"Arnold Palmer driving the 1st green in the final round of the 1960 U.S. Open. Hale Irwin sinking a cross-country putt on the 72nd hole of the 1990 U.S. Open. Tiger Woods hitting a 6-iron from the bunker to secure the 2000 Canadian Open. All three, the experts say, belong among the game's greatest, most memorable shots. But what do the players who hit them think? Ron Cherney, a California dentist with a lifelong passion for the game, decided to find out. For five years, Cherney and sportswriter Michael Arkush sent out letters to the best players in the world asking what they felt was the greatest shot they ever hit. Amazingly, the responses poured in. Players sent letters, e-mails, faxes, and, believe it or not, a Post-it - describing what they were thinking and feeling when they pulled off the shot of their lives. Some were clutch shots, executed before big crowds in big tournaments, others were hit far away from the spotlight, but provided the confidence the players needed to fulfill their dream of competing at the top level. Cherney and Arkush have compiled 80 of these accounts complete with brief interviews with the players and highlights of their careers. In addition to Palmer, Irwin, and Woods revealing their greatest shot, the collection includes letters from Amy Alcott, Se Ri Pak, Tom Watson, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, and many other top players. My Greatest Shot is an irresistible gift for any golf fan." - from the inner front jacket flap. Ruoto, William (book design); Brown, Andrea (jacket design) (illustratore). …

