Wesley K. Clark: A Biography

Antonia Felix

The first biography on General Wesley K. Clark, Democratic presidential candidate and former NATO Commander, covering his prestigious military career and the personal history that shaped his character—from the author of Condi: The Condoleezza Rice Story.
Four-star Gen. Wesley K. Clark (Ret.) made headline news upon announcing his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination, and instantly became one of the frontrunners in the heated race. Now, biographer Antonia Felix paints a fascinating portrait of the man behind the medals.
Clark entered the world stage in 1997 as NATO's Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, leading Operation Allied Force, which successfully ended the conflict in Kosovo. He set his course for achievement at West Point, graduating at the top of his class, and went on to receive a Master's Degree at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. Clark did two tours of duty in Vietnam, leading an infantry division and earning the Silver Star and Purple Heart for wounds received in combat.
In this comprehensive biography, drawn from dozens of interviews and independent research, readers will discover a personal story that is as compelling as Clark's highly decorated military career. Son of a Jewish father and Southern Baptist mother, Clark later converted to his wife's Catholic faith while fighting in Vietnam. The Wesley Clark Story covers Clark's life from his early days in Little Rock, Arkansas, and his time at Oxford (he is widely regarded as a savvy intellectual who speaks four languages), to his distinguished military career and recent role as CNN military analyst on the war in Iraq.
A general against the war in Iraq, Clark has been considered by some too political for the military and too military for the political arena. To others, his is the perfect combination for American leadership at this moment in history. 16 b/w photos.

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Antonia Felix; Charles M. Schulz; Bill Melendez; Lee Mendelson

Since its top-rated debut on CBS in December 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas has been one of America's most beloved television shows. Year after year, fans of all ages tune in to the Emmy-winning Christmas special that has earned a permanent place in the nation's popular culture.

This collector's treasury contains the entire script of A Charlie Brown Christmas, illustrated with full-color stills from the animated film. Producer Lee Mendelson and animator Bill Melendez pay tribute to the program with personal memories and reflections about the show, including charming anecdotes about their long friendship and working career with Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. Offering rare, behind-the-scenes insights, they also share memories of the late, great jazz pianist/composer Vince Guaraldi and provide never-before-published background sketches, storyboards, production sheets, and other materials that bring the making of the show to life.

A Charlie Brown Christmas: The Making of a Tradition also brings the sound of the show home with the piano/vocal musical scores for Guaraldi's "Christmas Time Is Here" and "Linus and Lucy," two songs that have become standards of American popular music.

As the very first Peanuts special, A Charlie Brown Christmas brought Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Snoopy, and the rest of the gang to television. In addition to breaking the mold by using jazz music (which exposed millions of people to jazz for the first time and inspired a generation of jazz pianists), A Charlie Brown Christmas broke new ground by using real children for the voices instead of adult actors. Schulz, Mendelson, and Melendez created these and other innovations that made A Charlie Brown Christmas a unique and timeless work of animation art.

A Charlie Brown Christmas: The Making of a Tradition celebrates this award-winning and history-making show with warmhearted memories, fascinating trivia, and colorful animation art that will delight fans of all ages.
