English | April 23, 2007 | ISBN: 0691131171 | True EPUB | 176 pages | 0.5 MB
In 1960, Barry Goldwater set forth his brief manifesto in The Conscience of a Conservative. Written at the height of the Cold War and in the wake of America’s greatest experiment with big government, the New Deal, Goldwater’s message was not only remarkable, but radical. He argued for the value and importance of conservative principles-freedom, foremost among them-in contemporary political life. Using the principles he espoused in this concise but powerful book, Goldwater fundamentally altered the political landscape of his day-and ours.

Worst. President. Ever James Buchanan, the POTUS Rating Game, and the Legacy of the Least of the Lesser Presidents [Audiobook]


Free Download Worst. President. Ever.: James Buchanan, the POTUS Rating Game, and the Legacy of the Least of the Lesser Presidents (Audiobook)
English | December 27, 2016 | ASIN: B01MRVLISS | M4B@64 kbps | 8h 51m | 248 MB
Author: Robert Strauss | Narrator: Tom Perkins
Worst. President. Ever. flips the great presidential biography on its head, offering an enlightening – and highly entertaining – account of poor James Buchanan’s presidency to prove once and for all that, well, few leaders could have done worse.
But author Robert Strauss does much more, leading listeners out of Buchanan’s terrible term in office – meddling in the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision, exacerbating the Panic of 1857, helping foment the John Brown uprisings and "Bloody Kansas", virtually inviting a half-dozen states to secede from the Union as a lame duck, and on and on – to explore with insight and humor his own obsession with presidents, and ultimately the entire notion of ranking our presidents. He guides us through the POTUS rating game of historians and others who have made their own Mount Rushmores – or Marianas Trenches – of presidential achievement, showing why Buchanan easily loses to any of the others, but also offering insights into presidential history buffs like himself, the forgotten "lesser" presidential sites, sex and the presidency, the presidency itself, and how and why it can often take the best measures out of even the most dedicated men.

Red Activists and Black Freedom James and Esther Jackson and the Long Civil Rights Revolution


Free Download David Levering Lewis, Michael H. Nash, Daniel J. Leab, "Red Activists and Black Freedom: James and Esther Jackson and the Long Civil Rights Revolution"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0415472555, 0415637422 | EPUB | pages: 114 | 2.5 mb
This book deals with the forgotten history of the civil rights movement. The American Left played a significant part in the origins of that movement, whose history has traditionally been focused on the later 1940’s and early 1950’s. This approach needs serious re-thinking in light of what took place in the later 1930’s with the organization and activity of groups like the Southern Negro Youth Congress that brought both African-American and white workers and students together in the fight for economic and social justice. Thanks to the post-World War II Red Scare such groups as well as Left African-American leaders like Esther and James Jackson have been overlooked or excised from an exciting, controversial, and important story. With all due credit to the churches which played such a pivotal role in finally winning Blacks their civil rights, the early history involving the Left, workers of both races, and the labor unions must be assimilated into America’s memory, for there were important continuities between what they did and the later church-based struggle.
