Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. Colin Powell is the embodiment of the American dream. He was born in Harlem to immigrant parents from Jamaica. He knew the rough life the streets. He overcame a barely average start at school. Then he joined the Army. The rest is history--but a history that until now has been known only on the surface. Here, for the first time, he himself tells us how it happened, in a memoir distinguished by a heartfelt love of country and family, warm good humor, and a soldier's directness. He writes of the anxieties and missteps as well as the triumphs that marked his rise to four-star general, National Security Advisor, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, mastermind of Desert Storm, and now the man the country would most like to draft as President just as it drafted General Eisenhower before him in 1952. We see Powell growing up, getting into mischief, going to church with his father, working in a bottling plant, joining the ROTC. We follow him as a green young lieutenant on his first foreign posting in Germany, where his ascent is nearly aborted by a blunder on the day he is assigned to guard an atomic cannon. We go on patrol with him into the jungles of Vietnam, where he is wounded, and then, in the first surprise turn of his career, into the every-bit-as-dangerous thickets of Washington bureaucracy as a Pentagon aide in the Carter administration. We see how he handled the humiliations inflicted on him as a black soldier traveling in the Deep South and the unnerving challenges be faced as a battalion commander in Korea, where the army guarding the border with North Korea was plagued by drugs, drinking, a lack of discipline, and racial tension. We are edge-of-the-seat spectators to some of the great international dramas of our time--Desert Storm, the invasion of Panama, the dark dealings of Iran-contra with Ollie North and Bill Casey, the climatic meetings with Gorbachev. And we are present also at the encounters with President Clinton on the controversial question of gays in the military. Colin Powell, moving easily between the Army and high positions in both Republican and Democratic administrations has a unique perspective. As an active soldier, he has experienced the sharp end of political decisions in Washington. As an advice to three Presidents, he has seen how policy is shaped and he has shaped it himself. It was Powell whom President Reagan summoned to the White House to help National Security Advisor Frank Carlucci clean up the mess after the Iran-contra debacle. It was Powell whom President Clinton called back from private life to accompany forever President Carter on his eve-of-war mission to Haiti. Haiti was a consummation of Powell's translation from soldier to statement and popular leader. Not since Dwight Eisenhower has a figure in public life been held in such universal esteem or had so few negatives. Powell gives us behind-the-scenes portraits of Presidents Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, of Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf, and many others. This is a book of political excitement and disclosure, but it is much more. It is a life well lived and well told. It is also a view from the mountaintop of the political landscape of America. The book jacket shows some shelf wear. This is an oversized book and will require additional postage. Photo-insert design by Wynn Dan, Book design, Bernard Klein (ilustrador).…

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: very good. Fourth Printing [stated]. xiv, 482 pages. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Index. Slight wear and soiling to DJ. This definitive military chronicle of the Iraq war--and a searing judgment on the strategic blindness with which America has conducted it--draws on the accounts of senior military officers giving voice to their anger for the first time. Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post senior Pentagon correspondent Thomas E. Ricks's Fiasco is masterful and explosive reckoning with the planning and execution of the American military invasion and occupation of Iraq, based on the unprecedented candor of key participants. The American military is a tightly sealed community, and few outsiders have reason to know that a great many senior officers view the Iraq war with incredulity and dismay. But many officers have shared their anger with renowned military reporter Thomas E. Ricks, and in Fiasco, Ricks combines these astonishing on-the-record military accounts with his own extraordinary on-the-ground reportage to create a spellbinding account of an epic disaster. Thomas Edwin "Tom" Ricks (born September 25, 1955) is an American journalist who writes on defense topics. He is a former reporter for the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post. He has reported on military activities in Somalia, Haiti, Korea, the Balkans, Kuwait, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Ricks is author of four nonfiction books: Fiasco: The American Military Adventure In Iraq, The Gamble: General David Petraeus and the American Military Adventure in Iraq, 2006-2008, The Generals: American Military Command from World War II to Today, and Making the Corps. The main points of this hard-hitting indictment of the Iraq war have been made before, but seldom with such compelling specificity. In dovetailing critiques of the civilian and military leadership, Washington Post Pentagon correspondent Ricks (Making the Corps) contends that, under Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Feith, the Pentagon concocted "the worst war plan in American history," with insufficient troops and no thought for the invasion's aftermath. Thus, an under-manned, unprepared U.S. military stood by as chaos and insurgency took root, then responded with heavy-handed tactics that brutalized and alienated Iraqis. Based on extensive interviews with American soldiers and officers as well as firsthand reportage, Ricks's detailed, unsparing account of the occupation paints a woeful panorama of reckless firepower, mass arrests, humiliating home invasions, hostage-taking and abuse of detainees. It holds individual commanders to account, from top generals Tommy Franks and Ricardo Sanchez on down. The author's conviction that a proper hearts-and-minds counterinsurgency strategy might have salvaged the debacle is perhaps naive, and pays too little heed to the intractable ethnic conflicts underlying what is by now a full-blown civil war. Still, Ricks's solid reporting, deep knowledge of the American military and willingness to name names make this perhaps the most complete, incisive analysis yet of the Iraq quagmire.

Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "What began fifty yeaars ago as a deadly cat-and-mouse game between wild-hare moonshine runners and grim old sheriffs on the twisting back roads of the southern Appalachians has evolved into the hottesst sport in America: NASCAR's Winston Cup Series. The drivers aren't exactly good old boys anymore and the corporatization of stock car racing has turned NASCAR into a miltimillion-dollar enterprise, but the irreverent roots of the sport cannot be denied. In Wheels, critically acclaimed writer Paul Hemphill tells the story of this fascinating sport through the events of the 1996 Winston Cup season. When Tom Wolfe immortalized NASCAR's legendary Junior Johnson as "The Last American Hero," the sport's beginnings were revealed: Young men, between bouts of hauling whiskey and trying to elude the law, turned their misdoings into a sport of fearless daredevils in lightning-fast cars competing at dirt tracks all over the South. But when Junior convinced tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds to sponsor the NASCAR circuit, stock car racing changed forever. In Wheels, Paul Hemphill explores this transformation and, in doing so, takes the reader on an unparalleled journey through the multifaceted world that is stock car racing: into the corporate offices, where public relations gurus teach the drivers how to address the media after a victory or how to speak to the camera in a commercial; to the races, where a split second's reaction time often spells the difference between disaster and victory; to the busy garages where grease monkeys tinker with 700 horsepower engines in order to get an edge on the competition; and into the infields of the tracks where southern boys and their ladies whoop it up, drink beer, and hoot and holler for their favorite drivers and cars. Hemphill further profiles the drivers themselves: the mean, all-business Dale Earnhardt - the Intimidator - perhaps the greatest NASCAR driver of all time; the preppy twenty-five year-old Christain wunderkind, Jeff Gordon - the Kid - the blossoming Madison Avenue-approved future of the sport; Terry Labonte, the solid, soft-spoken driver whose consistent top-five finishes earned him enough points to capture the coveted season-long Winston Cup Championship; and many of the others from similar blue-collar backgrounds, fighting for a piece of the purse that could make or break their entire season. Yet Wheels is also about a lot more than just racing. It's about a culture, a personality; it's about the last gasps of a distinct regional identity faced with the sanitizing influences of corprate America. Simply put, Wheels is a chronicle of Buba's last stand." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Nichols, Kate (book design); Phillips, Leslie (insert design) (ilustrador).…
