Hated and hailed, excoriated and revered, Abraham Lincoln was at the pinnacle of American power when secessionists gave no quarter in a clash of visions bound up with money, race, identity, and faith. In him we can see the possibilities of the presidency as well as its limitations. This book tells the story of Lincoln from his birth on the Kentucky frontier to his leadership during the Civil War to his tragic assassination: his rise, his self-education, his loves, his bouts of depression, his political failures, his deepening faith, and his persistent conviction that slavery must end.

Er ist der mächtigste Mann in der Türkei, sein Einfluss macht sich verstärkt in letzter Zeit auch über deren Grenzen hinaus geltend. Ein spitzzüngiger Spötter hat es ihm mit seiner Schmähung angetan. Daraus ist ein diplomatischer Zwischenfall geworden, ja eine Staatsaffäre. Jahrelang hat man sich um Aufnahme in die EU bemüht, durch die Auswirkungen der Flüchtlingskrise gewinnen Argumente dafür ein anderes Gewicht.

Die Bundeskanzlerin ist nicht unumstritten und vielleicht gerade deswegen so beliebt und ausharrend im Amt. Ihren politischen Ziehvater jedenfalls hat sie an Beständigkeit schon bald überdauert, wenn ihr die jüngste Krise nicht noch Steine in den Weg legt, über die sie böse stolpern kann.

No one has ever captured Ronald Reagan like Peggy Noonan. In When Character Was King, Noonan brings her own reflections on Reagan to bear, as well as new stories - from President George W.

Bush, his Secret Service men and White House colleagues, his wife, his daughter Patti Davis, and his close friends - to reveal the true nature of a man even his opponents now view as a maker of big history.

George Washington was an American soldier, statesman, and Founding Father who worked as the nation's first president from 1789 to 1797. Washington was called leader of the Continental Army by the Continental Congress, and he led the Patriot forces to triumph in the American Revolutionary War.

Although one can speak of Thomas Jefferson in a tediously factual way, he was an enigma. Historically, he is noted for writing the Declaration of Independence, which was a daring and courageous statement of the rights of Americans and, indeed, of all people. Hidden beneath the many cloaks of legalistic terminologies that he was fond of using, all the strengths and vulnerabilities of Jefferson as a man were there, too. Like many people of today, he had a difficult childhood. He also liked to party while in college and loved to play the fiddle. 

This story is for all those who have ever wanted to see President Obama in person but couldn't. It tells what it was actually like to be there among the 50,000 or so other people that day, March 7, 2015, when the first black president of the United States of America came to speak at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama.
