Let's face it: conservatism is in crisis. The liberal media is gleefully pronouncing it dead, and President Obama and his Far-Left henchmen are doing all they can to make sure it is marginalized and silenced. But radio talk show host Mark Levin is not ready to admit defeat! In Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, he outlines a sweeping new conservative approach toward key issues including immigration, education, health care, the welfare state, the free market, and environmentalism. Above all, he issues a ringing call for a return to the true principles of Federalism and the Constitution as the Framers intended it to be -- a true conservative manifesto!

America is under attack. Our own President has launched an undeclared war that aims to extinguish the American spirit and destroy the American dream. Out of fear many have not even fought back. But now, in The War On Success: How Obama is Shattering the American Dream, Tommy Newberry stands up for all hard-working Americans -- and shows why, if Obama succeeds in his plans to impose socialism on America, every American will be the loser.

During his campaign, Barack Obama repeatedly promised to defend the little guy against the evils of corporate America. But the reality is precisely the opposite: President Obama's policies are spelling gargantuan profits for the biggest and most well-connected businesses -- at the expense of their competitors, small businesses, consumers and taxpayers. Now, in Obamanomics: How Barack Obama Is Bankrupting You And Enriching His Wall Street Friends, Corporate Lobbyists, And Union Bosses, investigative reporter Tim Carney reveals how Obama's dramatic shift towards big government is yielding huge benefits for big business and their lobbyists -- and losses for average Americans.

They did it to Dan Quayle, they did it to George W. Bush, and they've done it to numerous other conservative politicians: liberal media talking heads and late-night comedians chortle repeatedly and relentlessly over their flubs, their gaffes, their errors -- and their alleged scandals, incompetence, and stupidity. The plan is to get the whole country laughing at the victim of this tactic, so that his effectiveness on the national stage is ended, and his political career in ruins. It worked with Quayle, and severely damaged Bush. But every now and then a conservative politician emerges who is courageous and intelligent enough to defeat this nasty and brutal assault: one of them was Ronald Reagan, who trounced the liberal media in 1980 and 1984, and whose memory has long since transcended the "amiable dunce" he was portrayed as in elite media myth.

Now more than ever, the Obama-led Left in America is openly attacking the foundations of the American experiment. They believe that the government is smarter than you are, and entitled to make all your most important life decisions. They believe that real freedom isnit doing what you want to do, but doing what government lets you do. Even worse, they brook no disagreement, and enforce their hegemony through the most influential positions of power in America: the presidency, majorities in the House and Senate, activist judges, the print and broadcast media, and the academic community.

It happened so quickly: in 2008, the housing market went bust, leading to a global economic collapse. But in reality, this debacle had been a long time coming: Leftist activists, businessmen and politicians (including Bill Clinton and Barack Obama) had been laying the groundwork for the destruction of the housing market and the devastation of the American economy for decades. In Architects of Ruin, bestselling author Peter Schweizer explains how it happened -- and shows how today, the very same people who planted the seeds of the collapse are back in Washington, determined to use the crisis they caused as cover for a massive overhaul of the American economic system.

Every patriotic American needs to stand up now and take America back from President Obama, say Dick Morris and Eileen McGann -- before he fully implements his frighteningly radical political agenda. That socialist agenda, they reveal, threatens our liberty, endangers our livelihood, and jeopardizes our very safety and security. They explain why in Catastrophe: How Obama, Congress, and the Special Interests are Transforming...A Downturn into a Crash, a Recession into a Depression, and a Disaster into a CATASTROPHE…And How to Stop Them.

"My parents were not -- with respect to every other set of son-and-daughter-loving, wonderful parents in the wide, wide world -- your typical mom and dad." No, writes award- winning author and novelist Christopher Buckley, they were William F. Buckley Jr., father of the modern conservative movement, and Patricia Taylor Buckley, one of New York's most glamorous and colorful socialites -- "both of them larger-than-life people. Larger than death, too, to judge from the public outpouring and from the tears of the people who loved them and mourn them and miss them, none more than their son, even if at times I was tempted to pack them off to earlier graves. Larger-than-life people created larger- than-life-dramas." Now, in Losing Mum and Pup: A Memoir, the Buckleys' only child -- with whom their relationship was close and complicated -- tells the tragicomic true story of the single year during which both of his parents died.

