ILBJ" by Ruth Montgomery In this first, informal biography, an internationally syndicated newspaper columnist who has known the Johnson family for twenty years gives readers an intimate glimpse into the heart and household of our new President's wife. Coming from a wealthy plantation background, Mrs. Lyndon Baines Johnson possesses the delicate beauty of a southern belle, but behind her soft drawl lies the steel-trap mind that has made her a fantastically successful business executive. Born Claudia Alta Taylor on an East Texas plantation, she was left motherless at the age of 5 and grew to womanhood in the semi-feudal society of the old South. From a shy girl who became a bride after a whirlwind six? week courtship, she has developed into the best feminine campaigner in the Democratic stable. With almost incredible stamina and efficiency, Lady Bird Johnson has not only reared two teen-age daughters, and traveled throughout the world at her husband's side, but has simultaneously managed her own TV-radio station, a mansion in Washington, ,£n apartment in Austin, and the LBJ Texas ranch which has become "a little United Nations'" for world leaders of five continents. What makes her tick? What lies behind the smooth facade of this remarable woman? In this unusually candid portrait, Ruth Montgomery gives a delightful account of the President's first meeting with his future wife, speaks openly of the family joys and sorrows they have shared, and divulges the child-rearing attitudes of a woman who never leaves her daughters without saying, "Remember, you are loved." In addition, the author records Mrs. Johnson's vital role during her husband's many political campaigns, tells how she helped him through the trying period after his heart attack, and offers a close-up view of the tragic events surrounding President Johnson's assumption of office. A fascinating pu:tare of a warm, effervescent lady, this sensitive biography also reveals our new President through the gentle, wise, and loving perceptions of the one who knows him best. "A DAY IN THE LIFE OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY" by Jim Bishop This last intimate portrait of President Kennedy and his family is a warm and dynamic account. It is also a historic document, written only a week before the Presidents death, which sheds new light on John Fitzgerald Kennedy as a human being and,as a world leader. As only Jim Bishop could write it. this is an hour-by-hour record of a typical day in the White House. It is, as well, a revealing and enlightning look at John F. Kennedy in his many loles; Chief executive, internaf tional statesman, politician, intellectual, and, of course, husband and father. "A Day in the Life of President Kennedy" tells how each hour Of a particular day was spent by the President, Mrs. Kennedy, the children, and the office and domestic White House staff. The day begins at 7 a.m., shortly before the President arises, and ends with his retirement at midnight. This unique book follows him from high level meetings to a late afternoon s\vim with Caroline and John-John; from a press conference to a visit with his eye doctor; from a session on world events with his close advisors to a quiet dinner with his wife. "To my termal sorrow," writes Jim Bishop, "I was the last writer to work with President Kennedy on an exclusive story. Therefore, I asked to have It published as it was written, without anything added or changed, when the world was bright for him and the future held the warm promise of goodness and victory. » "What you will read in this book is a portrait of the Kennedy family as it looked then --with no premonition that, for him, time had run out." "LVNDON JOHNSON: A BIOGRAPHY" by Harry Provence Lyndon Johnson is the best prepared president in the history of this nation, says Harry Provence, echoing the widespread reaction to his dramatic appointment. The reasons for this belief in Lyndon Johnson's unique qualities for the presidency form the nucleus of this biography, Harry Procence,Texas newspaper editor, has personally known Lyndon Johnson since he was first elected to Congress. From the vantage point of close association and longtime analytical observation, he has succeeded in creaating a fluid picture of Johnson, the man as well as the politician. The book highlights all the important phases of Lyndon Johnson's climb up the political staircase. It follows him from beginnings in Washington through his Senate career, colorfully describing his Texas campaigns. It reminisces about Lyndon Johnson's early struggles as son of a poor, but ambitious man, who awakened him daily with the words: "Get up, son, every other boy in the country is two hours ahead of your." In viewing Johnson's daily life, many intimate, significant characteristics come to light: his severe self-discipline in working habits: his demanding attitude towards his staff; the contrasting elements in his disposition, which make him an enigma to many people. Lyndon Johnson's rare gift as politician can be summed up by the following observation of Dean Acheson's: "Politics is an obscure art . . it's the incredibly difficult task of getting things done . . . Johnson is a about what he wants to do with the country and knows how to do it." In learning about Lyndon Johnson's past role in the arena of politics, the reader gains insight into his personality, his views on current issues, and his goals for the future. "THE SPLENDID, LITTLE WAR" by Frink Freldel "It has been a splendid little war," wrote John Hay to Theodore Roosevelt after the fall of Santiago. Little, the Spanish- Americar. War wajs; it was over in barely fourmonths. Splendid? Perhaps for those at home, reading the blazing headlines^1 about a war which, in its ineptitudes, its phenomenally lucky victories, its ironies, often resembled a comic opera. But for the men who fought in it, all during that hot and terrible summer, it was as bloody, dirty and heroic a .ware as any in history. This is their story, told in large measuie in the words of those who were there at the time: the men who did the fighting and the famous correspondents who wrote about it. Told, too, in more than three hundred photographs and line drawings made on the spot bj^ noted artists-- Frederic Remington, Howard Chandler Christy, William J. Glackens, among others. Frank Freidol, author of the definitive biography of Franklin D, Roosevelt and professor of history at Harvard, has combined pictures and text in a thrilling documentary of the war which began as a crusade, stirr.ng the hearts of the men who rushed to enlist in it, end lost its innocence some place in the mud, the deaths and the disillusionments between Santiago and the Philippines. Here are the men who, received it, day by day and hour by hour. Teddy Roosevelt, the indomitable leader of the Rough Riders, impatient, energetic, chafing at delay; leading his command into enemy lines without looking back to see if he were being followed.

And here, recorded not as they appear in history, but in the words of stark reality that ci.nie from the men who fought in them, are the battles themselves. Dewey's famous triumph over the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, accomplished! by men stripped down to their drawers and shoes as they fired, in the terrble heat, on ships whose movements were "flourished desperation inspired by defeat." The unforgettable battle of San Juan Hill -- not the graceful assault that it became in legend, but the ficrce struggle that made Stephen Crane cry out exultantly, •'Yes, they were going up the hill, up the hill. It was the best moment of anybody's life." The grimmepfc battles of the war were not these, however. The deadliest encounters were fought with subtler enemies: the heat, the torrential rains, the lack of food and shelter, the scarcity of^ medicine and the suffering of the wounded. They were fought in the. marshy swamps which bred typhoid fevier, dysentery, malaria and, the most dreaded killer of all, yellow fever, which took the lives of almost as many men as died in the actual fighting. "The splendid little war" is the recording of an exciting. Page Rnp colorful and often tragic event, The conflict it describes was distinguished by heroism o# both sides, nndr it was perhapj the last war to be fought ac«| coaling to the standards 0U5 military chivalry. IT there was indeed splendor ift the Spanish- American War, it was in the gallantry and-self-sacrifice displayed by the* men who fought in it; Professor Freidel's book is an enduring tribute to those forgotten heroes.
