The Age of Anxiety: McCarthyism to Terrorism
Orlando, FL Harcourt, Inc.; A James H. Silberman Book 2005 0151010625 / 9780151010622 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
xii, 609 pp., illus., biblio., index; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated "First edition." Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. A fine copy of the first printing. "For five long years in the 1950s, Senator Joseph McCarthy and his anti-Communist crusade dominated the American scene, terrified politicians, and destroyed the lives of thousands of our citizens. In this masterful history, Haynes Johnson re-creates that time of crisis-of President Eisenhower, who hated McCarthy but would not attack him; of the Republican senators who cynically used McCarthy to win their own elections; of Edward R. Murrow, whose courageous TV broadcast began McCarthy's downfall; and of mild-mannered lawyer Joseph Welch, who finally shamed McCarthy into silence. Johnson tells this monumental story through the lens of its relevance to our own time, when fear again affects American behavior and attitudes, for he believes now, as then, that our civil liberties, our Constitution, and our nation are at stake as we confront the ever more difficult task of balancing the need for national security with that of personal liberty. Compelling narrative history, insightful political commentary, and intimate personal remembrance combine to make The Age of Anxiety a vitally important book for our time. / HAYNES JOHNSON, a Pulitzer Prize- winning journalist, is the author of five national bestsellers, including his last, The Best of Times, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. He has been a reporter, editor, and columnist for the Washington Post and a commentator for the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer and the Today show. He lives in Washington, D.C." - Publisher.

The Best of Times: America in the Clinton Years
New York Harcourt, Inc.; A James H. Silberman Book 2001 0151004455 / 9780151004454 Hard Cover Fine Fine
x, 610 pp., biblio., index; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/air, except by special arrangement. "The Best of Times--the '90s were indeed the best of times. Unprecedented wealth and the breathtaking progress of science and technology ushered in the Internet and the deciphering of the genome. Promises abounded, but a deepening sense of unease hovered over America as the worst of times seemed to be upon us as well-gossip, scandal, and a frenzied media like nothing ever seen before. Based on exclusive interviews with the decade's most influential players, here is a fascinating re-creation of the best and worst episodes of the decade. With sweeping force and cultural acumen, Johnson revives the '90s, the ups and downs, filled with all that we may have forgotten and, most importantly, all that we never knew. In four fascinating parts, Johnson delivers the stories behind the stories-revealing the personalities behind the media party of the '90s, the partisanship that didn't succeed in bringing down the president, the pervasive technology that stretched from Silicon Valley to Monsanto with the corresponding hopes and fears, and the equally extreme reactions on Wall Street to every last bit of it. A tremendous work from a major authority and writer, The Best of Times covers the entire wonderful yet woeful decade, gavel to gavel. / Haynes Johnson is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of the bestsellers Sleepwalking Through History and The Bay of Pigs. He is a regular television commentator on NewsHour with Jim Lehrer and lives in Washington, D.C." - Publisher.