There hasn't been a terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11, and Al-Qaeda is on the run in Iraq -- and yet the terrorist threat is far from over. In fact, it's more severe than ever: in our country Islamic jihad groups and their allies are concentrating not solely on terror attacks (although another one of those could come any moment), but on stealthy efforts to introduce Islamic law into this country, step-by-step and bit-by-bit -- until finally America is transformed into an Islamic state. While the stealth jihadists may never attain this goal, they are already eroding our freedoms as they demand ever more accommodation of Islamic principles and practices -- and politically correct public officials are only too happy to oblige. Now, in Stealth Jihad: How Radical Islam is Subverting America without Guns or Bombs, jihad expert Robert Spencer unveils the full scope of the stealth jihad plan, and explains how the stealth jihadists are operating and the victories they've already achieved.

It was September 1957, and the future culture warrior Bill O'Reilly had just turned eight years old. In his third-grade class at St. Brigid's School in Westbury, New York, he did his best to challenge the rule of the diminutive, intense Sister Mary Lurana -- until one day he has remembered ever since: "One day I blurted out some dumb remark, and Sister Lurana was on me like a panther. Her black habit blocked out all distractions as she leaned down, looked me in the eye, and uttered words I have never forgotten: 'William, you are a bold, fresh piece of humanity.'"

His soaring rhetoric offers "change." He promises a utopian administration of unity, bipartisanship, and compromise that will bring about this "change." In reality, however, he is a Far-Left political hack and hustler whose policies could do nothing less than destroy America as we know it. As President, Barack Obama could bring back President Jimmy Carter's rock-bottom economy of double-digit inflation and unemployment, throwing millions into poverty and ending once and for all the great sustained wave of prosperity that Ronald Reagan set in motion.

For two centuries, the men of John McCain's family were raised to go to war as officers in America's armed services. It was a family history that intimidated him as a boy; and for a time, he struggled halfheartedly against its expectations. But when his own time at war arrived, he realized how fortunate he was to have been raised in such a family. In Faith of My Fathers, the GOP presidential candidate reveals what it was like to have been the grandson and son of two of the U.S. Navy's most revered commanders -- and how this legacy of military service and courage helped prepare him for the biggest challenge of his life: his grueling years as a POW in the Hanoi Hilton.

Alexander Hamilton wrote that "the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution." If only that were true. Starting in the New Deal era, the Supreme Court has allowed breathtaking expansions of government power that significantly reduced individual rights and abandoned limited federal government as envisioned by the Founders. Now, in The Dirty Dozen: How Twelve Supreme Court Cases Radically Expanded Government and Eroded Freedom, legal experts Robert A. Levy and William Mellor use plain English -- not dense legalese -- to examine twelve U.S. Supreme Court cases that drastically changed the course of American history . . .away from constitutional government.

Three years ago, Neal Boortz and John Linder unveiled a bold, ground-breaking new plan to jump-start the U.S. economy, bring back lost industries and jobs, recapture billions of untaxed dollars hoarded by criminal and offshore businesses, and –- best of all -- to eliminate federal taxes and the IRS altogether. Their book explaining how, The FairTax Book, rocketed to the top of the New York Times Bestseller List, propelling a powerful grassroots tax reform movement that continues spreading like wildfire across our nation.

Mike Adams is a criminology professor at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. When he entered academia over a decade ago, he was an atheist and a liberal Democrat -- which means, of course, that he fit right in with his colleagues. But unlike most of them, Adams was not a shallow, unthinking conformist. Ultimately, he became a conservative -- and a forthright, outspoken one to boot.

Weapons have always been controversial -- but in the modern media age, they are equally subjects of politically-driven misinformation and plain ignorance. Over the last 20 years, for instance, military systems such as Scud, Cruise and Patriot missiles, the Uzi and AK47, phosphorus and napalm munitions, A-10 attack aircraft and 'dirty bombs' have all entered into public consciousness or media debate. Yet they have generally done so without the critical understanding of weaponry's strategic and tactical dimensions. The result is frequently a military or police frustrated by media inaccuracies, and a public misinformed. Now, Tools of Violence: Guns, Tanks and Dirty Bombs systematically demolishes the myths and exposes the reality of modern firepower in both military and civilian contexts.

There's nothing like a recession to make one appreciate the wisdom of frugality. But guess what? Cutting back on your spending (and borrowing!) doesn't have to mean getting less out of life -- and Jeff Yeager ought to know. Dubbed "The Ultimate Cheapskate" by NBC's Today Show, Yeager has always lived happily spending $40,000 a year or less -- banking the difference whenever he earned more -- and in this fresh and funny take on simple living, he lays out the practices and principles that made it possible.

