In the early 1960s, novelist and journalist John A. Williams was commissioned by Holiday magazine to test the winds of racial change across the USA. Williams set out on a cross-country tour in a shiny new car (a station wagon) and with, as the cover states, "a fistful of credit cards". This book is a searingly honest account of both the good and the bad he encountered.

The Jerry Doyle Show is the seventh largest syndicated radio show in the country with affiliates in 240 markets reaching 3.5 million listeners each week. From his childhood in Flatbush, Brooklyn, his career in aviation, to his time on Wall Street and departure to Los Angeles to become one of the lead actors on the Emmy Award-winning hit show Babylon 5, then stepping into the political arena as the Hollywood Republican Nominee for Congress in the 2000 election, and now as a talk radio host, Jerry Doyle’s experiences from career to career and coast to coast have molded his political opinions and made him one of the most popular radio hosts in the country. Now, with Have You Seen My Country Lately?, Doyle tackles the tough political issues our country is facing with his independent views and trademark wit. Doyle addresses what needs to be done to get America back on the road to liberty and prosperity. The book explores the financial crisis, analyzing the anatomy of an auto industry takeover, exploring American sovereignty, and the 1960s radical politics that are alive and well in our government today. Using humorous anecdotes from his colorful life, Have You Seen My Country Lately ? features chapters, “Smoke for the Children,” “Economic Fascism,” “TARP This,” “Drain the Political Swamp,” and “You’re Not Someone Special.” Doyle delves into the absurdity of government policies, while bringing key issues to light and offering his solutions on how we can bring about the changes we really need.

WINNER OF THE 2018 NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD The definitive memoir of one of Israel's most influential soldier-statesmen and one-time Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, with insights into forging peace in the Middle East. In the summer of 2000, the most decorated soldier in Israel's history—Ehud Barak—set himself a challenge as daunting as any he had faced on the battlefield: to secure a final peace with the Palestinians. He would propose two states for two peoples, with a shared capital in Jerusalem. He knew the risks of failure. But he also knew the risks of not trying: letting slip perhaps the last chance for a generation to secure genuine peace. It was a moment of truth. It was one of many in a life intertwined, from the start, with that of Israel. Born on a kibbutz, Barak became commander of Israel's elite special forces, then army Chief of Staff, and ultimately, Prime Minister. My Country, My Life tells the unvarnished story of his—and his country's—first seven decades; of its major successes, but also its setbacks and misjudgments. He offers candid assessments of his fellow Israeli politicians, of the American administrations with which he worked, and of himself. Drawing on his experiences as a military and political leader, he sounds a powerful warning: Israel is at a crossroads, threatened by events beyond its borders and by divisions within. The two-state solution is more urgent than ever, not just for the Palestinians, but for the existential interests of Israel itself. Only by rediscovering the twin pillars on which it was built—military strength and moral purpose—can Israel thrive.

Christine Whitman offers an insider’s view of the corrosive effects—on the party and the country as a whole—of the rise of zealous conservatism. She tells many stories from the front lines of her battles with conservatives, as well as those of other moderate Republicans, and argues that the rise of this bullying faction—as opposed to being the voting juggernaut party leaders have considered it—has kept the Republican party from building a true voting majority. It has also, she argues, pushed the polarization of the electorate to an appalling extreme. Each chapter focuses on the key hot-button issues that were the most contentious battlegrounds between moderates and conservatives in 2005, and the areas where she thinks the conservatives took the party in the wrong direction: race relations, abortion rights, the environment, taxes, and international affairs. In each of these areas, Whitman tells stories about how in her own career she has been able to make great progress by taking a moderate approach—by finding what she calls “the productive middle,” such as in her unprecedented admission that racial profiling was indeed happening on New Jersey’s highways. This is a fascinating insider’s account of how politics happens on the ground and behind the closed doors, with a message that will speak powerfully to an all too silent moderate Republican majority.
