London: BCA / Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1999. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 11 1/4" x 8 1/2". 432 pages, illustrated throughout in black and white, some colour. A very heavy book - additional postage likely.., BCA / Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1999, 3, New York: Doubleday, 2002. BC2 - A bound galley paperback book in very good condition that has some bumped corners, curled, "A" written on the bottom page edges, some dog-eared pages, tanning, and light shelf wear. In this fascinating, true tale in New York and Washington during the mid-nineteenth century, Thomas Keneally brings to life the powerful politician and inveterate womanizer whose irresistible charms and rock-solid connections not only paved the way to a stunning career but literally allowed him to get away with murder. 9"x6", 380 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. On the last Sunday of February 1859, Dan Sickles, a charming young congressman from New York, murdered his good friend Philip Barton Key (son of Francis Scott Key) - who was also his wife's lover - in Washington's Lafayette Square. The shooting took place directly across the street from the White House, the home of Sickles's friend and protector, President James Buchanan. Sickles turned himself in; political friends in New York's Tammany Hall machinery, including the dynamic criminal lawyer James Brady, quickly gathered around. While his beautiful young wife was banned from public life and shunned by society, Dan Sickles was acquitted. His wife, Teresa, however, was shunned and thereafter banned from public l;ife, eventually contracting tuberculosis and dying alone. Free to resume his life, Sickles raised a regiment for the Union political elite and went on to become a general in the army, rising to the rank of brigadier general and commanding a flank at the Battle of Gettysburg in a maneuver so controversial it is still argued over by scholars today. After losing a leg in that battle, Sickles fought on and after the war became military governor of South Carolina. Thomas Keneally brilliantly re-creates and later was named minister to Spain, where he continued astonishingly to conduct his amorous assignations.. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket as Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Advance Reading Copy (ARC)., Doubleday, 2002, 3<
