This edition of Walker's biography celebrates the seventy-fifth anniversary of the publication of Gone With the Wind in 1936. In lively extracts from their letters to family and friends, John and Margaret, who also went by Peggy, describe the stormy years of their courtship, their bohemian lifestyle as a young married couple, the arduous but fulfilling years when Peggy was writing her famous novel, the thrill of its acceptance for publication and its literary success, and the excitement of the making of the movie. In telling the private side of this twenty-four-year marriage, author Marianne Walker reveals a long-suspected truth: Gone With the Wind might have never been written were it not for John Marsh.

At every point, including the turbulent years of Mitchell's first marriage to Red Upshaw, it was John who provided the intellectual stimulation, emotional support, and editorial insights that allowed Peggy to channel her talents into the creation of her astounding Civil War epic. Through years of meticulous research, Marianne Walker reveals the intimate and moving love story between a husband and wife, and between a writer and her editor.
Instant New York Times Bestseller#1 New York Times bestselling author Bret Baier reveals how George Washington saved the Constitution-and the American experiment"To Rescue The Constitution is a masterful exploration of the electrifying struggle to unite a young United States." --Jay WinikA sweeping narrative ranging from the unsettled early American frontier and the battlefields of the Revolution to the history-making clashes within Philadelphia's Independence Hall, Bret Baier's To Rescue the Constitution dramatically illuminates the life of George Washington, the Founder who did more than perhaps any other individual to secure the future of the United States.George Washington rescued the nation three times: first by leading the Continental Army to victory in the Revolutionary War, second by presiding over the Constitutional Convention that set the blueprint for the United States and ushering the Constitution through a fractious ratification process, and third by leading the nation as its first president. There is no doubt that the struggling new nation needed to be rescued--and that Washington was the only American who could bring the together.After the victorious War of Independence, when a spirit of unity and patriotism might have been expected, instead the nation fractured. The states were no more than a loosely knit and contentious confederation, with no strong central union. It was an urgent matter that led to the calling of a Constitutional Convention to meet in Philadelphia during the summer of 1787.Setting aside his plan to retire to Mount Vernon, Washington agreed to be a delegate at Philadelphia. There he was unanimously elected president of the convention. After successfully bringing the Constitution into being, Washington then sacrificed any hope of returning to private life by accepting the unanimous election to be the nation's first president. Washington was not known for brilliant oratory or prose, but his quiet, steady leadership gave life to the Constitution by showing how it should be enacted.In this vivid and moving portrait of America's early struggles, Baier captures the critical moments when Washington's leadership brought the nation from the brink of collapse. Baier exposes an early America that is grittier and far more divided than is often portrayed--one we can see reflected in today's conflicts.
"... Élevé à cette école, il adora le succès, et apprit à l'enlever violemment plutôt qu'à le mériter. Souvent il joignit le charlatanisme à la gloire. Ce qui était saillie légère et caprice facétieux chez nos braves enfants du Midi, devint un grave calcul chez le fils des Saxons. Ces vives et pétulantes boutades qui étincèlent dans la causerie, qui donnent tant de relief à la guerre et à l'amour, et qui, dans la mêlée sanglante, apparaissent comme les lueurs des glaives qui se heurtent, ont besoin, pour être aimées ou pardonnées, d'une légèreté presque enfantine et d'une grâce insouciante. Raleigh prit au sérieux l'humeur gasconne ; il en fit le poème épique de sa vie. Dans les grandes entreprises, dans les sombres conjurations, dans les longues traversées et les colonisations périlleuses, il fut Mascarille ou Scapin. Bariolant de traits sublimes ce charlatanisme gigantesque, nul homme (quoi qu'en ait dit la Revue d'Édimbourg) n'a mieux menti, n'a plus souvent, n'a plus témérairement menti..."

