Abstract

Voici le témoignage extraordinaire du 43e président des Etats-Unis. Rompant avec les conventions de l'autobiographie politique, George W Bush se propose, avec une franchise remarquable, de revenir sur les décisions les plus importantes de sa vie. A travers des épisodes captivants et encore jamais dévoilés, le président Bush emmène les lecteurs dans la propriété du gouverneur du Texas, la nuit des élections vivement contestées de 2000 ; il les convie à bord d'Air Force One, le jour du 11 Septembre, juste après l'attaque la plus foudroyante subie par les Etats-Unis depuis Pearl Harbor ; il les invite à la tête du Conseil de sécurité nationale, dans la Situation Room, quelques instants avant le lancement de la guerre en Irak ; et enfin, il les fait asseoir derrière le Bureau Ovale lors de toutes les décisions controversées qu'il a prises concernant la crise financière, l'ouragan Katrina, l'Afghanistan, l'Iran, et toutes les autres questions qui ont déterminé la première décennie du XXIe siècle. Le président Bush nous parle avec honnêteté et franchise de ses défauts et de ses erreurs, aussi bien que de ses succès : sa réforme de l'enseignement, sa campagne de traitement du virus du sida en Afrique. Il nous dévoile également des détails intimes inédits sur sa décision d'arrêter l'alcool, sur sa découverte de la foi et sur ses relations familiales.

Abstract

For the past 50 years a select group of scientists has provided advice to the US President, mostly out of the public eye, on issues ranging from the deployment of weapons to the launching of rockets to the moon to the use of stem cells to cure disease. The role of the presidential science adviser came under increasing scrutiny during the administration of George W. Bush, which was highly criticized by many for its use (and some say, misuse) of science. This edited volume includes, for the first time, the reflections of the presidential science advisers from Donald Hornig who served under Lyndon B. Johnson, to John Marburger, the previous science advisor, on their roles within both government and the scientific community. It provides an intimate glimpse into the inner workings of the White House, as well as the political realities of providing advice on scientific matters to the presidential of the United States. The reflections of the advisers are supplemented with critical analysis of the role of the science adviser by several well-recognized science policy practitioners and experts. This volume will be of interest to science policy and presidential history scholars and students.

Abstract

Barack Obama, in his acclaimed campaign speech discussing the troubling complexities of race in America today, "ed William Faulkner's famous remark "The past isn't dead and buried. In fact, it isn't even past." In Not Even Past, award-winning historian Thomas Sugrue examines the paradox of race in Obama's America and how President Obama intends to deal with it. Obama's journey to the White House undoubtedly marks a watershed in the history of race in America. Yet even in what is being hailed as the post-civil rights era, racial divisions--particularly between blacks and whites--remain deeply entrenched in American life. Sugrue traces Obama's evolving understanding of race and racial inequality throughout his career, from his early days as a community organizer in Chicago, to his time as an attorney and scholar, to his spectacular rise to power as a charismatic and savvy politician, to his dramatic presidential campaign. Sugrue looks at Obama's place in the contested history of the civil rights struggle; his views about the root causes of black poverty in America; and the incredible challenges confronting his historic presidency. Does Obama's presidency signal the end of race in American life? In Not Even Past, a leading historian of civil rights, race, and urban America offers a revealing and unflinchingly honest assessment of the culture and politics of race in the age of Obama, and of our prospects for a postracial America.

Abstract

This study investigates how. for the first time the new medium of radio impacted upon a presidential campaign. Prior to 1924 candidates were known to the public by their photographs and by the printed versions of their major speeches published in the press. Beginning in 1924, however, party standard-bearers were recognized by their voices.
