New condition black boards with red spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Jeffrey Kluger; Author Dedication; Prologue; Epilogue; Author's Note; Index and About the Author. Illustrat…ed with a section of both black-and-white and color photographic plates plus color illustrated front and rear endpapers. "No matter how many times you return to the Apollo missions, you never exhaust their thrilling seat-of-your-pants suspense. But here, in the superbly capable hands of Jeffrey Kluger, the little-known story of Apollo 8 bursts vividly to life. I couldn't put it down." - Ken Burns, director. "It was refreshing to read about my friends Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders and follow their record-setting trip to the moon. Jeffrey has got it all exactly straight and I enjoyed reading it very much." - Michael Collins, command module pilot, Apollo 11. "Drawing on historical transcripts and documents and his own extensive interviews with the leading players, Jeffrey Kluger paints a portrait of the U.S. space program and the first manned expedition to the moon so vivid that we feel ourselves riding in the hurtling rocket with the astronauts, taut with the thrill, the danger, and the cosmic meaning of the mission. Apollo 8 is storytelling at its best." - Alan Lightman, MIT professor. "The untold story of the first Apollo mission to the moon, which closed out one of our darkest years with a nearly unimaginable triumph. In August 1968, NASA made a bold decision: in just sixteen weeks, the United States would launch humankind's first flight to the moon. Only the year before, three astronauts had burned to death in their spacecraft, and since then the Apollo program had suffered one setback after another. Meanwhile, the Russians were winning the space race, the Cold War was getting hotter by the month, and President Kennedy's promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade seemed sure to be broken. But when Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders were summoned to a secret meeting and told of the dangerous mission, they instantly signed on. Written with all the color and verve of the best narrative nonfiction, Apollo 8 takes us from Mission Control to the astronauts' homes, from the test labs to the launchpad. The race to prepare an untested rocket for an unprecedented journey paves the way for the hair-raising trip to the moon. Then, on Christmas Day, a nation that has suffered a horrendous year of assassinations and war is heartened by an inspiring message from the trio of astronauts in lunar orbit. And when the mission is over - after the first view of the far side of the moon, the first earthrise, and the first reentry through the Earth's atmosphere following a flight to deep space - the impossible dream of walking on the moon suddenly seems within reach. The full story of Apollo 8 has never been told, and only Jeffrey Kluger - Jim Lovell's coauthor of the bestselling book about Apollo 13 - can do it justice. Here is the tale of a mission that was both a calculated risk and a wild crapshoot, a stirring account of how three American heroes forever changed our view of the home planet." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Includes List of Other Books by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard; Author Dedication; Prologue; Postscript; Sources…; Illustration Credits; index and About the Authors. Illustrated with black and white photographs and maps. "In the latest installment of the mega-bestselling Killing series, Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard confront Nazi evil in a riveting account of the courageous efforts to capture fugitive members of the SS after World War II. As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader, Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through shadowy but sophisticated Nazi orgainizations designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the "Angel of Death," who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler's brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel "Butcher of Lyon:; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann. Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled "Nazi hunters." This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor. Over decades, these men and women scoured the world, tracking down the SS fugitives and bringing them to justice, which often meant death. Written in the fast-paced style of the Killing series, Killing the SS will educate and stun the reader. The final chapter is truly shocking." - from the inner front jacket flap. Pracher, Rick (jacket design); Stutzman, Mark (jacket illustration); Levavi, Meryl Sussman (book design) (illustratore).

Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and maps. "The powerful and riveting new book in the multimillion-selling Killing series by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard." "An enthralling, gripping account of the bloody battles, huge decisions, an historic personalities that culminated in the decision to drop the atomic bomb and brought the war in the Pacific to its climactic end. A masterful, meticulously researched work that captures the barbarity of the war waged by those who swore allegiance to the Japanese emperor - and by those who crushed the military might of the Rising Sun." - General David H. Petraeus, commander of the surge in Iraq (2007-8) and coalition forces in Afghanistan (2010-11) "Autumn 1944. World War II is nearly over in Europe but is escalating in the Pacific, where American soldiers face an opponent who will go to any length to avoid defeat. The Japanese army follows the samurai code of Bushido, stipulating that surrender is a form of dishonor. Killing the Rising Sun takes readers to the bloody tropical-island battlefields of Peleliu and Iwo Jima and to the embattled Philippines, where General Douglas MacArthur has made a triumphant return and is plotting a full-scale invasion of Japan. Across the globe in Los Alamos, New Mexico, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer and his team of scientists are preparing to test the deadliest weapon known to mankind. In Washington, DC, Harry Truman ascents to the presidency after FDR dies in office, only to face the most important political decision in history: whether to use that weapon. And in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito, who is considered a deity by his subjects, refuses to surrender, despite a massive and mounting death toll. Told in the same page-turning style as [each of the other books in the Killing series], this epic saga details the final moments of World War II like never before.".

Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "In the tenth book in the multi-million-selling Killing series, Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard take on their most dramatic subject yet: the Mob and the FBI's fight against it. In Killing the Mob, Bill O'Reilly and co-author Martin Dugard trace the brutal history of twentieth-century organized crime in the United States, through the larger-than-life stories of the most notorious outlaws, murderers, and Mob family bosses. Beginning in the 1930s, O'Reilly and Dugard reveal the truth behind the mythology of the bank robbers of the Depression era, such as John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, and Baby Face Nelson. Then, following the rise of organized crime, the authors highlight the creation of the Mafia Commission, the power struggles within the Five Families, and the growth of the FBI under its director, J. Edgar Hoover. After detailing the secret links between the Mafia and the Allies in World War II, Killing the Mob recounts the Mob battles to control Cuba, Las Vegas, and Hollywood; its controversial relationship with the Kennedy White House; and the personal war between U.S. Attorney General Bobby Kennedy and legendary Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa. Ranging from such killers as Al Capone and Albert Anastasia to secretive bosses like Sam Giancana and high-profile gangsters including Johnny Roselli and John Gotti, O'Reilly and Dugard turn these legendary criminals and their true-life escapades into a read that rivals the most riveting crime novel. Killing the Mob shows justs how deeply the Mob has influenced every aspect of American politics, entertainment, society, and labor in a page-turning history with shocks and surprises on every page." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Illustrated with maps and black-and-white photographs. ".Bill O'Reilly.recounts the dramatic final months of World War II in Europe, and General George S. Patton Jr.'s invaluable contributions to the Allied victory before his mysterious death in a car collision in December 1945, days before he was to return to the United States. Beginning in October 1944, when many believed the Allies had all but won the war in Europe, Killing Patton follows a remarkable cast of characters on the battlefield and off, including Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Winston Churchill, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The truth was that Germany was not ready to accept defeat and some of the bloodiest battles of the war lay ahead, battles in which George Patton and his Third Army would play a crucial role. At the time of his death, Patton had become known around the world as both an exalted commander with a hard-charging personality and a controversial hero, relieved of his duties by General Dwight Eisenhower in part because of his brusque manner and outspoken nature. For almost seventy years, there has been a suspicion that his death was not an accident - and may very well have been an act of assassination. In Killing Patton, O'Reilly and Dugard reveal the true man and the many powerful people who wanted him dead." - from the inside dust jacket flap The facts surrounding the death of Patton are disturbing to say the least. But they should be known by everyone." - from the inner front jacket flap. Sussman, Meryl Levavi (book design) (illustratore).

