Includes List of Other Books by Scott Eyman; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quotes by Charlie Chaplin from… an abandoned preface to Chaplin's My Autobiography; Prologue; Acknowledgments; Source Notes; Bibliography and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "The dramatic story of how Charlie Chaplin - perhaps the most important figure in Hollywood history - suddenly became a pariah in his adopted country and went into a twenty-year exile abroad, a story as relevant today as when it happened. In the aftermath of World War II, Chaplin was criticized for being politically liberal and internationalist in outlook. He had never become a U.S. citizen since emigrating from England, something that would be held against him as xenophobia set in during the postwar Red Scare. Politics aside, Chaplin had another problem: He had been married four times, always to young women, and had had numerous affairs. In the 1940s, he was the subject of a paternity suit, which he lost despite blood tests that proved he was not the father. His sexuality became a convenient way for those who hated his politics to condemn him. Refused permission to return to the U.S. from a trip abroad, he settled in Switzerland and made his last two films in London. In Charlie Chaplin vs. America, bestselling biographer and film historian Scott Eyman tells the surprising, disturbing story of the decades when the movie genius who brought us such masterpieces as City Lights and Modern Times became too controversial for his adopted homeland. This is a perceptive, insightful portrait of Chaplin and of an America, not unlike today, consumed by political turmoil." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First edition. First printing [stated]. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. xiv, 226 p. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Signed by author. DJ flap creased. Inscription signed by Mann. Some page warping noted. Thomas E. Mann (born September 10, 1944) is the W. Averell Harriman Cha…ir and a senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, a non-partisan think tank based in Washington, D.C. He primarily studies and speaks on elections in the United States, campaign finance reform, Senate and filibuster reform, Congress, redistricting, and political polarization. Norman Jay Ornstein (born October 14, 1948) is an American political scientist and an emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a Washington, D.C., conservative think tank. He is the co-author (along with Thomas E. Mann) of It's Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism. Foreign Policy named Ornstein, along with Thomas E. Mann, one of its 2012 Top 100 Global Thinkers "for diagnosing America's political dysfunction". Acrimony and hyperpartisanship have seeped into every part of the political process. Congress is deadlocked and its approval ratings are at record lows. America's two main political parties have given up their traditions of compromise, endangering our very system of constitutional democracy. And one of these parties has taken on the role of insurgent outlier; the Republicans have become ideologically extreme, scornful of compromise, and ardently opposed to the established social and economic policy regime. In It's Even Worse Than It Looks, congressional scholars Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein identify two overriding problems that have led Congressand the United Statesto the brink of institutional collapse. The first is the serious mismatch between our political parties, which have become as vehemently adversarial as parliamentary parties, and a governing system that, unlike a parliamentary democracy, makes it extremely difficult for majorities to act. Second, while both parties participate in tribal warfare, both sides are not equally culpable. The political system faces what the authors call "asymmetric polarization," with the Republican Party implacably refusing to allow anything that might help the Democrats politically, no matter the cost. With dysfunction rooted in long-term political trends, a coarsened political culture and a new partisan media, the authors conclude that there is no "silver bullet" reform that can solve everything. But they offer a panoply of useful ideas and reforms, endorsing some solutions, like greater public participation and institutional restructuring of the House and Senate, while debunking others, like independent or third-party candidates. Above all, they call on the media as well as the public at large to focus on the true causes of dysfunction rather than just throwing the bums out every election cycle. Until voters learn to act strategically to reward problem solving and punish obstruction, American democracy will remain in serious danger. Derived from a Kirkus review: Two scholars examine how today's hyperpartisanship has crippled our government. In a country famous for its rough-and-tumble politics, are things really worse than they've ever been? Yes, wrote Brookings Institution senior fellow Mann and American Enterprise Institute resident scholar Ornstein. To explain the dynamics of the institutional dysfunction plaguing Congress, they begin with a chronicle of the 2011 fight over the debt limit. They trace the governmental breakdown to two sources: 1) the mismatch between our separation-of-powers government and an increasingly parliamentary-style of party politics that features rigid ideologies, a prioritizing of political strategies over national welfare, and an unwillingness to compromise; and 2) the asymmetric nature of the polarizationi.e., a wildly out-of-the-mainstream Republican Party. The authors offer their own proposals for fixing the parties and reforming our governmental institutions, most very loftyfew likely to be adopted. They reject the notion that we're merely passing through an unfortunate phase and insist that we're at an unprecedented impasse. They go on to criticize the mainstream media for its false sense of equivalence. The authors, who've collaborated before, style themselves as straight shooters, nonpartisan analysts who've worked for decades in Washington with members of both parties.

Illustrated with 28 full-page b&w drawings by Barry Dickins (basically one drawing f…or each section). Wraparound colour cover illustration by Barry Dickins. "Miniatures is a series of biographical sketches that give the reader a brief glimpse into the characters and lives of people with whom the writer has 'collided' over the course of his life: teachers, drinking mates, fellow writers, neighbours, friends, celebrities, survivors of concentration camps - the living and the now-dead - miniature biographical sketches." From rear cover: "I have always loved people, and really they are the subject in this collection of souls. My long and short life has been shared with ghastly and frightening and witty others. Many have come unbidden, floating like splendid phantoms out of the chasm and drain, desk and chair, public transport, Heaven and Hell. Executioners on cheap flights to Israel. Raconteurs who've doubled as hit men. Fast ladies who have loved me and loathed me. Church ministers who've longed to become pedophiles, and tennis coaches who wished they weren't. I have chuckled with Johnny Cash. They're all here, ready to spring. You'll meet them in this book: the more-than-believable, the bizarre. As Fats Waller once wrote: 'You meet the nicest people in your dreams'." Published by Flat Chat Press, Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE (NMIT). Printed in Australia.
