`Mornings on Horseback` is the brilliant biography of the young Theodore Roosevelt. Hailed as `a masterpiece` (John A. Gable, `Newsday` ), it is the winner of the `Los Angeles Times` 1981 Book Prize for Biography and the National Book Award for Biography. Written by David McCullough, the author of `Truman,` this is the story of a remarkable little boy, seriously handicapped by recurrent and almost fatal asthma attacks, and his struggle to manhood: an amazing metamorphosis seen in the context of the very uncommon household in which he was raised.The father is the first Theodore Roosevelt, a figure of unbounded energy, enormously attractive and selfless, a god in the eyes of his small, frail namesake. The mother, Mittie Bulloch Roosevelt, is a Southerner and a celebrated beauty, but also considerably more, which the book makes clear as never before. There are sisters Anna and Corinne, brother Elliott (who becomes the father of Eleanor Roosevelt), and the lovely, tragic Alice Lee, TR's first love. All are brought to life to make `a beautifully told story, filled with fresh detail, ` wrote `The New York Times Book Review` A book to be read on many levels, it is at once an enthralling story, a brilliant social history and a work of important scholarship which does away with several old myths and breaks entirely new ground. It is a book about life intensely lived, about family love and loyalty, about grief and courage, about `blessed` mornings on horseback beneath the wide blue skies of the Badlands.

"The Ottoman Endgame: War, Revolution, and the Making of the Modern Middle East"draws from McMeekin s years of groundbreaking research in newly opened Ottoman and Russian archives. With great storytelling flair, McMeekin makes new the epic stories we know from the Ottoman front, from Gallipoli to the exploits of Lawrence in Arabia, and introduces a vast range of new stories to Western readers. His accounts of the lead-up to World War I and the Ottoman Empire s central role in the war itself offers an entirely new and deeper vision of the conflict. Harnessing not only Ottoman and Russian but also British, German, French, American, and Austro-Hungarian sources, the result is a truly pioneering work of scholarship that gives full justice to a multitiered war involving many belligerents. The fate of Alban itself is in her hands. But confidence is stretching thinner by the day when word of another Caller reaches the rebels: a Caller at Keldec s side with all of Neryn s power and none of her benevolence or hard-earned control. Mornings on Horseback pdf As the days before the battle drop quickly away, Neryn must find a way to uncover and exploit her opponent s weaknesses. At stake lies freedom for the people of Alban, a life free from hiding for the Good Folk and a chance for Flint and Neryn to finally be together. "From the Hardcover edition.""
