‎CHANCES OF A LIFETIME: A Memoir‎

‎New York New York U.S.A.: Scribner 2001. First Edition First Printing 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Warren Christopher is that rarest of Washington personalities: a wise and witty public servant once described by the 'Washington Post' as the "the antithesis of the glitz-hungry self-aggrandizing corner-cutting political figures who dominate Washington today." In this memoir the man whose sage counsel and sometimes parodied discretion brought him to the right hand of mayors governors and presidents shares his personal recollections and impressions of leaders and events that shaped the second half of the twentieth century. Writing in tightly-crafted often self-effacing prose Christopher chronicles how he left the privacy of life at a premier law firm to heed calls to public service from Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley and California Governor Edmund "Pat" Brown--as well as presidents Lyndon Johnson Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Throughout his career Christopher faced diverse challenges: he advised a president on whether to dispatch federal troops to quell civil disturbances; led negotiations to free American hostages in Iran; investigated a major city's police force gone awry; and helped cope with Yitzhak Rabin's assassination. CHANCES OF A LIFETIME is an engaging insider's account of some of the most fascinating domestic and international episodes in contemporary American history from the highly respected former Secretary of State who remains a democratic elder statesman.

‎Blumenthal, Sidney‎

‎THE CLINTON WARS‎

‎New York N. Y. U.S.A.: Farrar Straus & Giroux 2003. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. When in 1997 Bill Clinton appointed Sidney Blumenthal as a senior advisor the former writer was catapulted into the front lines of the Clinton wars. From his first day in the White House until long after his appearance as the only presidential aide ever to testify in an impeachment trial Blumenthal acted in or witnessed nearly all the battles of the Clinton years. His major new book-part history part memoir-is the first inside account we have of the presidency of William Jefferson Clinton. THE CLINTON WARS begins in 1987 when Blumenthal first met Bill and Hillary Clinton. His chronicle of Clinton's first presidential campaign and first term draws on his experiences as confidant to both the President and the First Lady and is enriched with previously unpublished revelations about both. This remarkable personal interpretation goes far in explaining the polarizing nature of Clinton's presence on the national scene. The narrative of Clinton's second term is even more dramatic. Blumenthal takes special note of the battle that was waged within the media between the President's detractors and defenders which he expands into a vivid picture of Washington society torn apart by warring factions. But he does not neglect the wars fought on other fronts-in Kosovo against Congress and for economic prosperity. His remarkable book ends with the inside story of the fight to elect Al Gore in 2000 and extend the legacy of the Clinton-Gore Administration. Every page of this unrivaled authoritative book with its intimate insights into Clinton's personality and politics attests to Blumenthal's literary skill profound understanding of politics and unique perspective on crucial events of our recent past. The Clinton Wars is a lasting contribution to American history. 822 pp. Fine unread first edition first printing in fine mylar-protected dust jacket.