" Le château de Bretby, dans le Derbyshire, renfermait, en octobre 1725, deux personnages fort dissemblables: un vieillard austère et morose étendu sur son lit de mort, et un jeune courtisan, son fils, qui venait recevoir les derniers soupirs paternels. Ils s'étaient toujours mutuellement détestés, et l'on ne peut guère imaginer de caractères moins sympathiques. Le vieux comte (earl), défiant et ombrageux, ne voulant jouer aucun rôle à la cour ou dans le monde, avait réfugié sa sauvage humeur dans ce domaine antique où l'orfraie, le hibou et le corbeau tenaient depuis longtemps leurs assises 2, et que le fils dépeint de couleurs si lugubres, tout en racontant gaiement l'agonie paternelle. Vous ne pouvez, écrit-il à la belle mistriss Howard, la femme à la mode de ce temps, vous ne pouvez rien imaginer de plus odieux que ce donjon qui par malheur, n'est pas encore à moi, et qui est horrible : il me fait l'effet de l'enfer. Mon père, là-bas, pousse des hurlements effroyables, et tombe dans des convulsions auxquelles personne ne survivrait que lui ; les oiseaux de mauvais augure mêlent leur voix à la sienne, et le peu de figures humaines qui m'approchent sont des figures de damnés. Ma foi ! j'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour ma piété filiale, je suis aussi estimable qu'Énée..."
" En juillet 1838, lord Melbourne disait à la chambre des lords d'Angleterre que de tous les excentriques modernes, M. Burke lui semblait un des plus étranges, que ses vues étaient impraticables et ses idées chimériques, qu'il n'y avait dans ses jugements et dans ses paroles qu'exagération et extravagance, qu'il n'admettait rien de modéré, point de modifications, point de transactions ; enfin que son caractère, comme ses théories, se composait de violences contradictoires et inadmissibles. Plusieurs années auparavant, le philosophe et poète Coleridge, dans sa Biographia litteraria, avait imprimé ce qui suit : Personne ne fut jamais plus droit, plus vrai, plus ferme, plus conséquent à lui-même, d'un bon sens plus pratique et d'un génie plus sévèrement logique qu'Edmond Burke. Il ne s'est jamais démenti, il n'a jamais varié. C'est le modèle des hommes politiques. ..."
Ronald ReaganOn January 20, 1981, Ronald Reagan was inaugurated as the 40th president of the United States. That same day, the Americans who had been held hostage in Iran were released. For many Americans, the juxtaposition of those events was no coincidence. Ronald Reagan was the president they elected to restore their country's sagging influence in the world and disappointing image at home. He was a president who believed in a United States that was truly, as he said in his farewell address, "a shining city."

Inside you will read about...- The Small Town Boy- Reagan's Hollywood Career- The Governor's Race- The Assassination Attempt- Reagan and the Evil Empire- The Alzheimer's DiagnosisAnd much more! Ronald Reagan would remain the man who beat the Russians and ended the Cold War, changing the composition of the globe with his conservative politics and his passionate idealism. Even through Reagan's political trials, the Iran-Contra hearings, the mixed results of his economic policies known as Reaganomics, and the military build-up that swelled the national debt, the nation saw him as the man who restored the country to its rightful place as a leader among nations.

This is the true story of a pioneer boy who crossed the Great Plains by ox-team with his parents to a settlement in the Great Salt Lake basin. Unhappy with his circumstances, 11-year-old Nick Wilson ran away from home with an Indian who had befriended him. Nick spent the next two years with the Shoshone learning their language and culture and developing the skills of a hunter. He participated in buffalo hunts, fought off grizzly bears, witnessed Indian wars, and even survived being shot in the head with an arrow and left to die. Later, he became a trapper, Pony Express rider, stagecoach driver, army scout, and interpreter. He was often called to track down and negotiate peace with renegade Indians who had fled the reservation and threatened war. He found himself in danger numerous times and participated in many skirmishes with both Indians and outlaws. Growing up among the Shoshones taught him the skills he needed to survive the rough and wild west.
The concept of "Juda Rising" began with one individual who was convinced that she was a descendant of the ancient Bantus. Her inner-standing of Temple Worship formed the basis on which her personal story became a wonderful unravelling. Dr Beverley was born into a family that had strong priestly tendencies, that were characterised by attention to detail, and discipline. The Most High took Dr Beverley by the hand and led her on a journey through the Great Doors of True Worship. There was nobody in her family that could help her, so she asked the Most-High to show her what to do and where to look. She believed He knew the end from the beginning of her bloodline because His Word says, 'He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could dare to ask or even think according to the power that is at work in us.'She said, "I believe the statement to mean: 'If I am able to believe, SoNINI NaNINI will work according to the level of my belief.' Well, I held onto my strong convictions until, through many years of research the truth began to shine through." Chattel Slavery was largely responsible for erasing and covering up the ancient Bantu heritage of the Caribbean people. Dr Beverley didn't know where the pieces of her personal history were hidden. The Most High uncovered the tissue of lies; endemic to the fabric of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. This book is both a historical research and a biblical retracing of the steps that our ancient Bantu forefathers took, from being a Nation to becoming a Slave Population. She says, "My brothers and sisters have suffered four hundred years in Mental Slavery, because we broke our Sacred Covenant with the Most-High. In fact, the reason we are unable to unite as a Bantu Community, is because we broke our union with the Most-High SoNINI NaNINI Somandla. It's as simple as that." The biographical style of this book enables the Negro Jamaican Bantu to emotionally reconnect with historical facts by offering the reader a peak into Dr. Beverley's past up to the present day. The reader can see her come to the point of honestly looking her truth in the face.

