A journalist, diplomat, and writer, William Christian Bullitt (1891-1967) negotiated with Lenin and Stalin, Churchill and de Gaulle, Chiang Kai-shek and Goering. He took part in the talks that ended World War I and those that failed to prevent World War II. While his former disciples led American diplomacy into the Cold War, Bullitt became an early enthusiast of the European Union. From his early (1919) proposal of disassembling the former Russian Empire into dozens of independent states, to his much later (1944) advice to land the American troops in the Balkans rather than in Normandy, Bullitt developed a dissenting vision of the major events of his era. A connoisseur of American politics, Russian history, Viennese psychoanalysis, and French wine, Bullitt was also the author of two novels and a number of plays. A friend of Sigmund Freud, Bullitt coauthored with him a sensational biography of President Wilson. A friend of Bullitt, Mikhail Bulgakov depicted him as the devil figure in The Master and Margarita. Taking seriously Bullitt's projects and foresights, this book portrays him as an original thinker and elucidates his role as a political actor. His roads were not taken, but the world would have been different if Bullitt's warnings had been heeded. His experience suggests powerful though lost alternatives to the catastrophic history of the twentieth century.Based on Bullitt's unpublished papers and diplomatic documents from the Russian archives, this new biography presents Bullitt as a truly cosmopolitan American, one of the first politicians of the global era. It is human ideas and choices, Bullitt's projects and failures among them, that have brought the world to its current state.

Gentle Fragrance free Non-greasy Gel Cleanser
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this for my two teenage sons. I tend to lean towards more natural products. It's challenging to find affordable effective products that not loaded with all the additives and chemicals. While all the ingredients may not be completely "all natural" it is gentle and effective.
My oldest has been using this for about 6 months and has had great results so far. He has already went through an entire bottle and asked for more. It does help keep his face well balanced and his break outs under control.
It is a fragrance-free non greasy gel cleanser with a thin consistency. I got a good discount by purchasing two which is a great value for this product since it is already a decent price for what you get. My family also uses the Thayers witch hazel, milky cleanser, and milky toner and they are all great. We have some sensitive skin types in our family and Thayers does well with sensitive skin types including this Ph balancing cleanser.

Best Facewash
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Favorite face wash ever. No harsh smells or 'chemically' feel. Creates a nice bit of suds and leaves your skin feeling soft and really clean. Compared to other face washes, it is not too expensive for a great product.

Been using this cleanser for over a year now and I love it that it doesn’t strip my skin while leaving it still clean! Super gentle and no fragrance.