Conservatives don't like to face it, but it's clear: conservatism is in deeper crisis today than it has been for decades. After seven years of a Republican administration, a majority of Americans say the country is "on the wrong track." Voters prefer Democrats to Republicans on almost every issue -- and a generation of young people has turned its back on the Republican party. David Frum, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a former special assistant and speechwriter to President George W. Bush, is one of the few conservatives and Republicans who have refused to shut their eyes to negative trends. Now, in Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again, Frum shows how Republicans have lost sight of the issues that matter most to Americans -- and formulates a positive program for a conservative resurgence.

Heroes: From Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar to Churchill and de Gaulle is the latest extraordinary book from the prolific, learned, and acclaimed conservative English historian Paul Johnson. A companion piece to Johnson's triumphant Creators: From Chaucer and Durer to Picasso and Disney, this new book offers a sweeping range of insightful, engaging profiles of a panoply of highly accomplished individuals -- men and women whose accomplishments still benefit civilized people the world over.

His early life in the dusty town of Pinpoint, Georgia, was marked by poverty and hunger. His father abandoned his family when he was one year old, leaving his teenage mother to raise him on a $10 a week maid's salary. When this became impossible to continue, she sent him, now seven, to live with her father in the comparatively big city of Savannah. This move would forever change the life of Clarence Thomas, a man who has moved from poverty and hardship to the Supreme Court, becoming one of our nation's most stalwart conservatives. In My Grandfather's Son, Thomas tells his own moving, inspiring story -- from the deprivations and humiliations of his youth to the unconscionable defamation he suffered at the hands of the Left during his hotly contested confirmation battle for the Supreme Court.

Once on the wings of the American political stage, conservatism now plays a leading role on center stage. But despite its emergence as a powerful political force, misunderstandings abound about its meaning and nature -- economically, internationally, philosophically, politically, religiously, and socially. Now, in The Future of Conservatism: Consensus and Conflict in the Post-Reagan Era some of today's most insightful conservative scholars, writers, and pundits examine the major issues that confront twenty-first century conservatism. They address such matters as Ronald Reagan's conservative character and leadership legacy; the economic, philosophical, political, religious, and social impact of conservatism on American society; divisions, tensions, and critical problems facing American conservatism; and the impact of contemporary American foreign policy on the unity of the conservative coalition. Finally, they discuss what conservatives have done right -- and wrong -- since President Reagan left office.

Tune in almost any liberal pundit and he'll tell you: there is a religion that is bent on destroying our Constitution, stripping us of our liberties, and imposing religious rule on the U.S. And that religion is ... Christianity! About Islam, however, the Left is silent -- except to say that whatever propensity to violence that "great religion of peace" may have is more than matched by Christianity. But are such assertions true? In Religion of Peace? Why Christianity Is -- and Islam Isn't, bestselling author Robert Spencer not only refutes such charges, but explains why Americans and Europeans must regain an appreciation of our Christian heritage if we can ever hope to defeat Islamic supremacism.

Daveed Gartenstein-Ross was a spiritual seeker. Raised by Jewish-born hippie-era parents in liberal Ashland, Oregon, he longed to find a religion that would ground his social consciousness in spiritual ideals. When at college in the late nineties, he met a charismatic Muslim student who seemed to have what he was looking for. Gartenstein-Ross converted to Islam, and began eagerly to learn the details of Islamic belief and practice. He didn't have any inkling of what was to come, as at that point he was convinced that "the true Islam was moderate." But at the moment of his conversion he began a descent into the bizarre world of the Islamic jihadist subculture in America - a descent he recounts in chilling detail in My Year Inside Radical Islam.

In 1989, Andrew Carroll, editor of the bestselling collection War Letters, lost everything he owned in a house fire --including all his personal correspondence. About the same time, he suffered a crisis of faith. Somehow, the two together would lead to his national "Legacy Project" in which he hoped to gather war-time letters of faith. The response was overwhelming: Letters poured in from all over the country from every major U.S. conflict, eventually totaling some 75,000. Now, in Grace Under Fire, Carroll has picked out the best of these to bring you the most intimate, dramatic, historic, and insightful letters and e-mails ever written about God, religion, and spirituality. Individually and together, they emphasize how extremely important faith has been -- and continues to be -- in the lives of U.S. troops and their families.

