An Hour Before Daylight
by Jimmy Carter
The former president offers an intriguing account of growing up on a Georgia farm during the Depression and provides incisive profiles of the people who shaped his life: his segregationist farmer father, strong-willed nurse mother, eccentric relatives, boyhood friends, and others.
Alexander Hamilton
by Ron Chernow
The personal life of Alexander Hamilton, an illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean who rose to become George Washington's aide-de-camp and the first Treasury Secretary of the United States, is captured in a definitive biography by the National Book Award-winning author of The House of Morgan.
The Life of Nelson A. Rockefeller
by Cary Reich
A triumph of the biographers art, The Life of Nelson A. Rockefeller is the first full-length biography of one of the most powerful, magnetic, fascinating figures on the twentieth-century stage.Of all the great American dynastic families, few could match the combined wealth, power, and influence of the Rockefellers. And of all the Rockefellers, none was more determined to use these advantages than Nelson A. Rockefeller.Nelson was never content to live off the fame and fortune due him as a Rockefeller. His imperious grandfather, John D. Rockefeller, and intimidating father, John Jr., set standards and boundaries that Nelson blithely ignored. He pushed for position within the family, and then broke a family taboo by taking his ambition to the forbidden world of politics. A devoted family man, he took many lovers with an almost casual sense of droit du seigneur. He surrounded himself with brilliant, devoted subordinates; he flattered and cajoled more powerful people who would also end up serving his needs.Handsome, ferociously energetic, charming, and ruthless, Rockefeller had a rapacious appetite for life--and for power--that showed itself in the stunning breadth of his activities and in the daring of his ideas. Nelsons sunny, optimistic demeanor masked a Machiavellian mind. At a young age he wrested control of the Rockefeller Center project from his fathers minions, turned the Museum of Modern Art into a world-class institution, used a midlevel bureaucratic position during World War II to run the affairs of an entire continent; through pure ego and drive he bent the United Nations conference to his will and redirected the path of history. Nelson A. Rockefellers fierce drive to achieve would have a profound effect on a city, a state, a nation, and the world.Cary Reich's masterful biography, eight years in the making, brings this awesome figure to life. Reich enjoyed unprecedented access to the Rockefeller family archives, scrutinized FBI and FOIA files, and interviewed over three hundred individuals for the book, including many who had never spoken about Rockefeller for the record. This two-volume work (the second to appear in 1997) will surely stand alongside the works of Robert Caro, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and David McCullough.Cary Reich is the author of Financier: The Biography of Andr Meyer. He is the former executive editor of Institutional Investor and has written numerous portraits of the powerful and the wealthy. He is the recipient of numerous journalism awards, including the Overseas Press Award, the Deadline Club Award, and the John Hancock Award for Excellence in Business and Financial Journalism. He lives in New York City.

Turning Point
Carter, Jimmy
New York: Crown, December 22, 1992 1992. Hardcover. as new. 9.5 x 6.2 x 1 inches. Incribed ffep otherwise new. Hardcover 1st Edition, not remainder, not price clipped.\n\nFrom Publishers Weekly\n\nIn this engrossing account of his first campaign for public office, the former President describes himself as a naive 38-year-old farmer and small-businessman who got an education in the rough-and-tumble of Georgia politics. The year was 1962, and the "one man, one vote" ruling had just been handed down by the Supreme Court. On Election Day Carter watched helplessly as Joe Hurst, a supporter of his opponent in the race for state senator, stole the election with blatant ballot-stuffing. Carter hired a lawyer and, aided by a journalist's expose, forced a recount to come up a winner. A suspenseful narrative about a neophyte's harsh introduction to regional politics, the story of Carter's local victory also illuminates the end of the legalized system of white supremacy, rural domination of government and deprivation of civil rights for blacks in the South. Noting that the race issue has returned to American politics, Carter characterizes the U.S. as a once-again segregated nation. In the concluding chapter he discusses the Atlanta Project, which he heads with the former First Lady, a project aimed at improving the quality of life in the inner cities. Photos. Major ad/promo; author tour. \nCopyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.\n\n\nFrom Library Journal\n\nFormer President Carter has written an account of his successful 1962 bid for a seat in the Georgia State Senate. The campaign occurred as Georgia and the remainder of the South were struggling with federal court mandates to end racial segregation in schools and to reapportion state legislatures to provide greater representation for urban areas. As one of the "New South" Democrats who emerged in the region in the 1960s and 1970s, Carter was a "moderate" on racial issues. He does not, however, clearly explain here what his views on segregation were at the time or how they evolved. Carter's account of the campaign does capture the colorful flavor and the not infrequently irregular election practices that characterized rural Southern politics during this era. General readers will appreciate these aspects of the book, but they may find Carter's discussions of Georgia's unusual "county unit" electoral system and the legal issues raised in his battle against voting fraud somewhat difficult to follow.
