In 1978, Janet Tavakoli moved to Iran with her husband — and watched the
Islamic Revolution unfold from the inside. The following year, she fled. In
1993, she was in the World Trade Center complex when terrorists detonated a
bomb in the North Tower's parking garage. And in 2014, she stood before the
Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and asked why the
highest levels of Islamic clergy authorize murder.
He dodged the answer.
Unveiled Threat is her answer — drawn from decades of personal experience and rigorous
study of the roots of terrorism.
Today only, the Kindle edition is free. If you've ever wanted to
understand the human forces behind the headlines, this is a rare and
unflinching account from someone who lived it. |

| | Fifty Years in Wall Street
I’ve
been restoring Henry Clews’s Fifty Years in Wall Street (1908). I have the
original book, but the pages have yellowed, and the hinge is cracked. One can
download a PDF of the original for free—public domain—from archive.org. Among
the gems in this book is an address he gave to Yale students in 1907. If I ever
have to give such a speech to students, I’ll adapt his speech of advice to
young men starting in life.
Clews’s
story of Commodore Vanderbilt’s short squeeze was fictionalized in “Face the
Music,” the third episode of HBO’s The Gilded Age.
For
my purposes, I split the book into Part One and Part Two. I added a
table of the dates of birth, death, and age at death of the men illustrated in
the original book. I also added the dates of birth and death to each photo.
Otherwise, I couldn’t keep all the generations of Roosevelts, Vanderbilts,
Clewses, Astors, and Rothschilds straight. |
