Kennedy, a Green Beret, decorated Army sniper, and UFC headliner, has tackled a bull with his bare hands, jumped out of airplanes, dove to the depths of the ocean, and traveled the world hunting poachers, human traffickers, and the Taliban. But he’s also the same man who got kicked out of the police department, fire department, and as an EMT, before getting two women pregnant four days apart, and finally, been beaten up by his Special Forces colleagues.

Story
In Three Days in Moscow, Baier explores the dramatic endgame of America’s long struggle with the Soviet Union and President Ronald Reagan’s central role in shaping the world we live in today. On May 31, 1988, Reagan stood on Russian soil and addressed a packed audience at Moscow State University, delivering a remarkable - yet now largely forgotten - speech that capped his first visit to the Soviet capital.

Story
The chiefs of staff, often referred to as "the gatekeepers", wield tremendous power in Washington and beyond; they decide who is allowed to see the president, negotiate with Congress to push POTUS's agenda, and - most crucially - enjoy unparalleled access to the leader of the free world. Through extensive, intimate interviews with 18 living chiefs (including Reince Priebus) and two former presidents, award-winning journalist and producer Chris Whipple pulls back the curtain on this unique fraternity. In doing so, he revises our understanding of presidential history.

The issue of immigration stirs intense emotions today, as it has throughout much of American history. But what gets lost in the debates about policy are the stories of immigrants themselves, the people who are drawn to America by its promise of economic opportunity and political and religious freedom - and who strengthen our nation in countless ways. Out of Many, One brings together 43 full-color portraits of men and women who have immigrated to the United States, alongside stirring stories of the unique ways all of them are pursuing the American dream.

Story
Ronald Reagan today is a conservative icon, celebrated for transforming the American domestic agenda and playing a crucial part in ending communism in the Soviet Union. In his masterful new biography, H. W. Brands argues that Reagan, along with FDR, was the most consequential president of the 20th century. Reagan took office at a time when the public sector, after a half century of New Deal liberalism, was widely perceived as bloated and inefficient, an impediment to personal liberty.

A special poignant look into 41's private life
With his recent passing, I felt comforted hearing his voice and learning more about this amazing patriot and patriarch of the Bush Family. I laughed and cried, sometimes at the same time. Put aside your political affiliation and learn many valuable life lessons from this former POTUS that did not receive the respect he deserved until far too late. I wish I had received this earlier, so I could have written him a note saying I admired him as a President, Navy hero, and parent. He certainly gave all his best during his service to the country for all of the various ways he served our country. Godspeed Mr. President.

Nice way to tell a nice story about a nice guy. President Bush may be one of the most underrated presidents and best one term presidents of all time, but his qualifications for his political beginnings and 43s seem questionable.

Fascinating history of the presidency and Cold War
The details and topics are incredible and I feel as if I understand so much since WWII to the Clinton years. I understand fully in hindsight the history years that I grew up in. Genuine, poetic , and insight into a family of politicians who have integrity, a great moral compass, and sadly a time when we could be proud of so many traditions connected with the presidency, what an amazing family for all of us to be proud of!

He lived a good life
In my opinion, this man was one of the most qualified presidents that we have had. He was well grounded and had good intentions. I don’t think many men or women with his beliefs and passion for family would want to be president today.
This book would be interesting even for those of you that did not like President Bush’s political views. It is about a lot more than politics.

A perfectly intelligent piece of work
A really outstanding piece of literature that is increasingly well written. I found that I developed in the most important ways while listening to this book and I think it is a paramount for young men comming of age like myself to find maturation through outlets such as this one. I highly recommend this book.
