Robert J. Samuelson is a distinguished columnist for The Washington Post and Newsweek. In The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath he traces the origins and rise of double-digit inflation and its fall in the brutal 1981-82 recession, engineered by the Federal Reserve under then-chairman Paul Volcker and with the staunch backing of President Reagan. But that is only half the story. The end of high inflation triggered economic and social changes that are still with us. The stock market and housing booms were both direct outcomes; American business became more productive–and also much less protective of workers; and globalization was encouraged. ?We cannot understand today’s world, Robert contends, without understanding the Great Inflation and its aftermath. Nor can we prepare for the future unless we heed its lessons. This incisive and enlightening book will stand as the authoritative account of a watershed event of our times. Robert has also won numerous journalism awards. The list includes: The National Headliner Award for consistently outstanding column on one subject in 1995, 1993, 1992 and 1987; a 1993 John Hancock Award for best business and financial columnist; The Gerald Loeb Award for best commentary in 1993, 1986 and 1983; a Clarion Award for best magazine editorial/opinion column from Women in Communications in 1994; and a 1981 National Magazine Award. In 1997, he was a finalist for the Gerald Loeb Awards for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism for commentary, and the Washingtonian magazine named him among the top 50 journalists in the capital city. He is a 1967 graduate of Harvard with a B.A. in government.

Ira Stoll has been a consultant to the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, an editor of the Jerusalem Post, managing editor and Washington correspondent of the Forward, editor of Smartertimes.com, and a reporter for the Los Angeles Times. In Samuel Adams: A Life, he attempts to pull Adams out of the world of academic oblivion. Rebellious Americans' passionate vision of themselves as an incarnation of the Israelites freeing themselves from Egyptian slavery was invoked by Adams, one of the most religious American revolutionaries. He called on Americans to fulfill their God-given freedom and was a radical who endured physical danger, poverty and the death at 37 of his only son. But Ira also manages to powerfully show that Adams was the consummate newspaperman, a pundit dispersing the ideals of freedom. In helping to make America independent from England, Adams ceaselessly harked back to England's own history.
