Just Plain Dick: Richard Nixon's Checkers Speech and the "Rocking, Socking" Election of 1952
Mattson's book will appeal to historians, politicians, politics buffs, and those interested in the impact of television on the electorate.
PREMIUM
Twilight of the Elites
This is more wishful thinking on the part of the author than a valuable roadmap to show the way for the country to solve its problems, but it will appeal to social theorists and political news junkies, particularly those on the left of the political spectrum. Purchase accordingly. [See Prepub Alert, 12/16/11.]

Killing the Cranes
With his vast experience inside Afghanistan during different conflicts, Girardet presents strong evidence that foreign powers from the British to the Soviets to the Americans have all made the same mistakes by attempting to impose their own political models and values on a nation that does not fit into any Western mold. While this conclusion is hardly new, Girardet's excellent work should be of particular interest to historians, foreign policy buffs, political scientists, and military personnel.

American Anthrax
Guillemin provides a well-written account of an important historical event. Along with Willman's book, this will be of interest to political scientists, historians, scientists, and readers interested in criminal investigations.
PREMIUM
Deadly Indifference
Brown's version of events will be of interest to politics junkies, journalists, and the millions of people whose lives were impacted by Katrina. In offering the other side of the story, Brown presents valuable information for historians who will eventually decide where to place the blame for the inadequate relief efforts.
PREMIUM
The Mirage Man
Willman has produced an impressive piece of investigative journalism that will be of interest to all Americans but particularly to those involved in national security, law enforcement, and civil liberties.
PREMIUM
High Stakes
This important book will be of interest to all Americans but should be required reading for politicians who see gambling as a panacea for their state's fiscal problems.
PREMIUM
Twelve Steps Toward Political Revelation
Regardless of one's political point of view, it is refreshing to read a book on social issues written with the flair of a novelist. Those interested in keeping up with the state of our country will enjoy, along with fans of Mosley's fiction.
PREMIUM
The Obama Haters
The author writes well but uses innuendo, slurs, and simplification much as those he accuses of hating President Obama do. While many Americans want a more civil tone between both ends of the political spectrum, this book offers little to advance us toward that goal.
