• Kabuki Democracy: The System vs. Barack Obama

    Kabuki Democracy: The System vs. Barack Obama

    In this agenda-setting essay, journalist and historian Eric Alterman explains what is really happening with the Obama presidency. While Obama’s many compromises have disappointed liberals, Alterman argues that these concessions are largely due to a political system that is rigged against progressive change. These structural impediments to democracy have made the keeping of Obama’s campaign promises all but impossible.

    Brilliantly blending incisive political analysis with a clear agenda for change, Kabuki Democracy cuts through the clichés of conservative propaganda and lazy mainstream media analysis to demonstrate that genuine “change” will come to America only when people care enough to challenge the system.

  • If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans

    If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans

    Uttering lines that send liberals into paroxysms of rage, otherwise known as citing facts, is the spice of life. When I see the hot spittle flying from their mouths and the veins bulging and pulsing above their eyes, well, that s when I feel truly alive.
    So begins If Democrats Had Any Brains, They d Be Republicans, Ann Coulter s funniest, most devastating, and, yes, most outrageous book to date.
    Coulter has become the brightest star in the conservative firmament thanks to her razor-sharp reasoning and biting wit. Of course, practically any time she opens her mouth, liberal elites denounce Ann, insisting that She s gone too far! and hopefully predicting that this time it will bring a crashing end to her career.
    Now you can read all the quotes that have so outraged her enemies and so delighted her legions of fans. More than just the definitive collection of Coulterisms, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They d Be Republicans includes dozens of brand-new commentaries written by Coulter and hundreds of never-before-published quotations. This is Ann at her best, covering every topic from A to Z. Here you ll read Coulter s take on:
    Her politics: As far as I m concerned, I m a middle-of-the-road moderate and the rest of you are crazy.
    Hillary Clinton: Hillary wants to be the first woman president, which would also make her the first woman in a Clinton administration to sit behind the desk in the Oval Office instead of under it.
    The environment: God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It s yours.
    Religion: It s become increasingly difficult to distinguish the pronouncements of the Episcopal Church from the latest Madonna video.
    Global warming: The temperature of the planet has increased about one degree Fahrenheit in the last century. So imagine a summer afternoon when it s 63 degrees and the next thing you know it s . . . 64 degrees. Ahhhh!!!! Run for your lives, everybody! Women and children first!
    Gun control: Mass murderers apparently can t read, since they are constantly shooting up gun-free zones.
    Bill Clinton: Bill Clinton s library is the first one to ever feature an Adults Only section.
    Illegal aliens: I am the illegal alien of commentary. I will do the jokes that no one else will do.
    If Democrats Had Any Brains, They d Be Republicans is a must-have for anyone who loves (or loves to hate) Ann Coulter.

  • Gandhi & Churchill: The Epic Rivalry That Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our Age Paperback

    Gandhi & Churchill: The Epic Rivalry That Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our Age Paperback

    Mohandas Gandhi and Winston Churchill: India’s moral leader and Great Britain’s greatest Prime Minister. Born five years and seven thousand miles apart, they became embodiments of the nations they led. Both became living icons, idolized and admired around the world. Today, they remain enduring models of leadership in a democratic society. Yet the truth was Churchill and Gandhi were bitter enemies throughout their lives. This book reveals, for the first time, how that rivalry shaped the twentieth century and beyond. For more than forty years, from 1906 to 1948, Gandhi and Churchill were locked in a tense struggle for the hearts and minds of the British public, and of world opinion. Although they met only once, their titanic contest of wills would decide the fate of nations, continents, peoples, and ultimately an Empire. Here is a sweeping epic with a fascinating supporting cast, and a brilliant narrative parable of two men whose great successes were always haunted by personal failure – and whose final moments of triumph were overshadowed by the loss of what they held most dear.

  • The Wrong Guys: Murder, False Confessions, and the Norfolk Four Hardcover

    The Wrong Guys: Murder, False Confessions, and the Norfolk Four Hardcover

    A compulsively readable true-crime tale, with a damning argument about the relationship between the death penalty and false confessions, based on an Innocence Project case.

    “It’s time for Virginia’s governor to do something about the Norfolk Four….[This is] one of the most disturbing potential miscarriages of justice the commonwealth has seen in a long time.”—The Washington Post, editorial, December 1, 2006

    On July 8, 1997, nineteen-year-old sailor Billy Bosko returned to his home in Norfolk, Virginia, from a naval cruise to find his wife on the floor of their bedroom, raped and stabbed to death.

    In this gripping story of justice gone awry, four innocent men separately confess to the heinous crime that none of them actually committed. Though the real perpetrator has since been convicted, three of the four remain in prison today, attesting to the powerful role confessions—even false ones—play in our criminal justice system, where they typically trump fact, reason, and common sense.

    Writer Tom Wells and law professor Richard Leo masterfully interweave a narrative covering the unfolding of the case with an exploration of topics ranging from coercive interrogation, police perjury (“testilying”), and prosecutorial politics to the role of the death penalty in criminal law.

    With a clemency campaign for the three wrongly imprisoned men still ongoing, this book presents an urgent call for justice and a convincing case for reform in the criminal justice system.
