History

De Felice, Renzo

Europe

<div> The American Revolution, though it profoundly stirred the imagination of the French people, was not so cataclysmic, nor so immediate and widespread in its effects as the events that broke out thirteen years later in France. The French Revolution provoked a deep cleavage within society that it later exported to most of Europe. France's Communists hold Robespierre, the instigator of the Terror, as one of their inspirations while Gaxotte, writing in the 1920s, viewed Communism as the logical heir to the Revolution. Many contemporary historians appear far closer to Gaxotte in their more realistic portrayals of those events than to the innumerable Marxist scholars who preceded them. </div>

The French Revolution

Gaxotte, Pierre

"Roosevelt the antiquarian, the anecdotalist, the collector of books, the gentleman farmer, the affable host . . . and important part of Roosevelt and one which has not been so well documented before."—Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
"As a personal picture of Roosevelt's lighter moments during the war, Hassett's diary is unsurpassed."—The Christian Science Monitor
"It is Hassett's ability to observe . . . that gives the reader the sense of knowing the real Roosevelt during those years."—San Francisco Chronicle
William D. Hassett was an assistant secretary to Franklin D. Roosevelt. He left a revelatory account of his three years of daily interaction with the President accompanying him on many train trips to and from Hyde Park that remained entirely hidden to the press and most outsiders. Hassett was a newspaperman and public relations executive who had a close relationship with FDR, who admired his profound erudition and talent as a writer. At times the secretary, who scrupulously recorded the comings and goings of innumerable visitors and dignitaries, secret and not, added some of his own observations and evaluations of one person or another. Many of the slow train rides from a railroad siding kept secret to most people to Hyde Park were the occasion for visitors to come on board along the way or for FDR to stop and spend some time in conference off the train. These recorded chronicles are quoted in most historical works about Franklin D. Roosevelt particularly during the war years as an unmatched treasure trove that enhances the historical record.

Biographies & Memoirs

Hassett, William D

Historical

Throughout almost five years from November, 1940, to the end of World War II in September, 1945, my duties placed me at pivotal points in the high command that accomplished the defeat of our enemies against what at times seemed heavy odds. These observations are based on participation in many historic discussions at which the course of the war was charted and at which attempts were made to map the road to peace.As Franklin D. Roosevelt's chief of staff, Admiral William D. Leahy was involved in most of the key decisions and conferences that won the war and saw the creation of the postwar world.

I Was There: The Memoirs of FDR?s Chief of Staff

Leahy, William D.

In spite of the deadly law of omertà among the "men of honor" of the Mafia, promising swift and fatal retribution to its transgressors, Frank Ragano tells an unrivaled and unmatched insider's story. Never before has someone so highly placed revealed what went on behind the closed doors of organized crime during its most powerful, lucrative, and pervasive years.
This is the unvarnished story of the murders, the fixed juries, the sweetheart deals, and the political corruption that characterized the heyday of the Mafia. Here in unprecedented detail is the day-to-day workings of America's most profitable and influential criminal organizations, huge operations whose tremendous growth from the fifties to the seventies was due in part to brilliant, aggressive, highly paid attorneys who kept the wheels of these drug, and prostitution factories well greased.
Frank Ragano acted as a conduit between the mob and politicians, crooked businessmen, and powerful labor leaders. He provides an enthralling hour-by-hour account of the day Jimmy Hoffa was killed, including who ordered the hit and why. He shows how Hoffa's animus toward Attorney General Robert Kennedy erupted in a brawl between the two men in the offices of the Justice Department, and most shockingly, how Ragano unwittingly delivered the message—from Hoffa to the Mob—that resulted in President Kennedy's assassination. At the very heart of the American Mafia, Frank Ragano was the attorney for Santo Trafficante, Jimmy Hoffa and Carlos Marcello.
With a foreword is by award-winning screenwriter and author Nicholas Pileggi.
