The biography between me and you books

Here, we meet the guilt-racked Secret Service agent assigned to John F. Kennedy's car in Dallas. He almost retired in the face of CBS's refusal to air a segment on the tobacco industry and had numerous, though less volcanic, other disagreements over the years. His coverage of Middle East topics fills a major portion of the book. Wallace interviewed several top names in the conflict, including Menachem Begin, Anwar Sadat and Yasser Arafat, as well as the Shah of Iran and the Ayatollah Khomeini, giving readers a glimpse of the geopolitically plagued times.

Wallace's feature on Syrian Jews was one of his most controversial, suggesting that the group might not have been as repressed by the government as the world had been led to believe. His unbiased reportage earned him the enmity of Jewish organizations around the world. With a reporter's eye for detail, Wallace mingles laughter, tragedy, and revelatory insight in a memoir unlike any other.

For anyone who's ever wondered what it's like to make history for a living, this is a must-read. The season marks his 37th on the broadcast. His background, which he describes as "physicality and chaos", leads him to emphasize the daily corporeal concerns he experiences as an African-American in U. Coates's position is that absent the religious rhetoric of "hope and dreams and faith and progress", only systems of White supremacy remain along with no real evidence that those systems are bound to change.

Coates gives an abridged, autobiographical account of his youth "always on guard" in Baltimore and his fear of the physical harm threatened by both the police and the streets. He also feared the rules of code-switching to meet the clashing social norms of the streets, the authorities, and the professional world. He contrasts these experiences with neat suburban life, which he calls "the Dream" because it is an exclusionary fantasy for White people who are enabled by, yet largely ignorant of, their history of privilege and suppression.

To become conscious of their gains from slavery, segregation, and voter suppression would shatter that Dream. Coates uses his friend's story to argue that racism and related tragedy affects Black people of means as well.
