Description:
(Subject: Political & Biographies - General) Famous as the President who abolished slavery, Lord Longford shows that Lincoln was equally concerned that the Union of the States should be preserved on a basis of mutual trust. In his mind union and true democracy were inseparable. During the civil war years he guided the North to victory holding together diverse and antagonistic factions from both civilian and military.

Description:
(Subject: Political & Biographies - General) Major General Sir Roy Redgrave has enjoyed an unusual, some might say eccentric, life. From the same family as the well known actors, he was brought up in Romania as part of a thriving international community before he joined the British Army and advanced to high rank. Following on from the success of his memoir Balkan Blue, the author has pulled together a superb pot pourri of anecdotes covering his family, his military career and post-retirement travels and experiences.

Description:
(Subject: Political & Biographies - General) the author explores the changes in the historical role of the president since 1945. He argues that after 1945, the outbreak of the Cold War and setting up the CIA gave the president power in the name of, but not always with the consent of, the people. Paranoia is another theme. From Truman's and Kennedy's fear of Communism, through to Johnson's and Nixon's fears of political rivals. The impact of Watergate through Ford and Carter is examined, as is the reassertion of strong presidential leadership under Reagan and Bush (Published: 2000) (Publisher: Sutton Publishing) (ISBN: 9780750922777) (Pagination: 288pp) (Condition: New in d/w) UL-XXXXXX
