Jim Farley’s Story
Frank, outspoken and revealing, here is the truth about two of the most controversial political figures in modern America: Franklin D. Roosevelt and Jim Farley. These are the unvarnished facts concerning the man who put Roosevelt into the White House and built up one of the most brilliantly efficient party organizations that America has ever known. Mr. Farley writes of Roosevelt the politician—a human being with human failings—and not a demigod. The full story revealed here for the first time gives a new and surprising picture of the late President, his elaborate political maneuverings, the reasons for the final break with Jim Farley. JIM FARLEY’S STORY is the hard-punching inside account of one man’s meteoric rise to the political genius of the Democratic Party... “Politically, I owe more to Jim Farley than to any other person alive, not excluding my wife!”—Franklin D. Roosevelt

Making Arms in the Machine Age
Making Arms in the Machine Age traces the growth and development of the United States Arsenal at Frankford, Pennsylvania, from its origin in 1816 to 1870. During this period, the arsenal evolved from a small post where skilled workers hand-produced small arms ammunition to a full-scale industrial complex employing a large civilian workforce. James Farley uses the history of the arsenal to examine larger issues including the changing technology of early nineteenth-century warfare, the impact of new technology on the United States Army, and the reactions of workers and their families and communities to the coming of industrialization. Shortly after the War of 1812, the U. S. Army founded sever...
Mr. Democrat
Mr. Democrat tells the story of Jim Farley, Franklin D. Roosevelt's campaign manager. As party boss, Farley experienced unprecedented success in the New Deal years. And like his modern counterpart Karl Rove, Farley enjoyed unparalleled access and power. Unlike Rove, however, Farley was instrumental in the creation of an overwhelming new majority in American politics, as the emergence of the New Deal transformed the political landscape of its time. Mr. Democrat is timely and indispensable not just because Farley was a fascinating and unduly neglected figure, but also because an understanding of his career advances our knowledge of how and why he revolutionized the Democratic Party and American politics in the age of the New Deal.

This Dog Barking
'A journey to the end of thought. An empty box within an empty box. There is no truth. The robot is dreaming.' This Dog Barking chronicles the story of U.G. Krishnamurti, the Cosmic Naxalite, from his troubled childhood to his disillusionment with many of the leading spiritual teachers of the twentieth century and his catastrophic personal life. In 1967, UG underwent a series of biological mutations that left him in the 'natural state' - functioning without the interference of thought. With no fixed address, no followers and no organization, UG spent the next thirty years travelling the world with an uncompromising message: that 'mind is a myth' and the human condition should be demystified and de-psychologized and viewed in purely physiological terms.Candid and clear-eyed, this is a profoundly thought-provoking biography of one of the most radical philosophers of our age.
Farley
Exuberant, mercurial, melancholic, gregarious and generous—Farley Mowat, one of our most beloved writers, is brought to life in this remarkable biography Bestselling author James King has created a masterful and intimate portrait of this many-layered man: his failed relationships, his wanderlust, his compassion for the underdog, his lasting marriage to his second wife, Claire. At the heart of this story is Farley’s intense love-hate relationship with his father, a framework, as King points out, for the writer’s successes—and failures. Granted unprecedented access to Farley’s large circle of family, friends, colleagues—and even a few enemies—King has succeeded in creating a literary biography that entertains, illuminates and captures perfectly the elusive spirit of Canada’s most successful writer.