While non-Muslim leaders and Islamic apologists in the U.S. and Europe continue to insist that Islam is a religion of peace, every day Muslims commit more violence in the name of Islam. Now, in Religion of Peace? Islam's War Against the World, author and filmmaker Gregory M. Davis reveals why. Setting out the shocking teachings of the Qur'an and other Islamic holy books, Davis shows that the Muslims who commit violence in the name of Islam are not distorting the teachings of a great religion -in fact, they're carrying them out faithfully.

In too many English classes across America, good grammar is in bad repute. Modern "educators" view the study of grammar as an unnecessary dogma only slightly related to the skills of a writer. Far more important, they say, are such vagaries as "passion," "sincerity," and "knowing what you want to say." Baloney, responds professional writing instructor C. Edward Good. Good grammar is to good writing as good bone structure is to beauty. If you want your prose to be readable and effective, you must master the rules of grammar. In this compact yet comprehensive guide, Good explains everything you need to know -including the eight parts of speech and how to use them ... the do's and don'ts of tenses, voices, and moods ... the rules of sentence structure and punctuation ... common grammatical mistakes ... and important questions of style.

On college campuses all across our nation, on television news reports virtually every night, and even on the floor of the United States Senate, America's armed services are under relentless attack. The mainstream media and even many public officials routinely malign the Iraq war as a quagmire and our men and women in uniform as torturers. The military itself is constantly denounced as broken beyond repair, and even as a blot on the American conscience. It doesn't help that Hollywood keeps churning out antiwar films by the dozen, and the media holds up as heroes liberal anti-military agitators such as the likes of Cindy Sheehan.

They celebrate abortion on demand as a fundamental human right. They advocate euthanasia, and work energetically for embryo-killing research. They explicitly deny that all human beings are equal in having a right to life, and unblushingly propose the creation of a category of "human non-persons" who can be treated as expendable. In line with that, some of them have already begun calling for the killing of sick infants -- for their own good, of course. They are the party of death, and they are becoming increasingly powerful in America today, as well as in the world at large. Now, in The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life, National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru provides an unflinching exposé of their past successes, present activities, and future plans, showing why their principles are so harmful - and how they can be defeated before they destroy our society altogether.

Who better to expose the destructiveness of feminism than a fearless female conservative? In Women Who Make the World Worse, National Review's Kate O'Beirne takes on America's leading feminists: Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Smeal, Maureen Dowd, Kate Michelman, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and even Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw. She opposes their propagandistic Leftist emotionalism and self-important grandstanding with irrefutable evidence that the feminist movement -- including some of those very women -- has hurt women far more than it has helped them over the last forty years.

In Back in Action: An American Soldier's Story of Courage, Faith, and Fortitude, Captain David Rozelle tells the whole gripping story: from the day he said goodbye to his pregnant wife (it was Valentine's Day 2003) and deployed for Operation Iraqi Freedom, to the fateful day four months later when a land mine tore off his right foot -- and beyond, through months of agonizing rehabilitation efforts to his final triumphant recertification as "Fit for Duty."

John Kerry is a liar and a fraud, unfit to be the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces. That's not just the opinion of American conservatives: As this astonishing new book shows, most of the men who served with Kerry in Vietnam think this way. Now, in Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry, John O'Neill and Jerry Corsi explain why.

Meet the elites. They think you're stupid. They think all freedom loving Americans are stupid. They think patriotism is stupid. They think churchgoing is stupid. They think flag-flying is stupid. They despise families with more than two children. They are sure that where we live -- anywhere but near or in a few major cities -- is an insipid cultural wasteland.

Barack Obama is going to fix everything, right? That's what the liberal media keeps telling us: he's young, he's personable, he's the sum of everyone's hopes, he's the new FDR, the new Lincoln. He had nothing to do with the recession or the credit crunch or the mistakes that were made in Iraq or Afghanistan or any of the other old-regime bad things. This handsome JFK-revisited guy is going to magically sweep away all those bad things with his magic new broom. Right?

Patrick Buchanan is never one to mince words -- and in his latest trenchant analysis, he really lays it on the line. Day of Reckoning: How Ignorance, Ideology, and Greed Are Tearing America Apart is his eye-opening analysis of the forces foreign and domestic that are threatening us today in a series of crises that are more severe than any we have faced in our history.

