The Five Handshakes

By George T. Anagnos

Four United States Presidents encountered serious political problems after shaking hands with the author, and one Speaker of the House was imprisoned following their handshake. The World Trade Center in New York City was destroyed during the author's daily passages through it, and the Concorde supersonic jet exploded following his two flights. The top of a Manhattan skyscraper whose design he helped to complete was the scene of a rare helicopter crash that killed its pilot. Within an enlivened recounting of these intriguing coincidences, we learn of the origins and values of this confirmed conservative, from the real history of the fall of Saigon and the Watergate scandal to the benefits of the Supreme Court decisions overturning Roe v. Wade and affirmative action. The Five Handshakes is an entirely true story that presents a participating life and the viewpoints shaped by it with a literate and informed genuineness that will be enjoyed by conservatives and liberals alike.
