Both Sides of the Shield (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Both Sides of the Shield Major Butt was my Military Aide. He was like a member of my family, and I feel his loss as if he had been a younger brother. As in Manila, as in Augusta, so in Washington, everybody knew Archie as "Archie." It was not necessary to add the title or the last name. Every one knew whom we meant when we spoke of "Archie." I cannot enter a box in the theatre, I cannot turn around in my rooms in the White House, I cannot go anywhere, that I do not expect to see his smiling face and hear his encouraging tones. The life of a President is rather isolated, and those who are appointed to live with him come much closer to him than they would filling a similar function for other persons. The consequence is that the bond between an Aide and a President is very close. It enables the Aide to read the President, I suppose, and it certainly enables the President to read the Aide. I first knew Archie Butt in the Philippines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
