Böcker av William G. Hyland

Martha Jefferson is the first and only biography of Thomas Jefferson's greatest love and true kindred spirit. Drawing on a wealth of newly probed sources, including family letters, documents, and the handwritten notes, William Hyland captures the charm, sophistication, grace and a profound sense of history of this little known and elusive figure.

In this overview of Clinton's foreign policy, the author shows the effects of combining the confusion of a busy overseas agenda with Clinton's personality characteristics. By his second term, he reversed himself on some major aspects of policy, to the benefit of the country and the world.

Hyland reveals both the man and his creations, revealing how Gershwin became the first composer to apply popular music to classical forms, how his work reflected the turmoil of America in the Jazz Age, and how, despite his fame, he never achieved the happiness and contentment a genius of his stature deserved.