More than half a decade after 9/11, Americans across the political spectrum still refuse to see things as they are. Most Democrats, on the one hand, deny the plain fact that we are at war for our civilization's survival. Many Republicans, on the other hand, squeamishly go along with the pretense that vague "terror" is our enemy -- rather than a murderous jihadist ideology with a clear basis in Islam teachings. Now, in Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism: A Call to Action, George Wiegel -- one of America's foremost public intellectuals -- calls on Americans of all political stripes not only to admit the truth about global jihadism -- but to start acting on it.

Andrew Ferguson picked up the paper from his stoop one morning and saw the headline "Lincoln statue stirs outrage in Richmond." "Who could object to Lincoln?" Ferguson wondered. "He seems too big even to have an opinion about. It would be like objecting to the moon." Ferguson - a senior editor of The Weekly Standard and a Lincoln buff since boyhood -- was so puzzled by this headline that eventually led him on a coast-to-coast journey through contemporary Lincoln Nation, encountering everything from hatred to adoration to opportunism and all manner of reaction in between. The result of that journey is the frequently hilarious Land of Lincoln: Adventures in Abe's America -- a travelogue, a history, a biography, and a witty commentary rolled into one highly entertaining look at our sixteenth president, who is still making headlines.

One hundred years ago, there were only eighteen tax-exempt foundations in America. Today, there are over sixteen thousand. Many do wonderful charitable work that improves our lives and strengthens our nation. But many others are bent on undermining our free enterprise system, traditional morals and national sovereignty. Now, in Foundations of Betrayal, Phil Kent reveals the shocking ways that hundreds of big, tax-exempt liberal foundations - from old-timers like the Ford and Rockefeller foundations to newcomers like George Soros - abuse their awesome tax-exempt financial power (over $500 billion in combined assets) to remold America.

We Americans are great talkers, but not often great listeners. When some dictator or terrorist threatens to end our way of life, destroy our economy, or end our influence in his region of the world, we usually find some way to ignore him or rationalize his statements. That's what we did with Osama bin Laden in his long, brazenly public buildup to 9/11 -- and it's what we risk doing again with other deadly enemies who are also making their intentions plain. Now, in In the Words of Our Enemies, bestselling author Jed Babbin (former deputy undersecretary of defense), exposes the demagogues, dictators, and death squads who openly threaten America -- with potentially devastating consequences, if we aren't alert to the danger.

Since the September 11, 2001, attacks on America, intelligence collection has become the number-one weapon in the effort to defeat al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden -- a plot penetrated is an attack stopped. And, to the outside observer, the CIA has performed well as a key partner in the Bush administration's war on terror. But as Rowan Scarborough reveals in this groundbreaking new book, significant elements within the CIA are undermining both the President and national security through leaks, false allegations -- and outright sabotage.

Few things spook normal law-abiding, job-holding Americans more than a motley bunch of left-wing protesters. It's not so much their politics that put us off -- it's their slovenly (often bizarre) dress, their bad grooming habits (or total lack of such), and most of all their obscenity-spouting anger, grim humorlessness, and smug self-importance. Just who are these foul-mouthed, foul-smelling characters clogging our streets and college campuses, protesting everything from globalization to genetically modified food to tax cuts? Now, A Field Guide To Left-Wing Wackos (and What to Do About Them), identifies and describes 18 common "species" of left-wing protesters, supplying witty definitions, vivid illustrations, identifying characteristics and behavior, "cries" (slogans), habitat, evolutionary origins, as well as thrilling (and hilarious) anecdotes of actual sightings.

Hillary Rodham Clinton has been many things, but one thing she has always been is a dedicated, unapologetic liberal - until now. In positioning herself for her 2008 presidential run, Hillary has begun to carefully put away the trappings of a liberal and wrap herself in a cloak of moderation. The Senator is now being packaged as a centrist - with the willing help of the liberal media, which has taken up her cause and castigates anyone who attempts to keep labeling her a liberal. But now, in The Extreme Makeover of Hillary (Rodham) Clinton, Bay Buchanan examines the evidence in order to determine whether it's really true: after forty years of battling for every imaginable liberal cause on earth, has Hillary Rodham Clinton really become the right-of-center politician she is presented to be today?

