming inabilities to solve its problems of race, poverty, and the war in Vietnam. Bobby sensed the country’s pain, and when he announced that he was running for president, the country united behind his hopes. Over the action-packed eighty-two days of his campaign, Americans were inspired by Kennedy’s promise to lead them toward a better time. And after an assassin’s bullet stopped this last great stirring public figure of the 1960s, crowds lined up along the country’s railroad tracks to say goodbye to Bobby. With new research, interviews, and an intimate sense of Kennedy, Thurston Clarke provides an absorbing historical narrative that goes right to the heart of America’s deepest despairs—and most fiercely held dreams—and tells us more than we had understood before about this complicated man and the heightened personal, racial, political, and national dramas of his times.
Book Synopsis America's Path Back to Moral Leadership by : Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Download or read book America's Path Back to Moral Leadership written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government institutions have betrayed the trust of the American people for too long. Instead of serving a democracy that is of, by, and for the people, these organizations have been captured by the corporate greed of regulatory agencies—the agencies who look the other way because they are bankrolled by those they are supposed to regulate. It is no mystery why trust in government is at an all-time low. Most Americans, including those working for big corporations and government agencies, are decent and upstanding citizens who are tired of the paralysis of a broken system. They are looking for a way out, a path toward a government that cares about people over profits. They are looking for America’s Path Back to Moral Leadership. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explains how his administration will build a government that serves the public, not the other way around. He discusses how to make government transparent, protect whistleblowers, and prosecute officials who abuse the public trust, and how to rein in the lobbyists and slam shut the revolving door between government agencies and lucrative positions in the companies they were supposed to regulate. To bring true moral leadership back to America, Kennedy makes clear that his administration will get the money out of politics, open up our institutions to real citizen involvement, and restore the lost integrity of our democracy.
