The Extremists (Uncanny X-Men)
Ed Brubaker
Marvel Comics
, 2008
I love Morlocks.
In response to previous reviews, I thought this was an excellent story. Yes, it might just be a short story for the build up to "Messiah Complex", however it does two things for me that just blow me away. The first would be the return of Storm actually working with ...
The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American ...
Matt Taibbi
Spiegel & Grau
, 2008
Not his best, but Taibbi is always enjoyable
Matt Taibbi is in my opinion the most interesting political writer working today. He is a writer's writer, clearly in love with the language (in a very approachable way, don't worry) and quite gifted at turning a phrase. I regularly find myself stopping and rereading ...
Them: Adventures with Extremists
Jon Ronson
Simon & Schuster
, 2002
Fascinating
Fascinating material presented in a well written objective format. At first i was skeptical but apparently the NY Times and various other newspapers have investigated his work and given it a thumbs up.
We the People: A Call to Take Back America
Thom Hartmann
Coreway Media
, 2004
Don't let the format fool you, there is plenty of substance in this book
Although this book is in cartoon form, and is perhaps written for young people, it very clearly lays out how our government works, step-by-step, and includes elaboration of significant developments and flaws. In spite of the simplistic and light format, it contains a ...
American Terrorist: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing
Lou Michel
,
Dan Herbeck
Harper
, 2001
Book by Lou Michel: American Terrorist
If you want a book about Timothy McVeigh this is the one to buy. I like this one as it gives facts all about his life and the bombing and it lacks very few of the authors opinions! When I read about someone I like to read just the facts! I don't like someone trying ...
The Islamist
Ed Husain
Penguin Global
, 2008
For a better understanding...
This book clarified for me the difference between being a Muslim and being an Islamist and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a better understanding of the difference. All too often, it's difficult to separate the actual religion from what this group of people ...
Takeover: The Return of the Imperial Presidency and the Subversion of American Democracy
Charlie Savage
Back Bay Books
, 2008
Those who warp the Constitution and evade accountability
A most disturbing aspect of the Bush Administration is how Cheney and his chief counsel (now Chief of Staff) David Addington have maneuvered their way into essentially giving themselves a blank check that allows them to do whatever they want behind the scenes in the ...
Fugitive Days
William Ayers
Beacon Press
, 2001
Revolutionary hubris
I fully understand the revulsion that some people feel toward the author of this book, though I do not share that revulsion. William Ayers wanted to end the Vietnam war, which was a noble goal. He contributed absolutely nothing toward ending the war. Like most ...
The Great Theft: Wrestling Islam from the Extremists
Khaled M. Abou El Fadl
HarperOne
, 2007
An extremenly interesting and powerful book
In the midst of the confusion and misunderstanding that surrounds Islam from both Muslims and non-Muslims alike, this book manages to cut through all the chaos and re-examine all the issues. Through solid arguments, Abou El Fadl manages to pose a formidable challenge ...

John George
,
Laird M. Wilcox
Prometheus Books
, 1996
Definitive Work
When future American historians and political scientists look back at political extremism in the last half of the twentieth century, this is the book to which they will turn. It is thoroughly detailed and meticulously researched; in short the definitive work on this ...
Soulless: Ann Coulter and the Right-Wing Church of Hate
Susan Estrich
Regan Books
, 2006
Soulless is awesomeless
I love this book!! Susan is wonderful and witty - great read. Recommend to anyone who looks at Coulter and goes -Yewwww, yuck, and is she for real?
Aryan Cowboys: White Supremacists and the Search for a New Frontier, 1970-2000
Evelyn A. Schlatter
University of Texas Press
, 2006
During the last third of the twentieth century, white supremacists moved, both literally and in the collective imagination, from midnight rides through Mississippi to broadband-wired cabins in Montana. But while rural Montana may be on the geographical fringe of the country, white supremacist groups were not pushed there, and they are far from ...
NATO's Secret Army: Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe (Contemporary Security Studies)
GANSER DANIELE
Routledge
, 2005
The Key to Understanding our present circumstances
It does not require a great deal of reading between the lines of NATO's Secret Army to awaken to the grim reality that Americans must now reckon with. The author's description of the "strategy of tension" is chilling. Anyone claiming "disinformation" immediately ...
The I Hate Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity. . . Reader: The Hideous ...
Da Capo Press
, 2004
I hate them too!
This book is OUTSTANDING! It strips away the facade these right wing racist put up and shows the reader what they really are underneath. Instead of wasting your money of the drivel they write, purchase this book instead to hear the truth.
Hot Target (Troubleshooters, Book 8)
Suzanne Brockmann
Random House Large Print
, 2005
Jules Cassidy is my hero!
I absolutely loved the story between Jules & Robin. The other plots were good but the opening of the further adventures of the two men was exceptionally well written, sad and sweet. It left me wanting so much more!! Thank God Ms. Brockmann saw it that way, too.
