Mainstream historians view Calvin Coolidge as a
political and personal cipher -- a man of few words and
fewer accomplishments who, as liberal columnist Walter
Lippman famously charged, possessed a veritable "genius for
inactivity." But if "inactivity" is defined as a spirited,
principled, often brilliantly eloquent, active opposition
to government intervention in the economy and the
invariably crushing tax burdens that follow -- then in
articulating and implementing that opposition Calvin
Coolidge deserves to be remembered as one of our most
accomplished and indeed quotable presidents, whose writing
H.L. Mencken once praised as possessing "almost Lincolnian
austerity and beauty." Silent Cal's Almanack is the
ultimate distillation of Calvin Coolidge's political
wisdom, and includes hundreds of topically arranged
quotations, a collection of anecdotes showing his
inimitable wit in action, a generous selection of his key
speeches, a biographical essay, a 50-page portfolio of
Coolidge photos, editorial cartoons and campaign
memorabilia -- and much more. read more |

America's greatest leader was its first -- George Washington. He ran two "start-ups," the Continental Amy and the United States, and chaired the most important "committee meeting" in history, the Constitutional Convention. His agribusiness and real estate portfolio made him America's richest man. Men
followed him into battle; women longed to dance with him; famous men, almost as great as he was, some of them smarter or better spoken, did what he told
them to do. He was, writes Richard Brookhiser, "the Founding CEO." Now, in George Washington on Leadership, Brookhiser reveals the powerful
principles of character and leadership behind Washington's extraordinary success -- and shows how today's aspiring leaders can apply these principles with equal success today. read more |
