In this first interpretative comprehensive history of Barack Obama's presidency in its entirety, Claude A. Clegg III situates the former president in his dynamic, inspirational, yet contentious political context. He captures the America that made Obama's White House years possible, while insightfully rendering the America that resolutely resisted the idea of a Black chief executive, thus making conceivable the ascent of the most unlikely of his successors.

Zum einen galt Angela Merkel als Bewahrerin von Freiheit, Demokratie und Menschenrechten. Zum anderen als visionslose Machtpolitikerin. 16 Jahre lang lenkte sie die Geschicke Deutschlands - und Europas. Ausgerechnet eine Frau, die vom Leben in einer sozialistischen Parteidiktatur geprägt war, sollte die westliche Welt durch schwere Krisen führen: ob Flüchtlings- oder Finanzkrise, Trumps Präsidentschaft oder zuletzt die Corona-Pandemie.

Their Irish ancestry was a hallmark of the Kennedys’ initial political profile, as JFK leveraged his working-class roots to connect with blue-collar voters. Today, we remember this iconic American family as the vanguard of wealth, power, and style rather than as the descendants of poor immigrants. Here at last, we meet the first American Kennedys, Patrick and Bridget, who arrived as many thousands of others did following the Great Famine—penniless and hungry. Less than a decade after their marriage in Boston, Patrick’s sudden death left Bridget to raise their children single-handedly.

Nearly sixty years after his death, JFK still holds an outsize place in the American imagination. While Baby Boomers remember his dazzling presence as president, millennials more likely know him from advertisements for Omega watches or Ray Ban sunglasses. Yet his years in office were marked by more than his style and elegance. His presidency is a story of a fledgling leader forced to meet unprecedented challenges, and to rise above missteps to lead his nation into a new and hopeful era.

Das mächtigste Amt der deutschen Politik hat noch niemand freiwillig aufgegeben - außer Angela Merkel. Dabei hat sie sich gerade am Ende ihrer Amtszeit wieder als Krisenmanagerin bewährt und hohe Zustimmungswerte erhalten. Denn so schätzen sie die Deutschen: Angela Merkel ist so pragmatisch, wie Helmut Schmidt es gerne gewesen wäre. Ideologien, Weltanschauungen, Grundsatzfragen interessieren sie wenig. Unaufgeregt schlachtete sie mehrere heilige Kühe der Christdemokraten, etwa die Wehrpflicht oder die Kernkraft. Kritiker warfen ihr deshalb vor, ihr einziges Programm sei es, Kanzlerin zu sein.

When I was in school, history was one of my favorite subjects; I always got "A"s in history. However, I did not consider myself to be a “history buff”. I never read history books other than what was required for school. That changed in 1988. I remember watching a TV special called "The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald”.
