James Madison: A Biography by Ralph Ketcham

“Madison's personality comes alive in these pages, his strengths and weaknesses of mind and character clearly outlined. His great services in the Constitutional Convention of 1787 are graphically portrayed. The analysis of his political theory, and of the way in which he sought to apply it to the establishment of of government under the Constitution, is excellent. The depiction of Jeffersonian and Madisonian foreign policy up to the outbreak of the War of 1812 is clear and succinct. This is an excellent biography.”

Thomas Jefferson by R. B. Bernstein

Thomas Jefferson by R. B. Bernstein

One of the most important figures in early American history (and indeed, in American history generally), Thomas Jefferson has long been a figure of intense political and historical research. Every American knows his name, and for many, he is practically a mythic figure who is more responsible than most for the American experiment in democracy and civil rights. But how much do we know about him, really?

John Adams David McCullough

noreply@blogger.com (Book of Nation) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 12:52:00 +0000

John Adams David McCullough

David McCullough is our most dependable presidential biographer. Each of his efforts has been a resounding success, combining popular appeal with literary accolades. Mornings on Horseback, about Teddy Roosevelt, won the National Book Award, his second. For Truman, he received a Pulitzer Prize. Both were national bestsellers. For his next project, he decided to modify the formula and write about two presidents whose relationship influenced and illuminated American history. As collaborators, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson created the Declaration of Independence. As rivals — enemies, really — they came to represent the warring political factions that divided the young nation. By the end of their lives, though, these two great men had repaired their friendship, and in a fantastic coincidence died on the same date, the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. While this seems an irresistible setup for a historian with McCullough's narrative gifts, in the end he gave it up. As McCullough immersed himself in his two subjects, he found himself increasingly drawn to Adams at the expense of his more famous colleague and narrowed his focus. In Adams, McCullough found another exemplar of his favorite subject, a man, like Harry Truman and Theodore Roosevelt, who overcame remarkable disadvantages to achieve greatness. With John Adams, which earned McCullough his second Pulitzer Prize in a row, he may have achieved his own measure of greatness. Farley, Powells.com

The Obama Nation By Jerome R. Corsi

noreply@blogger.com (Book of Nation) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 12:05:00 +0000

The Obama Nation By Jerome R. Corsi

In this thoroughly researched and documented book, the #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry explains why the extreme leftism of an Obama presidency would leave the United States weakened, diminished and divided, why Obama must be defeated -- and how he can be.

Barack Obama stepped onto the national political stage when the then-Illinois State senator addressed the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Soon after Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate, author Jerome Corsi began researching Obama's personal and political background.

Scrupulously sourced with more than 600 footnotes, The Obama Nation is the result of that research. By tracing Obama's career and influences from his early years in Hawaii and Indonesia, the beginnings of his political career in Chicago, his voting record in the Illinois legislature, his religious training and his adoption of Christianity through to his recent involvement in Kenyan politics, his political advisors and fundraising associates and his meteoric campaign for president, Jerome Corsi shows that an Obama presidency would, in his words, be "a repeat of the failed extremist politics that have characterized and plagued Democratic Party politics since the late 1960s."

Harry Potter is in his fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. However, this new book opens with a difference – a very sinister encounter and a death in a darkened and empty house. In the meantime, term goes on and there are spells to be learnt, potions to be brewed and (unluckily) Divination and Potions lessons to be attended. However, the atmosphere is darkening as, without Harry's knowledge, his worst enemy is preparing a fate for him that it seems is inescapable ... A dramatic, riveting and powerful latest read from J.K. Rowling, the master storyteller.

Harry Potter is an ordinary boy who lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon’s house, which he thinks is normal for someone like him, whose parents were killed in a ‘car crash’. He is bullied by his aunt and uncle, and his fat, spoilt cousin Dudley, and lives a very unremarkable life with only the odd hiccup (like his hair growing back overnight!) giving him much to think about. That is until an owl turns up with a letter addressed to Harry and all hell breaks loose! He is rescued by a world where nothing is as it seems and magic lessons are the order of the day. Read and find out how Harry discovers his true heritage at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, the reason behind his parents’ mysterious deaths, who is out to kill him, and how he uncovers the most amazing secret of all time, the fabled Philosopher’s Stone! All this and Muggles too. Now, what are they?
