The
bridge : the life and rise of Barack Obama
Remnick, David.
New York : Alfred A. Knopf, 2010.
Through extensive on-the-record interviews with friends and teachers, mentors
and disparagers, family members and Obama himself, David Remnick demonstrates
how a rootless, unaccomplished, and confused young man created himself first as
a community organizer in Chicago, then as a Harvard Law School graduate, and
finally as President of the United States. "By looking at Obama's political
rise through the prism of our racial history, Remnick gives us the conflicting
agendas of black politicians: the dilemmas of ... heroes of the civil rights
movement who are forced to reassess old loyalties and understand the priorties
of a new generation of African-American leaders. The Bridge revisits the
American drama of race, from slavery to civil rights, and makes clear how
Obama's quest is not just his own but is emblematic of a nation where destiny is
defined by individuals keen to imagine a future that is different from the
reality of their current lives." -- from publisher description.

The
dead hand : the untold story of the Cold War arms race and its dangerous legacy
Hoffman, David E. (David Emanuel).
New York : Doubleday, 2009.
During the Cold War, superpowers amassed nuclear arsenals containing the
explosive power of one million Hiroshimas. The Soviet Union secretly plotted to
create the "Dead Hand," a system designed to launch an automatic
retaliatory nuclear strike on the United States, and developed a fearsome
biological warfare machine. President Ronald Reagan, hoping to awe the Soviets
into submission, pushed hard for the creation of space-based missile defenses.
This, the first full account of how the arms race finally ended, provides an
unprecedented look at the inner motives and secret decisions of each side.
Drawing on top-secret documents from deep inside the Kremlin, memoirs, and
interviews in both Russia and the United States, David Hoffman introduces the
scientists, soldiers, diplomats, and spies who saw the world sliding toward
disaster and tells the gripping story of how Reagan, Gorbachev, and many others
struggled to bring the madness to an end.--From publisher description.

create the type of community that will allow us to weather trouble on an
unprecedented scale.
