Politics Nonfiction

Well before I read this book a was a firm believer that outsource offered no benefits to the US, and it was simply taking jobs away. This book provided me with overwelming evidence that outsourcing is does have a negative effect in the short...

Al Gore has written a brilliant but short (270 pages without notes) and easy to read contemporary social and political history. It does ramble, as the Time Magazine cover story seemed to suggest, but that is because it is poorly edited and...

"A visionary analysis of how the politics of fear, secrecy, cronyism, and blind faith has combined with the degradation of the public sphere to create an environment dangerously hostile to reason." - Amazon Review

Reading that line I...

Al Gore has somewhat re-invented himself since his political implosion a few years ago. First there was the very timely work on global warming which was, albeit nothing new, actually pretty well done. Now in this latest effort Gore seems to be...

This is an incredible book by a credible author, Joel Rosenberg. What a tremendous insight into the real problems of the middle east . . . one I have not seen elsewhere!

Oil is a finite resource. Demand is increasing, while no new oil is being created -- it was deposited millions of years ago. The countries with the most oil reserves are all in the Middle East -- Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, the UAE and Kuwait....

This is a fair book and does an excellent job of stating some of the future problems Israel will face in its future. Mr. Rosenburg is able to get many good interviews with Arab and Israeli leaders. That is worth the price of the book itself....

Just finished reading the book. I couldn't put it down. Goldberg dishes out the dirt to both sides-- but for different reasons. Weak, wimpy Republicans and liberals who have lost their minds. The Republicans have lost their drive and won't fight...

I expected, as the title would imply, that Bernard Goldberg's new book would be a reasonable look at both sides of the political spectrum. I guess I was a little on the na�ve side. This book is primarily a rant against the "liberals", who in Mr....

I don't have this book yet but I plan on reading it. I wanted to give this review 3 stars because no one else will. Since Bernard Goldberg is on the right everyone leaning to the right gives him 5 stars while those leaning to the left give it...

I could find nothing in this outstanding book that I could not research and find true. It's a very real call to the people of this country, the United States of America, as well as every other country that has some semblance of Democracy.

Although I find many of Mark Steyn's assertions to be deplorable and unfounded, his wit and rhetorical skills are undeniable and this book will be, if nothing else, an entertaining read for anyone interested in the political dialogue about the...

I found this book very interesting although it was frequently annoying.

Mark Steyn isn't too worried about being politically correct. Sometimes, I think he says some things that probably need to be brought up. At other times, I...

BE is a woman with a very liberal political perspective and her bias was quite obvious when she did her "research". She wanted to see how the "little person" gets by in minimum wage jobs. It seemed that all the worker bees she encountered were...

While anecdotally interesting, the experimental design of this "study" misses the absolutely key aspect. The real females of any social class are not monks on a book-research mission. They date and marry, and thus have boyfriends and husbands....

The Amazon.com review states that, "[i]n this greatly anticipated revised edition, Anderson updates and elaborates" his arguments first included in the 1991 edition and "revisits these fundamental ideas, showing how their relevance has been tested...

This book is typical marxist/internationalist nonsense. Anderson's apparently brilliant revelation seems to be that "nations" are artificial constructs or "imagined" entities. Well, duh. All civilization is essentially artificial in the sense that...

I was disappointed in this 'new edition', because it is a missed opportunity.

When it was first published in 1983, 'Imagined Communities' deservedly became a classic in the analysis of nationalism - and an excellent antidote to those...

If only millions would read this Book! What Brent Bozell does hear in Whitewash, is explain how a First Lady, to a disgraced, impeached president (who left us in a recession, with a weekend military, and valuable to terrorists attacks) become a...

The only thing this book "proves" is that there really IS a vast right-wing conspiracy to discredit Hillary and Bill Clinton. Look at the gallery of rogues that are interviewed to give the "truth" about Senator Clinton: Rush Limbaugh, Newt...

Hedges is one of the sharpest and most intellectually brave writers on the political scene. His experience in war zones gives him a unique maturity and voice. As with "War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning", this book is a study of the mass mind...

Wow, as one who has respect for Hedges past works (War As A Force... and his work on the Times) I was really taken back by the hateful and intolerant tone of this book.

With his history as a polemic, I expected Hedges to once again...

I think the premise of this book is looking at the problem from the wrong direction, you have to dig a little deeper. The christian right are just willing puppets of the true right wing corporatocracy that runs the U.S. and most of the world. No...

This book is exactly what i expected. Its a handbook for the young poli-sci major or entrepreneur. It tells you exactly how to get to powerful positions and how to keep them. It has become my new bible.
