The Audacity of Hope
Barack Obama

The junior U.S. senator from Illinois speaks out to all Americans on how to transform U.S. politics, calling for a return to America’s original ideals and revealing how they can be adapted to such controversial issues as globalization, the function of religion in public life, and the struggle to bring people together in a nation torn by differences. Reprint. 400,000 first printing.

Three Cups of Tea
Greg Mortenson

“It is not often that a sense of beauty and humanity creep into chronicles about so-called war zones like Afghanistan. Perhaps this is the real beauty of THREE CUPS OF TEA: Mortenson’s mission is a relentlessly positive one, and his ability to reveal the beauty and refuse to accept the brutal reality around him is an inspiring, heroic, and at times even crazy pursuit for the positive to become the norm in places that have taken their fair share of neglect.”

Liberal Fascism
Jonah Goldberg

A syndicated columnist for the National Review draws parallels between the fascism of the 1930s and the liberalism of the present, arguing that liberal politicians, from Woodrow Wilson to FDR to Hillary Clinton, have espoused policies and principles similar to those of Hitler’s National Socialism.
