Paperback. Etat : Good. Chris Thompson thought his youthful dreams of being a secret agent had long ago been put to rest. He has a wife and child, a stable job with the US Customs Department, and aside from a minor incident involving outsourcing American apple pie production to Bangladesh no real worries. This all changes when Chris receives a phone call from the president of the United States, Oscar I. Wright, regarding a secret invasion of America from Canada and Mexico an invasion somehow tied to the Big Mac Party, a cultish political party that worships the legacy of the notorious Communist-hunting Senator Joseph McCarthy. Soon, Chris is equipped with firearms, designer suits, government helicopters, and an array of gadgets worthy of any top-notch spy. His mission: infiltrate the mysterious Emergence program founded by McCarthy within the shadowy halls of the US government and, ultimately, save democracy as we know it from the xenophobic demons of America s past. A unique, bubbling combination of Christopher Buckley-esque satire, political farce, and espionage comedy, Happy Utopia Day, Joe McCarthy reveals through encounters with a hilarious cast of hallucinating politicians, Border Patrol commandants, crew-cut torturers, stuttering computer wizards, supposedly immortal pilots, and more just how frightening a contemporary abuse of government power can be, and just how much we sometimes stand to lose when we decide to pursue our dreams.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. It appears E. B. Fletcher has done it again and created a nascent collection to rival Dr. Seuss. Not only is her work-Lincoln McCarthy, Attorney at Law-fun and whimsical, it is indeed educational with a strong moral lesson. I'm sure this series will delight parents and their children. As a professional educator, E. B. Fletcher helps readers grow and learn, as she provides a listing of new terms for early readers to stretch their imaginations and help expand their vocabularies (Charlie Finley, senior editor, Verbatim Editing, Richmond, Vancouver). This book teaches a lesson of integrity depicted in a way that every child will adore. It addresses situations with humor and suspense using animals that children love and can relate to. This book not only has a moral but it could also be used to teach prepositions. This is a great book for all to enjoy (Tina Becouvarakis, third-grade teacher, Hampton, Vancouver). Lincoln McCarthy, Attorney at Law is an amazing story for teaching personification through a great storyline and fun characters (Alicia Reeves, fourth-grade teacher and UVA graduate student). Agree with canine jurisprudence and your take on lawyers. Thought-provoking for big and little kids (Steve Moore, UVA law graduate and Hampton lawyer retired]). Legally funny (RonThomason, UVA law graduate and Norton lawyer retired]). Taylor, Debbie (illustrateur).…

Hardback. Etat : Fair. Originally a New Deal liberal and aggressive anticommunist, Senator Eugene McCarthy famously lost faith with the Democratic party over Vietnam. His stunning challenge to Lyndon Johnson in the 1968 New Hampshire primary inspired young liberals and was one of the greatest electoral upsets in American history. But the 1968 election ultimately brought Richard Nixon and the Republican Party to power, irrevocably shifting the country's political landscape to the right for decades to come. Dominic Sandbrook traces one of the most remarkable and significant lives in postwar politics, a career marked by both courage and arrogance. Sandbrook draws on extensive new research - including interviews with McCarthy himself - to show convincingly how Eugene McCarthy's political experience embodies the larger decline of American liberalism after World War I. These were tumultuous times in American politics, and Sandbrook vividly captures the drama and historical significance through his intimate portrait of a singularly interesting man at the heart of it all.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. The #1 Irish BestsellerDespite the many exotic places Pete McCarthy has visited, he finds that nowhere else can match the particular magic of Ireland, his mother's homeland. In McCarthy's Bar, his journey begins in Cork and continues along the west coast to Donegal in the north. Traveling through spectacular landscapes, but at all times obeying the rule, never pass a bar that has your name on it, he encounters McCarthy's bars up and down the land, meeting fascinating people before pleading to be let out at four o'clock in the morning. Written by someone who is at once an insider and an outside, McCarthy's Bar is a wonderfully funny and affectionate portrait of a rapidly changing country.Praise for Pete McCarthy and McCarthy's Bar [McCarthy] is a worthy addition to the ranks of P.J. O'Rourke, Bill Bryson and Peter Mayle.He narrates a series of hilarious and surprising adventures with an acerbic eye and a comedian's gift for timing.This wonderful debut will appeal to readers who are looking for a well-observed travel guide, or simply for its incisive hilarity. - Publishers Weekly[McCarthy's] chronicle of what he heard in these neighborhood gathering places/social clubs/confessionals was quintessentially Irish, which means hilarious, sentimental, surprising and revealing. - The Dallas Morning NewsMcCarthy makes an amiable traveling companion - witty, affable, with an endearing knack for meeting, or attracting, the most eccentric characters.With self-deprecating wit and a sly sense of the absurd, he makes even the most mundane experience entertaining. - BooklistUnfailingly sharp, good-humored, and offbeat: sure to please Celtophiles of every greenish hue. - Kirkus ReviewsFans of Bill Bryson will enjoy reading McCarthy's droll narrative of his rediscovery of his family's roots in Ireland. - Library JournalMcCarthy's Bar is as far removed from the staid, traditional travel guide as one likely could get and still learn where to go, what to see, how much it might cost and what to expect. - San Antonio Express News.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Senator Joseph McCarthy is remembered as a self-serving and hypocritical man who recklessly destroyed people's lives through anticommunist witch hunting. This re-evaluation shows that the more that is learnt about communism in America, the more McCarthy is proven to be accurate in his charges.…
