Hoover's FBI

Turner examines the Bureau's most famous cases, discloses the parallels in the growth of the FBI and of organized crime, and shows the extraordinary power Hoover wielded over eigh
Turner
William Turner (1775-1851) was simultaneously a romantic and a realist--and yet he transcended both styles. This book opens up Turner's paintings, demonstrating that he was not simply illustrating nature, but that his pictures speak directly to the eye as nature does itself.
The Fish is Red
From back cover of dust jacket: "From the Bay of Pigs to Watergate, [The Fish is Red] uncovers the dirty secrets of the 1960s and 1970s."
The Harlan Renaissance
A personal remembrance from the preeminent chronicler of Black life in Appalachia.
Mission Not Accomplished
After 9/11, President Bush reassured Americans and the world that he would lead the fight against terror aggressively and unremittingly until Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida were crushed. Since then his actions have fallen short, and he has apparently lost sight of the mission. In his new book, former FBI counterintelligence specialist and CNN analyst William Turner portrays the White House as an administration of broken promises, insufficient planning, failed diplomacy, misplaced priorities and suspect motives, and hammers Bush for selling the invasion of Iraq as part of the War on Terror, when in fact Iraq had no WMD and posed no threat.
Turner
The man behind the paintings: the extraordinary life of J. M. W Turner, one of Britain's most admired, misunderstood and celebrated artists J. M. W. Turner is Britain's most famous landscape painter. Yet beyond his artistic achievements, little is known of the man himself and the events of his life: the tragic committal of his mother to a lunatic asylum, the personal sacrifices he made to effect his stratospheric rise, and the bizarre double life he chose to lead in the last years of his life. A near mythical figure in his own lifetime, Franny Moyle tells the story of the man who was considered visionary at best and ludicrous at worst. A resolute adventurer, he found new ways of revealing Britain to the British, astounding his audience with his invention and intelligence. Set against the backdrop of the finest homes in Britain, the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution, this is an astonishing portrait of one of the most important figures in Western art and a vivid evocation of Britain and Europe in flux.
