Download or read book One World written by Wendell L. Willkie and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AROUND THE WORLD IN 49 DAYS In One World Wendell Willkie gives a highly personal account of his meetings with Stalin, Chiang Kai-shek, General Montgomery, General Chennault and other United Nations leaders. He tells of his talks with prime ministers and kings, and with teachers, soldiers, librarians, factory workers, and farmers around the world. He reports a great awakening that is going on among the peoples of the world and his deep conviction that the United Nations must learn to work together now, while they fight, if they hope to live together after the war is over. The publishers believe that One World is a great contribution to the cause of true victory. It is certainly one of the most courageous and outspoken books ever written by a great public figure. “I want to urge every American to read One World. It’s not a book, it’s a searchlight.”—CLIFTON FADIMAN “...he has a seeing eye and an understanding heart....He is a genuine believer in the American way of life....Mr. Willkie’s book becomes a plea that Americans should learn to understand the shrunken world in which they live...”—WALTER LIPPMANN “It is one of the most absorbing books I have read in years, full of humour, shrewd observation, a thousand and one facts you and I never heard but should have. I read it in one gulp.”—WILLIAM L. SHIRER

Book Synopsis The Improbable Wendell Willkie: The Businessman Who Saved the Republican Party and His Country, and Conceived a New World Order by : David Levering Lewis
Download or read book The Improbable Wendell Willkie: The Businessman Who Saved the Republican Party and His Country, and Conceived a New World Order written by David Levering Lewis and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a two-time Pulitzer-winning historian comes an “insightful, compelling portrait” (New York Times Book Review) of Wendell Willkie, the businessman-turned-presidential candidate. Hailed as “the definitive biography of Wendell Willkie” (Irwin F. Gellman), The Improbable Wendell Willkie offers an “engrossing and enlightening appraisal” (Ira Katznelson) of a prominent businessman and Wall Street attorney presidential candidate who could have saved America’s sclerotic political system. Although Willkie lost to FDR in 1940, acclaimed historian David Levering Lewis demonstrates that the story of this Hoosier- born corporate chairman’s life is “a powerful reminder of practical bipartisanship, visionary internationalism, and committed civil liberties and civil rights” (Katrina vanden Heuvel). Popular for his downhome mid-western charm and unaffected candor, Willkie possessed a supple intellect and a concealed disdain for political opportunism that, had he not died prematurely, would have revolutionized American politics with its advocacy of bipartisanship and social responsibility. “Meticulously researched and brilliantly written” (Douglas Brinkley), The Improbable Wendell Willkie “brings the now largely unknown Willkie to a new generation” (The New Yorker), reclaiming the legacy of an American icon.
Book Synopsis A Third Term for FDR by : John W. Jeffries
Download or read book A Third Term for FDR written by John W. Jeffries and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2017-03-17 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1940, for the first time since America’s founding, a sitting president sought a third term in office. But this was only one remarkable aspect of that year’s election, which was, as John Jeffries makes clear in his new book, one of the most interesting and important elections in American history. Franklin Roosevelt’s plan to pack the Supreme Court had failed; in the wake of a recent recession, his New Deal had hardened support and opposition among both parties; and the German advance across Europe, along with Japanese aggression in Asia, was stirring fierce debate over America’s role in the world. Adding to the moment of profound uncertainty was FDR’s procrastination over whether to run again. Jeffries explores how these tensions played out and what they meant, not just for the presidential election but also for domestic politics and policy generally, and for state and local contests. In the context of the Roosevelt Coalition and the New Deal party system, he parses the debates and struggles within both the Democratic and Republican parties as Roosevelt deliberated over running and Wendell Wilkie, a businessman from Indiana and New York City, got the nod from Republicans over a field including the rising moderate Thomas E. Dewey, the conservative Michigan senator Arthur Vandenburg, and the isolationist Ohio senator Robert Taft. A Third Term for FDR reveals how domestic policy more than international events influenced Roosevelt’s decision to run and his victory in November. A detailed analysis of the results offers insights into the impact of the year’s events on voting, and into the election’s long-term implications and ramifications—many of which continue to this day.
Book Synopsis Wendell Willkie by : James H. Madison
Download or read book Wendell Willkie written by James H. Madison and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1992-02-22 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor James H. Madison has brought together a distinguished group of historians; four of them look at Willkie's role in Indiana and in American politics and business, and three others discuss Willkie's role in Indiana and in American politics and business, and three others discuss Willkie in a world perspective. The portrait of Willkie that emerges is far from that of the barefoot farm boy. He was a sophisticated, intelligent, exuberant American who somehow seemed to express the postwar optimism that suffused our culture as well as our hope for a new democratic world order. This is an important book for anyone interested in Willkie and American history.

This book was released on 1966 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from the Introduction: "In this book my primary aim has been to record, once and for all, the essential facts in the life of Wendell Willkie ... Why is it worthwhile to tell the story of Wendell Willkie and get it straight? The answer is that he was the man who, during the last four years of his life, in a decisive period of American history, had a greater influence on the mind of the American people and the policy of the American government than any other person except Franklin Roosevelt. And he exercised this influence despite the fact that he held no office and spoke for no organization - except, briefly, the Republican party. He exercised it by sheer ability and force of character. For one thing, he embodied, as the story will show, the nation's legendary virtues: a carefree superiority to mean and petty motives; an unaffected sympathy for the underdog; reckless courage linked with ebullient energy; eagerness to enter, and unwillingness to quit, a fight in a good cause. His appeal also lay in his almost infallible sense of the dramatic moment, his unerring gift for the symbolic act that clarified the issue for millions of confused by well-meaning fellow Americans. -- Amazon.com.
