All Too Human : A Political Education by George Stephanopoulos

Here it is--the long-awaited story of the young staff member of the Clinton White House who shared an unusually close relationship with the president... no, no, not her.

Without George Stephanopoulos, it's possible that Bill Clinton might never have been elected in 1992, and he was rewarded for his campaign work with a senior adviser's position. From that unique vantage point comes All Too Human, perhaps the first genuinely anticipated political memoir from Clinton's presidency.

In the 1960s, China and the United States had no trade relations and no direct diplomatic contacts. At the end of the 20th century, the two nations are major trading partners who regularly swap visits between their heads of state, and the relationship between the world's most populous nation (with its nuclear weapons and rapidly expanding economy) and the world's most powerful nation (standard-bearer of democracy and capitalism) has become increasingly vital to world peace. Though it remains fraught with problems, the relationship between China and America has survived such crises as the Tiananmen massacres and confrontations over Taiwan.

"East and West: China, Power, and the Future of Asia" by Christopher Patten Christopher Patten is modest about being the Last Governor ("a title invariably given capital letters to denote, I suppose, its historic significance") of a British-ruled Hong Kong, and about his role in the transition of the colony to Chinese rule in 1997.
"Great Political Wit of the 20th Century" by Bob Dole "Losing an election does not mean losing your sense of humor," writes Bob Dole in this hilarious collection of political jokes and stories. Humor is often paired with real insight into the game of politics: "No TV performance takes such careful preparation as an off-the-cuff talk," remarked Richard Nixon in 1952. There's also sound advice: "Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names," opined John F. Kennedy.
