No Time for Glory: The Story of a Dismissed LegendAuthorHouse, 28/12/2004 - 168 páginas This is an incredible story of a once obscure social welfare workers rise from a deathbed and subsequent catapult into a position of worldwide power and influence. Harry Hopkins was an improbable hero living on borrowed time at the epicenter of world chaos during World War II. By means of exceptional cunning, sustenance, valor, and patriotism, his achievements and services alter the course of history during the mid-twentieth century. His noble quest for the plight of the poor, the weak, and the hungry are surpassed only by a passion to defeat the tyrannical daring to live only to die for altruistic causes of country and humanity. These events of intrigue mined from archives of faded footnotes, when mended in chronological order and held to the light of a new era reveals the tribulations of a forsaken legend. No Time for Glory This in hope of preserving from decay the remberance of what men have done; Of preventing great and wonderful actions from losing their meed of glory; And withal to put on record what were their grounds of feud. Herodotus... 440 BC |