Who else can offer a loving, smart and funny, firsthand look at the defining cultural event of our time? He was there. With his eyes and ears open, an indelible feature of the landscape - musically, professionally, and personally. Enjoy the book." - James Taylor. "Peter Asher's fascinating insights, passion, charm, command of the English language, and musical expertise make his Beatles shows on SiriusXM the best. It is a pleasure to read this book and feel the same way." - Jerry Seinfeld. "At last, I finally understand the alphabet! I also love this book: secret Beatles knowledge from one of the closest insiders." - Steve Martin. "Fascinating and intriguing. I thought I knew all about the Beatles, but The Beatles from A to Zed is full of surprises. It reminded me of great tunes I had almost forgotten, and it led me to some wonderful tracks I'd never heard before. I read and listened simultaniously and had a great time." - Ken Follett. "I love Peter's music comments and the way he winds the stories into the songs. His voice is so authentically present that it's like having a conversation with him. I want to listen to all these songs again with this book on my lap." - Linda Ronstadt. "A legendary record producer and performer takes readers on an alphabetical journey of insights into the music of the Beatles and individual reminiscences of John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Peter Asher met the Beatles in the spirng of 1963, the start of a lifelong association with the band and its members. He had a front-row seat as they elevated pop music into an art form, and he was present at the creation of some of the most iconic music of our times. Asher is also a talented musician in his own right, with a great ear for what is new and fresh. Once, when Paul McCartney wrote a song that John Lennon didn't think was right for the Beatles, Asher asked if he could record it. "A World Without Love" became a global No. 1 hit for his duo, Peter & Gordon. A few years later Asher was asked by Paul McCartney to help start Apple Records; the first artist Asher discovered and signed up was a young American singer-songwriter named James Taylor. Before long he would be not only managing and producing Taylor but also (having left Apple and moved to Los Angeles) working with Linda Ronstadt, Neil Diamond, Robin Williams, Joni Mitchell, and Cher, among others. The Beatles from A to Zed grows out of his popular radio program "From Me to You" on SiriusXM's The Beatles Channel, where he shares memories and insights about the Fab Four and their music. Here he weaves his reflections into a whimsical alphabetical journey that focuses not only on songs whose titles start with each letter, but also on recurrent themes in the Beatles' music, the insturments they played, the innovations they pioneered, the artists who influenced them, the key people in their lives, and the cultural events of the time. Few can match Peter Asher for his fresh and personal perspective on the Beatles. And no one is a more congenial and entertaining guide to their music." - from the inner front jacket flap. Pracher, Rick (jacket design); Horton, Karen (jacket design); Regan, Ken (jacket photography); Levavi, Meryl Sussman (book design) (illustratore).

Includes List of Other Books by Peter Ames Carlin; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Saul Bellow; Notes; Acknowled…gments; Illustration Credits; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "[A] nuanced, fascinating portrait.Carlin expertly tracks Simon's professional career.[which] defies easy categorization - much as his relationship with Garfunkel does - but in Carlin's protrayal, his legacy as an innovative songwriter and musician is undeniable. An absorbing and layered study of one of the most influential voices in Western popular culture.' " - Kirkus Reviews. "If there is anyone who writes about modern musicians better than Carlin does, I don't know who it could possibly be." - Buzz Bissinger, author. "From the bestselling author of Bruce, the first major biography of American music icon Paul Simon. The Sound of Silence. Homeward Bound. Bridge Over Troubled Water. Mother and Child Reunion. Kodachrome. Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover. Still Crazy After All These Years. Graceland. Father and Daughter. Wristband. To have been alive during the last sixty years is to have lived with the music of Paul Simon. The boy from Queens scored his first hit record in 1957, just months after Elvis Presley ignited the rock era. As the songwriting half of Simon & Garfunkel, his work helped define the youth movement of the '60s. On his own in the '70s, Simon made radio-dominating hits. He kicked off the '80s by reuniting with Garfunkel to perform for half a million New Yorkers in Central Park. Five years later, Simon's album Graceland sold millions and spurred an international political controversy. And he's not finished: Simon's latest album, Stranger to Stranger, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard album charts when it was released in June 2016. The grandchild of Jewish emigrants from Galicia in the Austro-Hungarian empire, the seventy-five-year-old singer songwriter has sold more than one hundred million records, won fifteen Grammy awards, and been installed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. Simon has also played significant, often controversial, roles in many major events of the last sixty years: from Tin Pan Alley to Spotify; from the civil rights era to the anti-apartheid movement; from the Monterey Pop Festival to Saturday Night Live, Woody Allen's Anne Hall, the rebirth of the modern Broadway musical, and beyond. A life story with the scope and power of an epic novel, Peter Amers Carlin's Homeward Bound reveals one of the most influential popular artists in American history as he has never been seen before: as a boy and a man, an artist and a businessman, a lover and husband, and the living animation of America's ever-changing definitions of personal and cultural identity." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

