From the dust jacket: "President Bill Clinton's MY LIFE is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts and his extraordinary capacity for hard work to serving the public. It shows us the progress of a remarkable American who through his own enormous energies and efforts made the unlikely journey from Hope Arkansas to the White House -- a journey fueled by an impassioned interest in the political process which manifested itself at every stage of his life: in college working as an intern for Senator William Fulbright; at Oxford becoming part of the Vietnam War protest movement; at Yale Law School campaigning on the grassroots level for Democratic candidates; back in Arkansas running for Congress attorney general and governor. We see his career shaped by his resolute determination to improve the life of his fellow citizens an unfaltering commitment to civil rights and an exceptional understanding of the practicalities of political life. We come to understand the emotional pressures of his youth -- born after his father's death; caught in the dysfunctional relationship between his feisty nurturing mother and his abusive stepfather whom he never ceased to love and whose name he took; drawn to the brilliant compelling Hillary Rodham whom he was determined to marry; passionately devoted from her infancy to their daughter Chelsea and to the entire experience of fatherhood; slowly and painfully beginning to comprehend how his early denial of pain led him at times into damaging patterns of behavior. President Clinton's book is also the fullest most concretely detailed most nuanced account of a presidency ever written -- encompassing not only the high points and crises but the way the presidency actually works: the day-to-day bombardment of problems personalities conflicts setbacks achievements. It is a testament to the positive impact on America and on the world of his work and his ideals. It is the gripping account of a president under concerted and unrelenting assault orchestrated by his enemies on the Far Right and how he survived and prevailed.". Signed by Bill Clinton.

He wrote mostly adventurous yarns of the sea for British and American story papers and pulps. Nowadays he's almost forgotten except by pulp collectors and Sherlock Holmes buffs… WHO WAS WHO reveals that Dingle first went to sea at the age of 14 and commanded both sail and steam ship until the age of 40. He began writing for American magazines eventually returning to England in 1930. As well as writing novels and short stories he was a frequent broadcaster and sailed his own schooner yacht in ocean races. At various times in his life he built gasworks managed a rope factory… was footman for J. Pierpont Morgan the American financier sold dictionaries to Negroes living in New York and was a labourer in Thames Ironworks shipyard." -- Bear Alley Books. "His last command was shipwrecked which indirectly led to his becoming a writer. He was coming from Australia on the Mara with a load of frozen lamb. Drippings from the refrigerators had accumulated in the bilge the lowest compartment on a ship where the two sides meet at the keel so he ordered the sea cocks opened to let in sea water to reduce the smell. A minute later the ship exploded under him - the sea water had somehow reached the boilers - and he was thrown from the ship and rescued by an American schooner. As a result of this incident he lost his master's papers and without them could not get other jobs at sea. This was in 1911. A friend convinced him that New York had more opportunities than England so he sold his home left the cash with his family and landed in New York after working his way across as a waiter on a steamer." - Pulp Flakes.

From the publisher: "If you ever wondered what happened to the original Jim Rose Circus Sideshow then you will definitely want to read this book! This is the ONLY book that tells how it all began! The most imaginative casting agent couldn't have chosen the original troupe with more flair. The Amazing Mister Lifto The Torture King The Enigma Matt The Tube Crowley with Dolly the Doll Lady. They were led by the maniacal hype-master himself Jim Rose who was assisted by Bebe the Circus Queen. These Human Marvels came together to revive the ancient art of Sideshow… which had been nearly lost… but not forgotten. Before rock-and-roll there was Sideshow which also captivated mystified and enraged audiences for over a hundred years. But by the end of the 20th century you could count remaining Sideshows on one hand. Entertainment had become sanitized and corporatized for mass consumption; lukewarm safe with no sharp edges. There was a whole new generation that had been born and raised on rock-and-roll. Sideshow virgins who knew absolutely nothing about the eyeball-bulging faint-inducing antics of the Human Marvels of Yesteryear. That is until a modern Sideshow came to town. The contemporary tale -- as told by tour manager Jan T. Gregor -- is one of bannings sex drugs fame lust longing camaraderie and betrayal. Intertwined into the present-day story is an equally compelling historical voice: the intimate passages from a long-lost and only recently discovered 142-year-old diary. The average person inherently curious has always been both fascinated and repulsed by Human Oddities and their unusual feats. CIRCUS OF THE SCARS is the ultimate rollercoaster ride careening through two years of Sideshow present while simultaneously barreling down 150 years of Sideshow past. CIRCUS OF THE SCARS takes you on a bizarre odyssey around the globe with a Sideshow troupe that truly was live real raw and dangerous. Learn the hidden secrets behind one of the most emotion-inducing acts of the 20th Century.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.
