Good quote book
I really liked this book. As an atheist, it's great. For anyone else, I have the feeling that they would end up offended.
The Death and Life of American Journalism: The Media Revolution that Will Begin the World Again
Robert W. McChesney
,
John Nichols
Nation Books, 2010
Be afraid of small-minded critics.
Not only is this book NOT radical, it is intelligently written, well-researched, timely, and important. A functional democracy requires a healthy press, and clearly the US press is suffering under the influence of private capital. (Fox News is the poster child of our ...
Stripping Bare the Body: Politics Violence War
Mark Danner
Nation Books, 2009
Mark Danner's Autopsy of American Foreign Policy
Seeing Mark Danner in conversation with Bill Moyers inspired me to read his book, Stripping Bare the Body. In a quiet and deeply informed way, Danner pulls apart the threads of America's various foreign interventions of the past 25 years, from Haiti to Bosnia to Iraq. ...
Mirrors: Stories of Almost Everyone
Eduardo Galeano
Nation Books, 2009
History In The Eyes Of The Dispossessed
The old adage that history is written by the winners does not apply to Eduardo Galeano's Mirrors: Stories of Almost Everyone. In this book of short vignettes, some only a few sentences and none longer than a page, Galeano traces the world's history from the first ...
Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army [Revised and Updated]
Jeremy Scahill
Nation Books, 2008
this is important journalism
This type of journalism is what REALLY helps to keep America free. Not the gun-toting lunatics at Blackwater. A company headed by a ruthless killer that hides behind some sort of belief in "God". Sure. Blackwater and companies like them are a going to go down in ...

Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement that Shattered the Party
Max Blumenthal
Nation Books, 2009
Definitely a must-read
Reading this book was like driving by a bad auto accident on the highway - you want to look away, but you can't. I thought I knew a fair bit about the so-called "religious Right," but this book was an eye-opener. Raised a fairly conventional Catholic, I did not ...
Travel as a Political Act
Rick Steves
Nation Books, 2009
A wonderfully unique travel book
The Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has a great phrase about how Americans should interact with the rest of the world (I'm paraphrasing a bit): "We have to stop thinking of America solely as an exporter of great ideas and realize that we should be an importer of ...
After Empire: The Birth of a Multipolar World
Dilip Hiro
Nation Books, 2010
American corporations have to beg for capital from the cash-rich Sovereign Wealth Funds in the Persian Gulf. By invading Iraq, President George W. Bush grossly undermined American credibility in the international arena and irrevocably weakened Washington?s diplomatic clout. Together, these historic shifts have provided an opportunity for the world ...

A World I Loved: The Story of an Arab Woman
Wadad Makdisi Cortas
Nation Books, 2009
A Wonerful, Illuminating Book
I loved this book, which is both the personal memoir of a fascinating broad-minded accomplished woman educator and a political history of the forces riling her enlightened world. Her empathy for Jewish refugees and their children whom she educates in her cosmpolitan ...
The Silence and the Scorpion: The Coup Against Chavez and the Making of Modern Venezuela
Brian A. Nelson
Nation Books, 2009
Detalles desconocidos por mi
El libro es una descripción en extremo detallada de los sucesos del 11 al 13 de Abril del 2002, escrito, a mi manera de pensar, en forma independiente. Lo recomiendo por la cantidad de detalles que, por lo menos yo, desconocía antes de leer este libro. Es importante ...
El Monstruo: Dread and Redemption in Mexico City
John Ross
Nation Books, 2009
The Monster unmasked
John Ross has written a terrific history of Mexico City. He intersperses his narrative of the past thousand years with vignettes of the people he's come to know at the Café Blanca, his kitchen and dining room in the gloriously seedy historic core of Mexico City where ...
