[Signed] [First Edition] Worthy Fights: A Memoir of Leadership in War and Peace [SIGNED FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING] Panetta, Leon; Newton, Jim
100.18 CAD
Fine condition black boards/blue spine/silver front cover and spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Dedication; Prologue; Epilogue: Leadership or Crisis; Acknowledgments; Notes and Index. Illustrated with sections of black-and-white photographs. The lower rear jacket corner tip has a tiny 1/8th inch repaired closed tear (see photographs). Signed and inscribed by author Leon Panetta with blue pen on the blank first free front endpaper. "The inspiring and revelatory autobiography of the defense secretary and CIA director who led the intelligence war that killed Bin Laden, among many important roles in a legendary career.Worthy Fights is a reflection of Panetta's values. It is imbued with the frank, grounded, and often quite funny spirit of a man who never lost touch with where he came from: his family's walnut farm in beautiful Carmel Valley, California. It is also a testament to a lost kind of political leadership, which favors progress and duty to country over partisanship. Panetta is a Democrat who pushed for balanced budgets while also expanding care for the elderly and sick; a devout Catholic who opposes the death penalty but had to make life-or-death decisions virtually every day from 2009 through 2012. Throughout his career, Panetta's polestar has been his belief that a public servant's real choice is between leadership and crisis. Troubles always come about through no fault of one's own, but most can be prevented with courage and foresight. Leon Panetta calls them as he sees them in Worthy Fights. Suffused with its author's decency and common sense, the book is an epic American success story, a great political memoir, and a revelatory view onto many of the defining figures and events of our time." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps

Born in New York City, Tunney became known for his scientific approach to boxing, combining his tactical intelligence with outstanding footwork and defensive skills. He is most famous for his two victories over Jack Dempsey, the reigning heavyweight champion at the time, particularly their 1927 rematch known as "The Long Count Fight." Tunney's disciplined style and emphasis on strategy over sheer aggression set him apart from many of his contemporaries, earning him the nickname "The Fighting Marine" due to his service in the United States Marine Corps during World War I. After retiring with an impressive record of 65 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw, Tunney left an indelible mark on the sport and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990, celebrated for his intelligence, sportsmanship, and contributions to the art of boxing.