"For the first time, the incredible true story of the legendary band, The Doobie Brothers, written by founding members Pat Simmons and Tom Johnston. Only a very few rock bands have had the longevity, success, and drama of the Doobie Brothers. Born out of late 1960s NorCal, and led by Pat Simmons and Tom Johnston, they stood alongside their contemporaries the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers, and many others as an iconic American rock band. The train was rolling along, hits were flowing like wine, and arenas were packed with fans who wanted to see them live.then Tom Johnston, the band's front man and lead guitarist, became ill and had to leave. The Doobies' train came to a screeching halt. All of a sudden the band started contemplating the end of the road only seven years into their career, just as things were taking off. But Pat Simmons made sure they were far from the end and began the process of keeping the band together through most of the next decade. A soul-steeped backup singer for Steely Dan named Michael McDonald took a shot at singing some of the Doobies' songs on tour, and just like that a new chapter in the Doobie Brothers' story began. The band expanded their sound and had even more hits with their new front addition. Tom recovered from his health issues, but the band had moved on. When it came time for a reunion concert in the '80s, Tom got the call and was back in the mix. Led once again by Pat and Tom, the Doobie Brothers have been touring ever since and maintain a massive fan base the world over. Never before have Pat and Tom shared their story, in their own words. In Long Train Runnin' they'll change that." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. Grom, Rob (jacket design); Levavi, Meryl Sussman (book design) (illustratore).

Read it and come away, like Mark, re-energized and re-inspired to follow Sargent Shriver's extraordinary example." - Marian Wright Edelman. "This tender, enduring memoir is a moving portrait of a son's struggle to deal with the gradual disappearance of a beloved father through the progressive stages of Alzheimer's. It is a praiseworthy book." - Doris Kearns Goodwin. "Asking around, in order to write about Sarge Shriver, I could find no one with a bad word to say about him. This book tells why. The mystery of goodness is deeper than the mystery of evil." - Garry Wills. "When Sargent "Sarge" Shriver - founder of the Peace Corps and architect of President Johnson's War on Poverty - died in 2011 after a long and valiant fight with Alzheimer's, thousands of tributes poured in from firends and strangers worldwide. These tributes, which extolled the daily kindness and humanity of "a good man," moved his son Mark far more than those thatl auded Sarge for his big-stage, headline-making accomplishments. After a lifetime trying to make sense of the Kennedy family legacy, Mark knew that now was the time to search for the source of his father's joy, his devotion to others, and his sense of purpose. Recounting stories from his own childhood in the always bustling Shriver household and revisiting Sarge's myriad contributions to our nation, especially during the tumultuous years surrounding the Kennedy assassinations, Mark zeroes in on the three guiding principles of his father's life - faith, hope, and love. But it is Sarge's courage and grace during his battle with Alzheimer's, and Mark's difficult journey as his son during this time, that become perhaps the best illustration of what it takes to be not a great man but a good man. A bave and deeply personal story of a son discovering the true meaning of his father's legacy, A Good Man reminds us that we can learn from our parents not just while they are alive but also after they are gone." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

"The star-studded and sidesplitting follow-up to the New York Times bestseller The Andy Cohen Diaries. Since the publication of his last book, Andy Cohen has toured the country with Anderson Cooper; hit the radio waves with his own Sirius channel, Radio Andy; appeared on Bill Maher despite his mother's conviction he was not intellectually suited; hosted NBC's prime-time New Year's Eve speccial; guest-edited Entertainment Weekly; became text buddies with Cher; road-tripped with John Mayer; welcomed home Teresa "Namaste" Giudice from a brief stint in jail; and dealt with his beloved dog Wacha's PTSD. Hopping from the Hamptons to the Manhattan dating scene, from the dog park to the red carpet, the New York City subways to mega-yachts in the Caribbbean, Cardinals superfan and mama's boy Andy Cohen is the kind of star that fans are dying to hang out with. This book gives them that chance. If The Andy Cohen Diaries was deemed "the literary equivalent of a Fresca and tequila" by Jimmy Fallon, Superficial is a double: dishier, juicier, and friskier. In this account of his escapades - personal, professional, and behind-the-scenes - Andy gives readers a rare glimpse into the drama and rose-filled days and nights of a twenty-first-century celebrity." - from the inner front jacket flap.
