He intricately dissects Washington's character, leadership, and the ethical dilemmas he faced, offering a vivid portrayal that resonates within the broader discourse of American identity and governance. Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, was a scholar and public intellectual whose background in history and political science deeply informed his views on leadership. His passion for American history is reflected in this work, as he examines Washington not only as a military leader and president but also as a human being navigating the complexities of his time. Wilson's insights are particularly enriched by his understanding of progressive ideals and the evolution of American democracy. This engaging biography is highly recommended for those who seek to understand not only George Washington as an individual but also his profound impact on the United States. Wilson'Äôs nuanced and balanced portrayal serves as an essential read for historians, students, and anyone interested in the foundational narratives that shaped America.

At the age of 19, he was forced to leave his family behind as he smuggled out of Iraq in the secret hold of a Basra riverboat to escape the violent and repressive anti-Semitism that, over the next few years, would spell the end of the two-millennium-old Iraqi Jewish community."Beyond the Rivers of Babylon" follows Joe's remarkable journey, from his colorful childhood in the Old Jewish Quarter of Bagdad, to his life-altering service in the Israeli Navy, to starting a family and building a real estate empyrean Montreal and Los Angeles.Blessed with a remarkable vivid memory and a keen ability to look inward, Joe paints a sensory landscape of a home that is no more, and in the process imparts the lessons of a life lived to its fullest.Joe Samuels' memoir is a joyous recollection from a man who turned misfortune into tremendous success.

    Lessons on life and business you are guaranteed to find nowhere else. 
    The true, larger-than-life story of George “Boe” Boedecker, his fire to succeed, his “don’t just break the rules but make up new ones” attitude, his partners, his light bulb moment, the ridiculous origin story (of both shoe and man), and then the explosion (in more ways than one) of Crocs. 
    This is a modern-day ‘Big Fish’ tale of lovers and haters, rivals and thieves, the hard partying, the strongest man in the world and the Mexican police, the fender bender with Fleetwood Mac and the enterprising way into the hearts of the San Francisco 49ers, the little boy lost and Superman, the millions made and just given away, and how it nearly destroyed him. 
    Boe helped create the clunkiest – many would say ugliest – looking shoe in the world, which also became the best-selling non-sneaker brand on the planet. Everyone considered it a fad when he went public almost two decades ago – and it’s bigger now than it’s ever been, with billions and billions on feet in every corner of the world. More hated, more loved, never out of fashion. Ugly is beautiful…  
    We’re not talking about the shoe anymore. 
    In Croc, Boe tells his wild story through lessons on life and leadership that you are guaranteed not to find anywhere else. Strap in because it’s going to be a crazy ride, and you may be surprised at what you learn in the end. Funny, twisted, touching, exuberant. Sample lessons include:Do Not Listen to AnyoneWhen to Not Follow the RulesAvoid BossesYou Never Know When Opportunity Will Present ItselfIf You Threaten to Kill Your Brother-in-Law, Do Not Provide Time and Place.Ugly is Beautiful