*Includes pictures of important people, places, and events in Lenin's life. *Explains the origins of Vladimir Lenin's name. "We want to achieve a new and better order of society: in this new and better society there must be neither rich nor poor; all will have to work. Not a handful of rich people, but all the working people must enjoy the fruits of their common labour." - Vladimir Lenin A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' Russian Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of Russia's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Among the leaders of the 20th century, arguably none shaped the course of history as much as Vladimir Lenin (1870-1942), the Communist revolutionary and political theorist who led the Bolshevik Revolution that established the Soviet Union. In addition to shaping the Marxist-Leninist political thought that steered Soviet ideology, he was the first Soviet premier until his death and set the Soviet Union on its way to becoming one of the world's two superpowers for most of the century, in addition to being the West's Cold War adversary. Given the Red Scare and the nature of the Cold War, Lenin has always been a divisive and controversial figure in Western society, especially among those who equate the Soviets with brutal repression and human rights abuses. Lenin also has his champions, who point to the fact that he got Russia out of World War I, was the first to successfully implement a modern socialist state, and worked tirelessly to elevate the working classes. As it turned out, the creation of the Soviet Union came near the end of Lenin's life, as he worked so hard that he had burned himself out by his 50s, dying in 1924 after a series of strokes had completely debilitated him. Since his life before the Soviet Union naturally gets less focus, Lenin remains a bit of an unknown among many, and he is likely a lesser known or notorious figure than his successor, Joseph Stalin. Russian Legends: The Life and Legacy of Vladimir Lenin explores Lenin's life and work before the Bolshevik Revolution, as well as the crucial role he played in establishing the Soviet Union. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the founder of Communist Russia like you never have before, in no time at all.
On the surface, the relationship seemed warm and mutually respectful; De Gaulle, Churchill and Roosevelt all working in unison to defeat the Axis powers and liberate the occupied countries. But behind the scenes, things were rather different.Bickering, distrust, deceit and bitter arguments were commonplace throughout the war years. Roosevelt openly courted the collaborationist Vichy regime in preference to the leader of the Free French. Churchill, attempting to placate both the US President and de Gaulle, eventually became frustrated and openly distrustful of the French leader. And de Gaulle, it transpired, had a long memory for such betrayals. Allies at War provides extraordinary insight into the real relationships between these highly dominant characters and their legacy in post-war relations.**The book of the BBC TV series**Simon Berthon is an acclaimed historian, documentary-maker, TV producer and author who now writes full-time. He lives between London and Wiltshire.

This is an argument for Textualism and Originalism, a constitutional theory that has taken root with a majority on the high court now. It is important to understand where we have come from in order to know the republic itself, and the government we were all promised. A republic! If you can keep it. Herein is a paragraph-by-paragraph explanation of the entire constitution, which is the main law of the land. It discusses our guaranteed rights with the goal of a better understanding. The original language of the constitution in the scroll provides a clear visual separation, making it easy to distinguish the language from the explanation of each section. My greatest hope is that it will lead to a better understanding of the government we're supposed to have, as well as a little about the founders and what they were thinking. So many times, I find people who should be knowledgeable on the subject claiming things that aren't in the text or even an idea at the time. I hope this corrects the record. This is a strict interpretation based only on the founder's vision as argued during the constitutional convention as well as debate at the time of the passage of each amendment. So we're looking for the meaning when each amendment was passed.
