John McCain is one of the most admired leaders in the UnitedStates government, but his deeply felt memoir of family and war isnot a political one and ends before his election to Congress. Withcandor and ennobling power, McCain tells a story that, in the wordsof Newsweek, "makes the other presidential candidates look likepygmies." John McCain learned about life and honor from his grandfather andfather, both four-star admirals in the U.S. Navy. This is a memoirabout their lives, their heroism, and the ways that sons are shapedand enriched by their fathers. John McCain's grandfather was a gaunt, hawk-faced man known asSlew by his fellow officers and, affectionately, as Popeye by thesailors who served under him. McCain Sr. played the horses, drankbourbon and water, and rolled his own cigarettes with one hand.More significant, he was one of the navy's greatest commanders, andled the strongest aircraft carrier force of the Third Fleet in keybattles during World War II.

Neglected by scholars and journalists alike, the years ofconflict in Vietnam from 1968 to 1975 offer surprises not onlyabout how the war was fought, but about what was achieved. Drawingfrom thousands of hours of previously unavailable (and stillclassified) tape-recorded meetings between the highest levels ofthe American military command in Vietnam, A Better War is aninsightful, factual, and superbly documented history of these finalyears.

This book examines the relationship between free markets anddemocracy. It demonstrates how the implementation of even verypainful free-market economic reforms in Chile and Mexico havehelped to consolidate democratic politics without engendering abacklash against either reform or democratization. Thisnational-level compatibility between free markets and democracy,however, is founded on their rural incompatibility. In thecountryside, free-market reforms socially isolate peasants to sucha degree that they become unable to organize independently, and arevulnerable to the pressures of local economic elites. This helps tocreate an electoral coalition behind free-market reforms that iscritically based in some of the market's biggest victims: thepeasantry. The book concludes that the comparatively stablefree-market democracy in Latin America hinges critically on itsdefects in the countryside; conservative, free-market elites mayconsent to open politics only if they have a rural electoralredoubt.

In business and in life, these principles, among others, directly affect who we are and the way in which we conduct ourselves publicly and privately. Simply, they are both guidelines for and predictors of success, as they were for the man who was arguably the greatest American leader of the twentieth century--Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In Nothing to Fear, the bestselling author of Elizabeth I,CEO and Patton on Leadership, Alan Axelrod, examines the unparalleled leadership qualities of FDR, a man who would come to exemplify the kind of decency,bravery, and relentless courage it took to lift America out of the Great Depression and steer it through the darkest days of World War II, even as he battled a debilitating illness on the public stage.

Since it was first published in 1952, Lincoln and HisGenerals has remained one of the definitive accounts ofLincoln’s wartime leadership. In it T. Harry Williams dramatizesLincoln’s long and frustrating search for an effective leader ofthe Union Army and traces his transformation from a politician withlittle military knowledge into a master strategist of the CivilWar. Explored in depth are Lincoln’s often fraught relationshipswith generals such as McClellan, Pope, Burnside, Hooker, Fremont,and of course, Ulysses S. Grant. In this superbly writtennarrative, Williams demonstrates how Lincoln’s persistent“meddling” into military affairs was crucial to the Northern wareffort and utterly transformed the president’s role ascommander-in-chief.

In the era of Kennedy and Khrushchev, power was expressed interms of nuclear missiles, industrial capacity, numbers of menunder arms, and tanks lined up ready to cross the plains of EasternEurope. By 2010, none of these factors confer power in the sameway: industrial capacity seems an almost Victorian virtue, andcyber threats are wielded by non-state actors. Politics changed,and the nature of power—defined as the ability to affect others toobtain the outcomes you want—had changed dramatically. Power is notstatic; its story is of shifts and innovations, technologies andrelationships. Joseph Nye is a long-time analyst of power and a hands-onpractitioner in government. Many of his ideas have been at theheart of recent debates over the role America should play in theworld: his concept of "soft power" has been adopted by leaders fromBritain to China; "smart power” has been adopted as thebumper-sticker for the Obama Administration’s foreign policy. Thisbook is the summation of his work, as relevant to gene

Capitalism and Catastrophe questions whether there areprocesses in advanced capitalism that lead inevitably to systemiccollapse. The author challenges those Marxian theories based on aset of historically evolving 'internal contradictions' derived froma purely dialectical analysis of capitalism. In Part I he focuseson the controversy surrounding Rosa Luxemburg's theories ofimperialism and capital accumulation, and on Marx's treatment ofscience and technology in the Grundrisse. In Part I I he criticallyexamines neo- and non-Marxian theories of advanced capitalism, inparticular the work of Jurgen Habermas regarding the problem ofpolitical legitimation in advanced capitalism. Professor Rousseasargues that Marxists have severely underestimated the resilience ofthe capitalist system, which must be taken into account by anytheory of political economy relevant to the twentieth century.
