Hardback. Condition: Good. "Michael Korda has delivered a jewel of a short life of Ulysses S. Grant, a general deadly on the battlefield and unprepossessing off it. As a biographer Korda is Grant-like himself: unambiguous, decisive, clear. The book is a joy to read."  --Larry McMurtry, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lonesome Dove The first officer since George Washington to become a four-star general in the United States Army, Ulysses S. Grant was a man who managed to end the Civil War on a note of grace, and was the only president between Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson to serve eight consecutive years in the White House. The son of an Ohio tanner, he has long been remembered as a brilliant general but a failed president whose second term ended in financial and political scandal. But now acclaimed, bestselling author Michael Korda offers a dramatic reconsideration of the man, his life, and his presidency. Ulysses S.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. The Hungarian Revolution of 1956 marked a turning point in the history of the Soviet Union. For the first time, the West was able to see the level of dissent that existed in Communist Bloc nations, and the cruel tyranny with which opposition movements were suppressed. Although the Soviets were eventually able to stop the revolution, this was the first step towards their ultimate failure. Author Michael Korda witnessed these events firsthand. Along with several fellow Oxford undergraduates, Korda brought much-needed medical supplies to Hungary during the Revolution, and stayed to witness and participate in the uprising. He returns to those days in Journey to a Revolution, where he tells not only his own story, but also the story of a country fighting back after years of cruel mistreatment.Michael Korda is the New York Times bestselling author of Horse People, Country Matters, Ulysses S. Grant, and Cat People. He lives with his wife Margaret in Dutchess Country, New York."Fascinating, vivid, and, of course, wonderfully written." -- Henry Kissinger. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. "[A] beguiling biography. . . . Korda is at his best describing, after the heroics in the desert, the touching antiheroics of Lawrence's later life." -- New York Times Book Review A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year and a New York Times Editor's Choice--the definitive biography of the legendary British soldier, scholar and adventurer who became a myth even in his lifetime, T. E. Lawrence, "Lawrence of Arabia."

Military Strategist: Discover the military genius who mastered guerrilla warfare and insurgency, leading a successful campaign against the vast Ottoman Empire with a handful of followers. The Man Behind the Myth: Based on previously secret documents, Korda reveals the complex, driven man behind the legend, from his heroics in the desert to the touching antiheroics of his later life. Creator of Nations: Explore Lawrence's crucial role as a diplomat at the Paris Peace Conference and his influence on the formation of the modern Middle East.
