Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling by Amy Chozick (Audiobook) Title: Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns, and One Intact Glass Ceiling Author: Amy Chozick Narrator: Amy Chozick Genre: Biography & Autobiography - Political Type: Audiobook Delivery method: Please refer to "Shipping & Payment" Description: For nearly a decade, Amy Chozick chronicled Hillary Clintonﾒs pursuit of the presidency. Chozickﾒs front-row seat, initially at the Wall Street Journal covering Mrs. Clintonﾒs imploding 2008 campaign, and then at the New York Times where she was assigned ﾓThe Hillary Beatﾔ, set off a years-long journey in which the formative years of her twenties and thirties became, both personally and professionally, intrinsically intertwined to Clintonﾒs presidential ambitions. As Mrs. Clinton tried, and twice failed, to shatter ﾓthat highest hardest glass ceiling,ﾔ Chozick was trying, with various fits and starts, to scale the highest echelons of American journalism. In a rollicking, hilarious, dishy narrative, Chozick takes us through the high- (and low-) lights of a wildly dramatic presidential race. But Chozickﾒs unique vantage point and candor lift the veil from the story we thought we all knew. Here is the real story of what happened, with the kind of inside detail that constantly surprises and enlightens. But Chasing Hillary is also the unusually personal and moving story of how Chozick came to understand Clinton not as an unknowable enigma and political animal, but as a complete, complex, person, full of contradictions and forged in the crucible of political battles that had long predated Chozickﾒs years covering her. And as Chozick gets engaged, married, buys an apartment, climbs the professional ladder, and inquires about freezing her eggs so she can have children after the 2016 campaign, she dives deeper into decisions Mrs. Clinton had made at similar points in her early career. In the process, Chozick develops an intimate understanding of what drives Clinton, how she accomplished what no woman had before, and why she ultimately failed. And the social fissures in the electorate that would drive angry voters to Donald Trump and blindside Hillary Clinton, unexpectedly bring out the tensions in Chozickﾒs own life-between the red state she came from and the blue state she ended up in, between her desire to climb in journalism as a woman, but be treated no differently than a man. Mrs. Clinton's shocking defeat would mark the end of the almost imperial hold she'd had on Chozick for most of her professional life. But the results also make Chozick question everything sheﾒd worked so hard for in the first place. Political journalism had failed. The elite world Chozick had tried for years to fit in with had been rebuffed. The less qualified, bombastic man had triumphed, as they always seemed to do, and Mrs. Clinton had retreated to the woods in Chappaqua, N.Y. finally comfortable enough to just walk, no makeup, no pants suit, showing the real person Chozick had spent years hoping to see. Illuminating, poignant, laugh-out-loud funny, Chasing Hillary is a campaign book like never before.

Like most fans he followed the team when he could until in 1979 he saw an advertisement in the local paper which said: 'Liverpool Football Club invite invitations for the position of Lottery Sales Manager to work for the Development Association'.. Frank applied and, despite wearing a pale green double breasted suit and lime green tie for the interview, got the job. He stayed for ten years as Liverpool dominated English football. With Frank in the development office they won the First Division six times, the FA Cup twice, the League Cup four times and the European Cup twice. It wasn't all success, though. In 1985 Frank led an official supporters party to Brussels to watch the European Cup final with Juventus. The result was horror in the Heysel Stadium as 39 fans, mostly Italians, lost their lives. As Frank writes: 'I was heavily involved in the build up to Heysel and witnessed firsthand the aftermath and results of those morons that led the charge into the neutral zone Z and it has haunted me ever since so Christ knows what the families of the dead have gone through.' Frank also remembers the build up to another tragedy - the Hillsborough disaster - looking out in 1988 at the Liverpool fans in the Leppings Lane end and thinking how crushed they were. By January 1989 Frank had left after a row. He was cleaning his car when he heard about the tragedy in which 96 Liverpool fans lost their lives. The book is about triumph and tragedy. Frank shows the human side of the men who became legends.

About the product 8vo; original green rexine, lettered in black on spine and upper cover; pp. (viii) + 116, incl. index; plates; maps, incl. folding. Very good condition. Uncommon. The author attempts"to describe how, between 1871 and 1881, the Cape government on behalf of the British Government, performed the task of ruling the Basotho, who had become British subjects in March 1868. Several problems arose from this exercise in government by proxy. The attitude of the Basotho towards the Cape, for example, hinted at their dissatisfaction with the arrangement. From time to time their spokesmen said they would have preferred direct rule by England, and were a little unhappy to find themselves wards of the Cape Colony. The Cape's relations with the republic of the Orange Free State were in danger of becoming less cordial because of the treatment of the Basotho by the officials and/or ordinary citizens of that country, which sometimes elicited protests from the Cape authorities. Then there was always the question of the Cape's administration of the Africans within its borders, which could influence it to manage the affairs of Lesotho in a manner likely to be unpopular with the Basotho."

Herring's 2008 From Colony to Superpower has won wide acclaim from critics and readers alike. Years of Peril and Ambition: U.S. Foreign Relations, 1776-1921 is the first volume of a new split paperback edition of that masterwork, making this award-winning title accessible to those with a particular interest in the first half of the United States' history. This first volume of Herring's international narrative charts the rise of the United States from a loose grouping of British colonies huddled along the Atlantic coast of North America into an emerging world power at the end of World War I. It tells an epic story of restless settlers pushing against weak restraints; of explorers, sea captains, adventurers, merchants, and missionaries carrying American ways to new lands. It analyzes countless crises, some resulting in war and others resolved peacefully. Above all, it is the tale of United States' expansion, commercial and political, across the North American continent, into the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean regions, and, economically, worldwide. Herring brings this first segment of America's dramatic emergence as a superpower to a close with the United States' post-World War I rise to the status of the world's most powerful nation, poised-however unsteadily-for global engagement in what would be called the American Century. Years of Peril and Ambition highlights the ongoing impact of the nation's international affairs on the household names of U.S. history but also on ordinary citizens. Featuring a grand cast of characters, encompassing statesmen and presidents, diplomats and foreigners, and rogues and rascals alike, this fast-paced account illuminates the central importance of foreign relations to the existence and survival of the nation.
