Americans have long heard the story of Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders charging up San Juan Hill during the Spanish-American War. But often forgotten in the great swamp of history is that Roosevelt’s success was ensured by a dedicated corps of black soldiers—the so-called Buffalo Soldiers—who fought by Roosevelt’s side during his legendary campaign. Roosevelt admitted that the black troops actually spearheaded the charge, beating him to the top of Kettle Hill ahead of San Juan Hill, but later changed his story, claiming their perfor­mance was due to the superior white officers under whom the black troops served. The Roughest Riders takes a closer look at common historical legend and balances the record. It is the inspiring story of the first African American soldiers to serve during the post-slavery era, first in the West and later in Cuba, when full equality, legally at least, was still a distant dream. They fought heroically and courageously, making Roosevelt’s campaign a great success that added to the future president’s legend as a great man of words and action. But most of all, they demonstrated their own military prowess, often in the face of incredible discrimination from their fellow soldiers and commanders, and rightfully deserve their own place in American history.

A Portrait of Hemingway as a Young Man is apartly satirical, partly serious homage to the men and women whom many regard as perhaps the greatest literary generation in modern times. Like other writers of his generation, the author, Jerome Tuccille grew up in the shadows of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Wolfe, Faulkner and other early 20th century authors. The book is written with tongue firmly planted in cheek but also with great respect for the writers portrayed in it.

In „Meist beginnt es mit Ayn Rand“ nimmt Jerome Tuccille den Leser mit auf einen „umwerfend komischen Ritt durch die wilden und verrückten Gefilde der libertären Rechten“, wie es in „Publisher’s Weekly“ hieß. Unterwegs zerlegt er zahlreiche Mythen, die sich um die bekanntesten Helden der politischen Rechten ranken: Ayn Rand, Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley jr., Ronald Reagan und viele andere. Auch er selbst bleibt dabei nicht von der Feder des Satirikers verschont: Ausführlich beschreibt er seine skurrile Kandidatur für das Amt des Gouverneurs des Staates New York im Jahre 1974 – ein Abenteuer, das ihn an den Rand der Insolvenz und in familiäre Turbulenzen brachte. David D. Friedman schrieb in seinem Vorwort zu einer Jubiläumsausgabe: „Tuccille ist urkomisch. Sein Buch liest sich leicht, die Seiten fliegen nur so dahin. Das ist Pop-Geschichte, keine tiefschürfende Theorie, und so werden Sie beim Lesen lediglich wegen Ihrer Lachanfälle pausieren müssen. Was sollen wir auch von einem Buch halten, das zur Diskussion der Stellungnahme von Ayn Rand zur Umweltverschmutzung lediglich den Ausruf beiträgt: ‚Ayn, du süße, liebenswerte, verrückte Schlampe!‘“
