Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthyThe definitive biography of the most dangerous demagogue in American history, based on first ever review of his personal and professional papers, medical and military records, and recently unsealed transcripts of his closed door Congressional hearings In the long history of American demagogues, from Huey Long to Donald Trump, never has one man caused so much damage in such a short time as Senator Joseph McCarthy. We still use "McCarthyism" to stand
The definitive biography of the most dangerous demagogue in American history, based on first-ever review of his personal and professional papers, medical and military records, and recently unsealed transcripts of his closed-door Congressional hearings In the long history of American demagogues, from Huey Long to Donald Trump, never has one man caused so much damage in such a short time as Senator Joseph McCarthy. We still use "McCarthyism" to stand for outrageous charges of guilt by association, a weapon of polarizing slander. From 1950 to 1954, McCarthy destroyed many careers and even entire lives, whipping the nation into a frenzy of paranoia, accusation, loyalty oaths, and terror. When the public finally turned on him, he came crashing down, dying of alcoholism in 1957. Only now, through bestselling author Larry Tye's exclusive look at the senator's records, can the full story be told. Demagogue is a masterful portrait of a human being capable of immense evil, yet beguiling charm. McCarthy was a tireless worker and a genuine war hero. His ambitions knew few limits. Neither did his socializing, his drinking, nor his gambling. When he finally made it to the Senate, he flailed around in search of an agenda and angered many with his sharp elbows and lack of integrity. Finally, after three years, he hit upon anti-communism. By recklessly charging treason against everyone from George Marshall to much of the State Department, he became the most influential and controversial man in America. His chaotic, meteoric rise is a gripping and terrifying object lesson for us all. Yet his equally sudden fall from fame offers reason for hope that, given the rope, most American demagogues eventually hang themselves.Binding Type: Hardcover

quick set up
Color: Rechargeable Set with Base
So far, 2 weeks, it was easy to fill, charged quickly, looks lovely, easy adjustment on the course to fine dial, great value, so far. and mush less clutter-y than the four different items I had to use to get both fine and course grands. Light weight and it appears to be built to last.

This electric salt and pepper grinder set is an absolute game-changer. With a generous capacity, you’ll refill far less often, and the rechargeable base keeps everything powered—no more hunting for batteries. The adjustable coarseness delivers perfect results every time, whether you’re finishing a dish with a fine seasoning or adding a bold, coarse grind. The built-in LED light gives you precise control, and the grinders themselves feel solid, high-quality, and impressively sleek. They look stunning on any counter or dinner table. If you want to elevate your kitchen experience—or give a gift that truly impresses—this set is a clear winner.

Love these rechargeable, refillable, salt & pepper grinders. Grinders work great & easy to set the grind. Also, easy to use, easy to clean and recharge. Much better than the battery power grinders.

Beautiful, functional, easy on hands, push button
Color: Stainless Steel
Update: these are great! I only charged them the day they arrived 3 months ago from Amazon, and have not had to charge them yet. They work efficiently every time my whole family loves using them,,especially the grandkids.
I specifically wanted "push button" , and easy-rechargeable. I have arthritis so it's pretty amazing and wonderful.
These rechargeable grinders are lightweight when they arrive, and easy to fill from the top.
For each grinder, you will need to turn the top opening slightly to the left to release it, and then pull it open.
My 9yo grandson had to show me.
The salt and pepper grindersmake a relatively, low grinding sound, and have a small, shining,light at the bottom where the salt and pepper come out onto the food. The performance is good, the salt and pepper output seems not too much and not too little.
Charging these grinders was extremely easy, and the little charging unit stand is provided with a C charger which you can connect into the back of the charging unit, and a USB connection on the other end for the wall .
