The Failure Factory: How Unelected Bureaucrats, Liberal Democrats, and Big Government Republicans Are ...
Bill Gertz

Crown Forum, 2008

Disturbing, yet highly informative
This book makes me sick to my stomach and extremely fearful for our national security. Slimeballs from each party have infiltrated our security and military administration and are working to defeat our country from the inside. It's a hard subject to stomach but more ...

Donald R. Keough

A Failure of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix
Edwin H. Friedman

Seabury Books, 2007

Family Systems applied to the culture

Author has excellent access...read this after Ghost Wars

Heart and Soul
Maeve Binchy

Knopf, 2009

Warm and real
It's something comforting about Maeve Binchy's books. The cliché about a book being like a good friend, is so very right in her case. Of course, one is interested in finding out what happens to the characters, but there is no hurry. In the case of this book, it is ...

Roméo Dallaire, Samantha Power

Da Capo Press, 2004

Well written book about what never should have happened
