The Coming Battle over the Global Economy
By Mark Engler
"Mark Engler offers a timely reminder that before Bush's boots and bombs there was Clinton's corporate 'consensus'... He then makes a case that there lies a third choice: democracy. Impressively researched and sharply argued, How to Rule the World is an essential handbook not for the few who do rule the world but for the many who should."

Should Government Help Your Neighbor?
By Deborah Stone
Experts say that too much help makes people passive and dependent, and self-interest is the only motive that spurs us to work and contribute to society. The Samaritan's Dilemma challenges this conventional wisdom. We live by everyday altruism. So when leaders define the ideal citizen as someone who withholds help, good people are repelled by politics.

America's War Against Iraqi Civilians
By Laila Al-Arian and Chris Hedges
In this devastating exposé, Pulitzer Prize-winner Chris Hedges and journalist Laila Al-Arian reveal the terrifying reality of daily civilian life in Iraq at the hands of U.S. troops. Collateral Damage is based on hundreds of hours of interviews with combat veterans who explain the tactics and operations that have turned many Iraqis against the U.S. military.
Michael Schwartz wrote on The Huffington Post that the book "offers the best account so far of what Hedges calls the 'vast enterprise of industrial slaughter unleashed in Iraq,' and its impact on the troops who are trained and ordered to administer it." |

My Crash Course in International Diplomacy
By Michael Soussan
In 1997, Michael Soussan accepted his dream job at the United Nations Oil-for-Food program, the largest humanitarian operation in the organization's history. On March 8, 2004, in a Wall Street Journal editorial, he became the first insider to call for "an independent investigation" of the UN's dealings with Saddam Hussein. Backstabbing for Beginners is at once the darkly comic tale of one man's political coming of age, and a stinging indictment of the hypocrisy that prevailed at the heart of the world's most idealistic institution.
The Wall Street Journal listed Backstabbing for Beginners as one of the 12 best books of 2008. |
