The house of Kennedy / by Patterson, James,1947-author.; Fagen, Cynthia,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 343-421).The Kennedys have always been a family of charismatic adventurers, raised to take risks and excel, living by the dual family mottos: "To whom much is given, much is expected" and "Win at all costs." And they do--but at a price. Across decades and generations, the Kennedys have occupied a unique place in the American imagination: charmed, cursed, at once familiar and unknowable. The House of Kennedy is a revealing, fascinating account of America's most storied family, as told by America's most trusted storyteller.

Canada alone : navigating the post-American world / by Nossal, Kim Richard,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.We are likely to see the illiberal, anti-democratic, and authoritarian Make America Great Again movement dominate American politics in the 2020s. But if a MAGA Republican becomes president in 2025, the West will likely fracture under the stresses of a re-invigorated America First policy and the purposeful abandonment of American global leadership. This would leave Canadians all alone in North America with an increasingly dysfunctional U.S. In 'Canada Alone', Kim Richard Nossal outlines what Canadians will need to navigate this deeply unfamiliar post-American world.

Mar-a-Lago : inside the gates of power at Donald Trump's presidential palace / by Leamer, Laurence,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-280) and index.To know Donald J. Trump it is best to start in his natural habitat: Palm Beach, Florida. It is here he learned the techniques that took him all the way to the White House. Painstakingly, over decades, he has created a world in this exclusive tropical enclave where he is not just a president but a king. The vehicle for his triumph is Mar-a-Lago, one of the greatest mansions ever built in the United States. The inside story of how he became King of Palm Beach--and how Palm Beach continues to be his spiritual home even as president--is rollicking, troubling, and told with unrivaled access and understanding by Laurence Leamer. In this book, the reader will learn: * How Donald Trump bought a property now valued by some at as much as $500 million for less than three thousand dollars of his own money. * Why Trump was blackballed by the WASP grandees of the island and how he got his revenge. * How Trump joined forces with the National Enquirer, which was headquartered nearby, and engineered his own divorce. * How by turning Mar-a-Lago into a private club, Trump was the unlikely man to integrate Palm Beach's restricted country club scene, and what his real motives were. * What transpires behind the gates of today's Mar-a-Lago during "the season," when President Trump and assorted D.C. power players fly down each weekend. In addition to copious interviews and reporting from inside Mar-a-Lago, Laurence Leamer brings an acute and unparalleled understanding of the society of Palm Beach, where he has lived for twenty-five years. He has written an essential book for understanding Donald Trump's inner character.
