James VI & I, who died 400 years ago, was one of Britain’s most consequential and interesting monarchs, not least in creating the British monarchy itself by joining the English and Scottish thrones. A major intellectual, James's preoccupations ranged from witchcraft and theological controversy to hunting, diplomacy, poetry and sartorial fashion. The 'Mirror of Great Britain' was a spectacular jewel that gave symbolic endorsement to James's vision of British union, but mirrors themselves supplied James with one of his favourite literary metaphors.

सुषमा स्वराज की छवि मेरे मानस पटल पर सामाजिक और राजनीति सरोकारों में सामंजस्य बिठाने और दोनों को संभालने वाली एक आदर्श महिला के रूप में दर्ज हो गई। वस्तुतः उनके व्यक्तित्व के पीछे की आभा और भी उज्जवल हो गई। बाद में जैसे-जैसे मुझे सुषमा जी के साथ काम करने और उनका सानिध्य मिलता गया, उनके साथ मेरी निकटता बढ़ती गई, वैसे-वैसे मेरे मन में उनके प्रति सम्मान दोगुना होता गया। मेरी तरह अनगिनत लोग उनके व्यक्तित्व से प्रभावित थे।

समाजकारण व राजकारण या दोन्ही गोष्टी सांभाळताना माझ्या मनामधली एक आदर्श व्यक्ती म्हणून सुषमा स्वराज ही प्रतिमा जशी होती ती तशीच कायम राहिली. किंबहुना त्यांच्यामागची आभा आणखी तेजस्वी होत गेली. नंतर सुषमाजींबरोबर कामकरण्याची जसजशी मला संधी मिळत गेली, त्यांचा सहवास मिळाला, त्यांच्याशी जवळीक वाढत गेली तसतसा त्यांच्याविषयीचा आदर द्विगुणित झाला.

Sir Winston Churchill was a British statesman, orator and author who as prime minister rallied the British people during World War II and led Britain to an allied victory.

Robert Timberg weaves together the lives of Annapolis graduates John McCain, James Webb, Oliver North, Robert McFarlane, and John Poindexter to reveal how the Vietnam War continues to haunt America.

John Hay, Lincoln's private secretary and later secretary of state under presidents McKinley and Roosevelt, and Samuel Langhorne Clemens, famous as "Mark Twain", grew up 50 miles apart on the banks of the Mississippi River in the same rural antebellum stew of race, class, and want. This shared history drew them together in the late 1860s, and their mutual admiration never waned in spite of sharp differences.

An aging judge about to step down. Aggressive prosecutors friendly with the judge. A disgraced president. A nation that had already made up its mind. The Watergate trials were a legal mess-and now, with the discovery of new documents that reveal shocking misconduct by prosecutors and judges alike, former Nixon staffer Geoff Shepard has a convincing case that the wrongdoing of these history-making trials was actually a bigger scandal than the Watergate scandal itself.

There’s a new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives. It affects every advertisement we see and every product we buy, from our morning coffee to a new pair of shoes. “Stakeholder capitalism” makes rosy promises of a better, more diverse, environmentally friendly world, but in reality, this ideology, championed by America’s business and political leaders, robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity.

George Washington, the first president of the United States, is much more than a monument on Mount Rushmore. Who was Washington, the general, president, and husband? He was first and foremost a man of impeccable honor which, despite military adversity and political wrangling, never abandoned him. The Founding Fathers who squabbled and competed among themselves did agree on one thing: Only Washington could lead the country, first in the country’s military fight for freedom and then as the man charged with transforming 13 individual states into a united country.