They are the difference between success and failure and are critical for understanding the challenges of life. As the daughter of a veteran, I have the utmost respect for Harris Faulkner, who in this book details the lessons from her time as a military brat - lessons that have led her to such an amazing life and career. Follow her lead as you seek out your own path for life, and you will achieve your goals!" - Meghan McCain, from the rear outer jacket. "Harris Faulkner's 9 Rules of Engagement: Rule #!: Recruit Your Special Forces; Rule #2: Deal With Your Demons; Rule #3: Stay Ready; Rule #4: Devise Your Mission; Rule #5: Wear Camo; Rule #6: Unleash The Power of Integrity; Rule #7: Think Like a General; Rule #8: Own Your Moment; Rule #9: When Things Fall Apart; Believe You Have The Answer." - from the rear outer jacket. "9 rules for life; 9 rules for work; 9 rules from a soldier to his daughter. Growing up in a military family, Harris Faulkner revered her father, Lieutenant Colonel Bob Harris, a high-ranking officer, pilot, and avionics specialist in the United States military who served two tours in Vietnam. As a young military brat accompanying him from post to post, Harris experienced firsthand how success in life was rooted in the knowledge, integrity, and duty that came from her military surroundings. These formative lessons in leadership and work ethic became the guiding principles for her career as a journalist, eventually leading her to become one of the top anchors at Fox News. In 9 Rules of Engagement, Harris uses her father's stories, his career, and the profound father-daughter bond they've shared throughut her life to explore nine life lessons - each rooted in military life - that have shaped her career and molded her as a person. Whether discussing how to "devise your mission," "stay ready," or "think like a general," these rules reflect a lifetime spent absorbing the military mindset for success, while always keeping one foot in the civilian world. Examining the courage, determination, and patriotism that her father's service has inspired in her, Harris shows how his stories of combat and responsibility have been an essential ingredient in her rise through the ranks of national broadcasting, guiding her to her golas regardless of the circumstances. Along the way she interviews other military families, generals, and former and active service members now serving in the United States Congress to illuminate why the message and mission of the military is so effective at changing lives both on and off the battlefield. Illustrated with sixteen pages of never-before-seen photos of her father's service and her own life, this instructive and motivational guide shows the transformative power of our military's ideals, offering a fascinating exploration of how its most treasured values can help all Americans succeed, and demonstrating the truth to the adage that, in military families, the whole family serves - together." - from the inner front and rear jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. New condition black boards, white spine, and red spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Peter Schweizer; Author Dedication; Conclusion; Acknowledgments; Notes; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with a section of color photographic plates. Third printing. "America's top politicians have discovered the scam to end all scams. Peter Schweizer has been fighting corruption - and winning - for years. In Throw Them All Out, he exposed insider trading by members of Congress, leading to the passage of the STOCK Act. In Extortion, he uncovered how politicians us mafia-like tactics to enrich themselves. And in Clinton Cash, he revealed the Clintons' massive money machine and sparked an FBI investigation. Now he explains how a new corruption has taken hold, involving larger sums of money than ever before. Stuffing tens of thousands of dollars into a freezer has morphed into multibillion-dollar equity deals done in the dark corners of the world. An American bank opening in China would be prohibited by US law from hiring a slew of family members of top Chinese politicians. However, a Chinese bank opening in America can hire anyone it wants. It can even invite the friends and families of American politicians to invest in can't-lose deals. President Donald Trump's children have made front pages across the world for their dicey transactions. However, the media has barely looked into questionable deals made by those close to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Mitch McConnell, and lesser-known politicians who have been in the game longer. In many parts of the world, the children of powerful political figures go into business and profit handsomely, not necessarily because they are good at it, but because people want to curry favor with their influential parents. This is a relatively new phenomenon in the United States. But for relatives of some prominent political families, we may already be talking about hundreds of millions of dollars. Deeply researched and packed with shocking revelations, Secret Empires identifies public servants who cannot be trusted and provides a path toward a more accountable government." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Garten; Author Dedication; Introduction; Author's Note; Acknowledgments; Key Figures and Positions Held; Notes; Bibliography; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. ".a fascinating character-driven story. It provides critical historical perspective on America's role in the world, including the constant tension between nationalism and global engagement." - Walter Isaacson, author. ". a riveting account of one of the most consequential - if often overlooked - moments in financial history. Garten gives us Richard Nixon before the disastrous fall, making the pathos of the events all the more poignant. It's required reading for anyone eager to understand the world's current economic challenges." - William D. Cohan, author. "Garten tells a tale of gold and guarantees, secrecy and surprise, and conflict and cooperation. His fast-paced history brings the characters alive, explains complexity with clarity, and reveals America's competing impulses of leadership and retrenchment - a tension alive today." - Robert B. Zoellick, former president of the World Bank, former U.S. trade representative, and author. "Over three days at a top secret meeting at Camp David - from August 13 to 15, 1971 - President Richard Nixon and his brain trust sat down to decide the fate of the dollar. What they did changed the course of history. Since 1944, all national currencies had been valued against the U.S. dollar, which itself was convertible to gold at a fixed rate. It was a system that fueled the phenomenal recovery of Western Europe and much of East Asia from the ashes of war, together with an unprecedented expansion of middle-class prosperity in America. Yet the U.S. gold supply was dwindling dramatically, and the group at Camp David felt compelled to sever the link between the dollar and the precious metal, sending the global economy into a tailspin and creating shock waves throughout America's most important alliances. In so doing, Nixon and his team were signaling that the United States was no longer rich and powerful enough to hold up the free world economically and militarily, and that it needed help from its democratic partners. Then, as now, the pressures of globalization were bearing down on America, and nationalism and protectinism were on the rise. Then, as now, Washington was seeking a fairer trading system and imploring its allies to spend more on their own military defense. Then, as now, Ameica was asking whether the cost of global leadership was too high, and its citizens were simultaneously demanding much more attention to problems at home, including unemployment, health care, and civil rights. In abandoning the gold-dollar connection, the Nixon administration opened the way for a highly volatile and crisis-prone world economy. But at the same time, it ushered in an era of enormous expansion of trade and investment across borders, leading to four decades of continued global economic growth. In addition, after the Camp David meeting, Nixon successfully leveraged the crisis, which he himself had created, to strengthen political alliances and international economic cooperation. Three Days at Camp David takes us into the room where the decision was made to untie the dollar from gold, bringing to life the backgrounds and mind-sets of the men around the table. Based on extensive research and interviews with many participants at the Camp David meeting, and informed by his own insights from his hands-on experience in Washington and on Wall Street, plus his teaching at Yale, Garten has written the definitive record of a critical historical turning point, with significant implications for America in the years ahead." - from the jacket flaps.

That's the kind of history you'll find in The Greatest Stories Never Told. This is history candy - the good stuff.

A new discovery waits on every page: stories that changed the course of history and stories that affected what you had for breakfast this morning. Consider: The Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock because they ran out of beer; Some Roman officials were so corrupt that they actually stole time itself; Three cigars changed the course of the Civil War; The Scottish kilt was invented by an Englishman.
