The story behind the podcast Crimetown, as told by the notorious Buddy Cianci himself. An election is a war and "to the victor belongs the spoils." That’s the real democratic process. After all, you'll never see a victorious politician tell his supporters, "I want to thank all of you who worked so hard for my election. However, in the interest of good government, I've decided to give all the jobs to those people who voted against me." This belief became Buddy Cianci’s mantra. Following his own rules, Cianci spent almost three decades as mayor of Providence, RI... before leaving for an enforced vacation in a federally funded gated community. Providence was a dying industrial city when he first took office, but he helped turn it into one of the most desirable places to live in America. He did it by playing the game of hardball politics as well as it has ever been played, living up to his favorite Sinatra lyric "I did it my way"—because that's the only way a mayor can run a city. If you want to know the truth about how politics is played, you picked the right book. This is the behind-the-locked-door story of how politics in America really works. Here is a man who has been called many things: "America's Most Innovative Mayor," a "colorful character," and a convicted felon. But no one has ever called him shy. Here, he serves it all up.

In David Fisher's The Executive Order, this one-step-ahead-of-the-headlines thriller, a reporter races to uncover a conspiracy when he learns that the post-Trump president elected to heal the nation has more sinister plans. In a post-Trump and Biden world, an independent senator, Ian Wrightman, is elected president to heal a nation frayed by extreme partisanship. After years of reporting chaos in the White House, digital journalist Rollie Stone and his colleagues embrace the normalcy. But after the country is rocked by a series of devastating terrorist attacks, the new administration springs into action and begins rolling out executive orders that claim to protect the American people—while slowly chipping away at their constitutional freedoms. Rollie Stone is a wounded warrior whose hi-tech Mighty Chair serves as his unique assistant in investigations. When he uncovers evidence that the terrorist attacks are being coordinated much closer to home, he knows he needs to get this information into safe hands—but the president has declared war, and through his new executive powers is rounding up journalists, dissenters, and anyone else who gets in his way. Forced on the run with the help of an underground resistance movement, Rollie finds himself in a race for his life to reveal the truth. But who can he trust? In this all-too-realistic thriller inspired by the Sinclair Lewis classic, It Can't Happen Here, one journalist will do whatever it takes to stop his country turning from democracy to dictatorship.

"Miaou..." supplia Bombard. Il traversa prestement la pièce pour venir me rejoindre et se frotter contre ma jambe d'une manière à la fois sensuelle et soumise. "Pas maintenant, répondis-je avec énergie. -Miaaaoouu", répéta-t-il. C'était un cri poignant qui montait des profondeurs de son estomac vide. Je le regardai et, en articulant avec soin, déclarai : "Une seconde, s'il te plaît." Je m'acharnai sur mon nœud de cravate pour lui signifier que seules les règles d'un comportement civilisé étaient acceptées. Baissant d'un ton, il gémit encore une fois : "Miaaaoouu..." Je m'arrêtai, les mains autour de mon cou, et d'un regard qui lui imposait le silence. Il attendit. "Tu ne comprends donc pas le français ? demandai-je. J'ai dit pas maintenant. -Et moi je dis maaaiinntenant ", me répondit Bombard. Et cet instant marqua à jamais l'écroulement de l'univers douillet que n'avais connu jusque-là... Mon chat parlait !

The Founders is the first full volume of biographies in David Fisher's series Presidential Chronicles - the series of books and videos on American history as seen through the lives of the Presidents of the United States. Author David Fisher provides robust yet concise biographies of every U.S. President in this unique multi-volume collection, revealing the essential elements of their lives in the contexts of their times. Fisher makes extensive use of first-person quotations to help convey the inner thoughts of his subjects, along with a broad collection of images to help bring these stories to life. Many of the images are pulled from his vast personal collection of first edition presidential biographies, with many dating from the era in which these men were charged to lead their nation. This first volume of Presidential Chronicles (The Founders) tells the life stories of the nation's first five Presidents who helped define the role of the nation's chief executive: George Washington John Adams Thomas Jefferson James Madison James Monroe Fisher captures the essence of the founding era through these lives that spanned the military, legislative, diplomatic, and ultimately executive roles that helped define the start of the American experiment. He provides a first-person perspective to the pre-revolutionary era, the colonial rebellion, the war for independence, the diplomatic efforts abroad, and the challenges of starting a new nation based on democratic principles - something unlike anything the world had ever seen before. He explores the inter-connected nature of the lives of these founding leaders - relationships and experiences that were essential to the dawn of the Republic, but also broke down over the different visions they brought to bear on how to shape the new nation they helped to birth. The Founders is part of Presidential Chronicles - Volumes, the print edition of the series in which each release includes five presidential biographies. The other released printed volumes include Volume II: Democracy Expands (with biographies of John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, and John Tyler) and Volume III: The Path to National Fracture (with biographies of James Polk, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan). Two additional volumes are planned for release in 2022. These biographies are also available as individual E-Books in the Presidential Chronicles - Individual series.
