A Most Unusual Story About A Most Unusual ManFilled with more unique, interesting and eccentric characters than one can imagine, Dennis Drake's life carried him from the foothills of Montana halfway around the globe to the islands of the Mindanao Sea. Driven by a passion to help those in need, his journey began with a boy's struggle to find his place in the world, and developed into one of a leader loved by multitudes. Experience romance, heartbreak, extreme danger, adventure, political intrigue, entrepreneurship, and world exploration with Dennis Drake as he rises from the ashes of a devastating marriage to father the life changing International Deaf Education Association (IDEA) bringing hope and happiness to thousands. Dennis was an impulsive guy who wasn't afraid of hard work or failure. He would say he "didn't know what he didn't know and was blissfully ignorant" as he plunged headlong into improbable things. Some worked and many didn't but he had no doubt divine guidance was involved. Much more than the rescue of a deaf community played out on an island in the Mindanao Sea, his is a tale of a life well lived. Encouraging and warmly uplifting, this is a true story of devastating failure, a search for faith, an uncommon aptitude for pursuing a vision, and amazing triumph.

G-Man (Pulitzer Prize Winner): J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century

G-Man (Pulitzer Prize Winner): J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century

Beverly Gage

PENGUIN BOOKS
2023

Now in paperback, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of J Edgar Hoover deemed "Masterful...an enduring, formidable accomplishment, a monument to the power of biography that] now becomes the definitive work"by The Washington Post (and everywhere else) "Revelatory...an acknowledgment of the complexities that made Hoover who he was, while charging the turbulent currents that eventually swept him aside."--The New York Times G-Man is the groundbreaking portrait of a colossus who dominated half a century of American history and planted the seeds for much of today's conservative political landscape. Hoover transformed a scandal-riddled law-enforcement backwater, into a modern machine--one just as oppressive as it was promising. He rose to power and then stayed there, decade after decade, using the tools of the state to create a personal fiefdom unrivaled in U.S. history. Beverly Gage's monumental work explores the full sweep of Hoover's life and career, from his birth in 1895 to a modest Washington civil-service family to a strongarm for white supremacists and the politicized Christian right, serving eight presidents. G-Man places Hoover back where he once stood in American political history--not at the fringes, but at the center--and uses his story to explain the trajectories of governance, policing, race, ideology, political culture, and federal power as they evolved over the course of the 20th century. " A] crisply written, prodigiously researched, and frequently astonishing new biography"--The New Yorker "Gage's penetrating account of Hoover's career, especially his many long-eclipsed triumphs, offers a well-timed and sobering perspective as yet another institution in our fractured country struggles to maintain trust." -The Atlantic "Gage's triumph is her deft navigation through Hoover's 'deep state, ' while reminding us of the abuse of power that remains his enduring legacy."--The Boston Globe
