Описание:

Critically acclaimed author Robert Klara's The Hidden White House leads readers through an unmatched tale of political ambition and technical skill: the Truman administration's controversial rebuilding of the White House.

In 1948, President Harry Truman, enjoying a bath on the White House's second floor, almost plunged through the ceiling of the Blue Room into a tea party for the Daughters of the American Revolution. A handpicked team of the country's top architects conducted a secret inspection of the troubled mansion and, after discovering it was in imminent danger of collapse, insisted that the First Family be evicted immediately. What followed would be the most historically significant and politically complex home-improvement job in American history. While the Trumans camped across the street at Blair House, Congress debated whether to bulldoze the White House completely, and the Soviets exploded their first atomic bomb, starting the Cold War.

Indefatigable researcher Robert Klara reveals what has, until now, been little understood about this episode: America's most famous historic home was basically demolished, giving birth to today's White House. Leaving only the mansion's facade untouched, workmen gutted everything within, replacing it with a steel frame and a complex labyrinth deep below ground that soon came to include a top-secret nuclear fallout shelter.

The story of Truman's rebuilding of the White House is a snapshot of postwar America and its first Cold War leader, undertaking a job that changed the centerpiece of the country's national heritage. The job was by no means perfect, but it was remarkable--and, until now, all but forgotten.

Описание: Dis waar dit ge indig het, toe die trekker se wiel Klara se pa papgedruk het. Toe hulle n haar pa se dood van Boplaas moes weg en in die Witlokasie moes gaan woon, toe was alles verby. Boplaas het hulle afgeskud. Of so het Klara gedink. Maar die waarheid is dat Boplaas nie klaar was met haar nie. Haar susters kon wegkom - Leen met haar oneerbiedigheid en Martie deur met 'n halwe Duitser te trou en landuit te vlug - maar nie sy nie. Iemand moes omsien na Ma wie se kop heeltemal uitgehaak het, en iemand moes help om Ma se fratskind, Henk, deur matriek te sien, en daarby moes Klara ook nog haar eie geleerdheid kry. Eers toe die ding met Dries, Boplaas se erfgenaam, op die rotse loop, was dit asof Klara haar kon losmaak van haar verlede. En n hoeveel jaar ook los van Hannes aan wie haar hart verbind geraak het soos 'n lusernland aan 'n leivoor. Maar dit is juis toe sy uiteindelik weggaan dat Klara agterkom hoe onlosmaaklik sy verstrengel is met daardie plaas en sy mense.
