Historia
Over the course of his life, James Madison changed the United States three times: First, he designed the Constitution, led the struggle for its adoption and ratification, then drafted the Bill of Rights. As an older, cannier politician, he cofounded the original Republican party, setting the course of American political partisanship. Finally, having pioneered a foreign policy based on economic sanctions, he took the United States into a high-risk conflict, becoming the first wartime president and, despite the odds, winning.

An Important Founding Father
Revisado: 11-11-18
This book explains how critical James Madison was to the evolution of our independent country and our Constitutional thought. At every stage of the country's development, Madison's presence made a difference. The book is very informative, but not quite as compelling as I had hoped (hence only 4 stars instead of 5). #Leadership #Informative #AmericanHistory #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Historia
Are leaders born or made? Where does ambition come from? How does adversity affect the growth of leadership? Does the man make the times or do the times make the man? In Leadership, Goodwin draws upon four of the presidents she has studied most closely - Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights) - to show how they first recognized leadership qualities within themselves, and were recognized by others as leaders.

A Lesson in How to Lead this Country
Revisado: 11-11-18
Doris Kearns Goodwin describes how four outstanding Presidents overcame adversity to have what it takes to ultimately lead our country through difficult times. She has such insight. Would that we had such a President now. #Leadership #Revealing #AmericanHistory #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Historia
With authoritative reporting honed through eight presidencies from Nixon to Obama, author Bob Woodward reveals in unprecedented detail the harrowing life inside President Donald Trump’s White House and precisely how he makes decisions on major foreign and domestic policies. Woodward draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand sources, meeting notes, personal diaries, files, and documents. The focus is on the explosive debates and the decision-making in the Oval Office, the Situation Room, Air Force One, and the White House residence.

A bit of an anti-climax, but outstanding!
Revisado: 09-15-18
There were a number of blockbuster revelations, and the book overall is totally outstanding. There weren't quite as many shocking revelations as I expected from the pre-release hype -- which actually is good news for the benefit of the country. But the revelations that are in the book felt very well researched and very real. I loved this book, and got through it in only a few days. #RippedFromTheHeadlines #Shocking #Trump #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

Historia
Imbeciles is the shocking story of Buck v. Bell, a legal case that challenges our faith in American justice. A gripping courtroom drama, it pits a helpless young woman against powerful scientists, lawyers, and judges who believed that eugenic measures were necessary to save the nation from being “swamped with incompetence.”

Tedious at first, but it gets more interesting.
Revisado: 07-04-18
I bought this book on the recommendation of a friend. At first, I had trouble sticking to it, both because the presentation was tedious but because it was the story of such a depressing chapter in our history. Later, it gets into a discussion of the judicial philosophical evolution of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., and that was very interesting and compelling, although disappointing to realize how unenlightened Justice Holmes had been.

Historia
The story is not your typical murder mystery. The sleuth is not a detective, private eye, or lawyer. He's an ordinary guy with an extraordinary dog. Jacob Martin is trying to make the best of a divorce and mid-life crisis when he gets a call at two o'clock Sunday morning from his mother. His sister has been arrested for the murder of her fourth husband, and his father is near death. Thus begins an adventure that takes Jake and his golden retriever from their Colorado retreat to a backwater town in the Missouri Ozarks.

Not really a dog story
Revisado: 07-04-18
If you're thinking of reading this because you like dog stories, you might want to pass on this one. It's an acceptable murder mystery, with some interesting twists, but the dog is just another character.

Historia
What if you had the power to change the past? It's 1907, and Nellie Hartford has a rare ability: a lightning strike can send her jumping through time. When the thunder rolls, the question is should she jump back to prevent the childhood fever that led to her husband's premature death or forward to find a treatment for her baby's severe gastrointestinal issues? And what if saving one leaves her without the other? What if she loses them both? Dr. Jeff Marshall doesn't quite know what to do with the woman who accosted him in the hospital parking lot looking like she walked off stage.

This book is for everyone who never understood what made either of the Clintons tick or what kept them together. Dr. Gartner has studied them, and their lives, with a psychiatrist's expertise and has figured them out. I couldn't put it down.
