"Chronicles the motley crew who have driven the Howard Government to the brink of annihilation. Relive the Reith phone-card affair, remember Howard's manipulation of the Republic referendum, resubmerge yourself in Bronwyn Bishop's kerosene bath, and thank Gough that an election is just around the corner! Ship of Tools is a celebration of the first 100 issues of Workers Online - one of Australia's most popular online political magazines"--cover.

Acclaimed historian Paul Johnson shows how Churchill's immense adaptability combined with his natural pugnacity to make him a formidable leader for the better part of a century. Rich with anecdote and quotation, Johnson's narrative illustrates the British statesman's humor, resilience, courage, and eccentricity as no other biography before.
Miron Rezun
"Based on the widest possible range of sources, including documentation in nearly every European language, this study will appeal to experts and laymen alike. Rezun refuses to take sides. In addition to his criticisms of foreign intervention, exaggerated statistics, and reverse ethnic cleansing, he is merciless in his condemnation of the Serbs, in particular the corrupt influence of Milosevic and the late Arkan. In a writing style laced with irony, wit, and satire, he reveals the foibles of limited war and the errors committed by all parties. Yet his primary focus remains the suffering of the men, women, and children who filled the refugee camps and the devastated villages to which they have returned."--BOOK JACKET.

America's 39 presidents have not all been great men, but they have all had great--sometimes greatly amusing and sometimes greatly surprising--things to say on myriad subjects. From Washington to Reagon, American presidents have sounded off with wit, eloquence, humor, solemnity, spitefulness and brilliance on everything from foreign policy to the personalities of their fellow presidents. The Bully Pulpit collects the cream of these presidential quotes and offers nearly 3,000 of them in a single, splendid volume.
