The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism
Metropolitan Books, 2008
Bacevich nails it. Read it and weep.
A dense but highly thoughtful analysis of our current problems. Right on target. How the heck did we ever let our country get into such an awful state. This is not only a great study of how we got here, it's a call to arms to change.

Harvard Perspectives Press (hppress.blogspot.com), 2007
Good reference material
Seems people either love this material or hate it. When I buy something new I try and find something to use besides what the owners' guide. The Kindle is a remarkable piece of hardware, and the author has listed a lot of things it can do not mentioned in the ...

What's nice about this one is that both Edward and Jacob are present. Although quite different, both add ...

Windblown Media, 2008
Thought provoking
This is the best, most thought provoking book I've read in a long time. In many ways it may rub pople the wrong way in the same way that Shane Clayboune's "Irresistable Revolution" did, in that it might lead you to question aspects of religion or think about it ...
