I have studied at English Intensive Programs in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the U.S. (at the University of Miami and the University of Pennsylvania). Your approach helped me more than all of these programs—combined—because it gets at the bottom line of storytelling, writing, and editing.

FOR CHARLIE’S STORYTELLING
About Broken Politics: How Woodrow Wilson Lost the League of Nations (forthcoming)
Broken Politics is a wonderful read, which carves out the main character well: authoritarian and dreamy, stubborn and idealistic, aloof but admired, diffident and grandiose. A risk taker. A man unwilling to compromise or to take criticism. The book puts into proper perspective that incredible 10,000-mile tour to the American West. Most historians skip over this as a quixotic adventure doomed to failure. This is an important and very successful addition to a field crowded with redundant biographies.
—Holger Herwig, University of Calgary, author of The Marne, 1914
Throughout its history, the U.S. has swung between isolationism and global engagement. Charlie Euchner brings new light to this issue with his superb cinematic story of the 1919 debate over the League of Nations. Euchner’s imaginative retelling of the debate gives flesh and blood to the ongoing struggle over whether to place “America first” or engage in the global issues that define our age.
— William Walker, author of Betrayal at Little Gibraltar
About Nobody Turn Me Around: A People’s History of the 1963 March on Washington

—John Egerton, author of Speak Now Against the Day
“Charles Euchner has brought the historic event back to life by presenting a panorama of viovod characters, torn by discord over tactics yet united in their determinationb to shame a timorous government to stamping out Jium Crow.
—Curtis Wilkie, longtime Boston Globe reporter and author of Dixie
“As Charles Euchner’s riveting account makes clear, the American public had only the barest grasp of the days, weeks and months of meticulous planning that went into the March on Washington that hot afternoon of August 28, 1963. … All the key figures of the civil rights movement of the 1960s are here. To Euchner’s great credit, they are presented as flesh and blood, not as cardboard cutouts for some Black History Month display.”
—Jack Shakely, senior fellow, Center on Philanthropy and Public Policy, University of Southern California
About In the Clearing Stands a Boxer: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of Gerry Cooney

—Ken Auletta of The New Yorker
About Keep It Short: A Practical Guide to Writing in the 21st Century

—Bernard Holland, critic emeritus for The New York Times

“This landmark work should anger taxpayers and inspire them to stand up to the millionaires pulling the strings behind teams and governments, entities citizens still naively consider their own.”
—Eliot Cohen, Dean, Nitze Schooll at Johns Hopkins University

Euchner shoots down the notion, seldom questioned by politicians who accede to the owners’ blackmail, that stadiums are a catalyst for redevelopment and the creation of jobs.”
—Sports Illustrated
