New Releases by Newt Gingrich

New York Times bestselling authors Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen return with the second novel in their World War II Pacific Theater series. Gingrich and Forstchen''s now critically acclaimed approach, which they term "active history," examines how a change in but one decision might have profoundly altered American history. In Pearl Harbor they explored how history might have been changed if Admiral Yamamoto had directly led the attack on that fateful day, instead of remaining in Japan. Building on that promise, Days of Infamy starts minutes after the close of Pearl Harbor, as both sides react to the monumental events triggered by the presence of Admiral Yamamoto. In direct command of the six carriers of the attacking fleet, Yamamoto decides to launch a fateful "third-wave attack" on the island of Oahu, and then keeps his fleet in the area to hunt down the surviving American aircraft carriers, which by luck and fate were not anchored in the harbor on that day. Historians have often speculated about what might have transpired from legendary "matchups" of great generals and admirals. In this story of the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, the notorious gambler Yamamoto is pitted against the equally legendary American admiral Bill Halsey in a battle of wits, nerve, and skill. Days of Infamy recounts this alternative history from a multitude of viewpoints---from President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, and the two great admirals, on down to American pilots flying antiquated aircraft, bravely facing the vastly superior Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft. Gingrich and Forstchen have written a sequel that''s as much a homage to the survivors of the real Pearl Harbor attack as it is an imaginative and thrilling take on America''s entry into World War II.

The action-packed first book in the new historical series by acclaimed authors Newt Gingrich and William R.Forstchen

Un paseo simple por Washington, D.C. fue el inicio de un recorrido profundo de descubrimiento personal y de renovación para Newt Gingrich, uno de los políticos y comentadores más influyentes de Estados Unidos. Un día mientras leía los archivos nacionales, las palabras inmortales de la Declaración de Independencia: "Nuestro Creador nos ha dotado de ciertos derechos inalienables", saltaron de la página y penetraron en su corazón presentándole la clara verdad de que desde el inicio de la historia de ese país, el autor de la libertad no era el estado o los Padres de la patria. Nuestros derechos y libertades básicas humanas eran y todavía son "dadas por el Creador". Gingrich suena la alarma para que reconozcamos que la vida, la libertad y la búsqueda de la felicidad que valoramos tanto son conceptos inseparables de un sincero y humilde reconocimiento de que estos regalos son sólo dados por el Creador. El libro también incluye como material extra un "recorrido a pie" de Washington, D.C.

"As the leader of the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, I have been privileged to play a role in many legislative and political struggles. This new book is a summation of these lessons, many learned in public, some - perhaps the most difficult - learned behind closed doors." "To be useful, this kind of report must be candid. And, indeed, in it I recount some of the most challenging, even painful, moments of my career, including the controversial effort that led to the resignation of Speaker Jim Wright, my difficult encounter with the House Ethics Committee, public blunders such as my comments about Air Force One, and my personal reaction to the so-called coup efforts within the House Republican majority." "In writing about these and other topics, it is my intention to clear the air, to update Americans on the truth behind the headlines, and to give readers a much fuller understanding of who I am as a person and what I stand for."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