Letter to a Christian Nation may be the most explicitly anti-Christian book ever to become a nationwide bestseller - and these days, that's saying something. In this ignorant and hate-filled book, Sam Harris contends that most of the evils of the world can be blamed on religion - and he appeals to liberals, academics, and the media elite to wrench Christianity out of American life. Now, in Letter from a Christian Citizen, Doug Wilson provides the Christian response, in the form of a direct answer to Sam Harris himself. If you or anyone you know was confused by Harris's arguments, here is the perfect antidote.

Forty years after his death, it is impossible to escape the iconic image of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. From T- shirts to posters to Hollywood movies like The Motorcycle Diaries, he is still celebrated as a selfless, fearless martyr to the cause of "the people". But as Cuban exile Humberto Fontova reveals in this myth-shattering book, the real Che Guevara was a cold-blooded murderer who thought nothing of firing a gun into the stomach of a woman six months pregnant, whose only crime was that her family opposed him. He was also, Fontova proves, a sadistic torturer, a coward in battle, a hypocrite who lusted after material luxuries while carefully cultivating his image as a lover of the poor and oppressed. Exposing the Real Che Guevara is based on scores of interviews with the few people still alive who interacted with Che and can tell the truth about him -- including survivors of Ché's atrocities, and the CIA agent who interrogated Che just hours before the Bolivian government executed him.

There are lots of things "everybody knows" these days. "Everybody knows," for instance, that radiation is deadly, especially when food is exposed to it. "Everybody knows" that public school teachers are underpaid, and public schools underfunded. "Everybody knows" that outsourcing puts Americans out of work. The trouble is, in these and so many other cases, what "everybody knows" is flat wrong. Now, in Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity, John Stossel exposes the errors behind hundreds of media-generated myths -- and reveals that the truth is often the opposite of what we've been taught to believe. Just as important, he also reveals who benefits from the deception -- whether it's big government, greedy lawyers, or special-interest groups looking for political advantage at taxpayers' expense.

"Man is a political animal," said Aristotle. In his rollicking new book The Political Zoo, conservative talk radio giant and bestselling author Michael Savage takes him literally. In his funniest, most hard-hitting book yet, Savage brings you a riotous and blisteringly insightful series of profiles of today's most prominent politicos and pundits -- showing them as the reptiles, rats, and birds of prey that they really are.

If the Founding Fathers were alive today, what would they do about terrorism? What would they say about public expressions of religion? Would they be for or against gun control? The death penalty? "Gay rights"? Now, in What Would the Founders Do? Our Questions, Their Answers, acclaimed author and National Review senior editor Richard Brookhiser examines the founders' own words in their historical context to theorize what they would think of today's most controversial and important issues.

Strategery is the latest installment of Bill Sammon's triumphant series on the historic presidency of George W. Bush. First came Fighting Back, the riveting account of Bush's courageous handling of the tense period immediately after September 11; then there was Misunderestimated, which took the story of Bush's presidency up to the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Now Strategery picks up where Misunderestimated left off, tracing John Kerry's challenge to the President, the hard-fought and hard-won election, and the tumultuous year that followed -- in which George W. Bush would consistently (though usually without any credit at all from a virulently hostile liberal media ) outwit his foes at home and abroad.

Poll after poll shows that Americans are fed up with illegal immigration. But as things stand now, Congress and the president have no intention of doing what needs to be done to stop illegal immigrants and even terrorists from crossing freely into the United States from Canada and Mexico: securing our borders, strengthening our immigration laws, and enforcing those laws. These problems will not be solved so long as citizens leave it to Washington -- yet the situation grows more serious every day. After 9/11, do we really want to take the chance that no terrorists will try to take advantage of our porous borders? Congressman J.D. Hayworth says no. In Whatever It Takes: Illegal Immigration, Border Security and the War on Terror, he explains just how serious the problem has become, what the stakes are, and what we must do now to protect our republic from what is nothing less than an invasion.

What sort of a man wrote the Chronicles of Narnia? What knowledge, what experience, what history made a boy from Ulster who grew up to profess English literature at Oxford turn, when he was nearly fifty, to the writing of one of the most enduring classics of children's literature? In The Narnian: The Life and Imagination of C.S. Lewis, Alan Jacobs, one of the world's top Lewis experts, seeks the answer to such questions in the world of Narnia itself: "Narnia is absolutely central," writes Professor Jacobs, "more central than anything else, to understanding his character and personality. Lewis' story is in some ways revelatory of the main currents and conflicts of intellectual life in twentieth-century Europe; in other ways unique to one man's strange experience."

Bestselling author, activist, and talk show host Tammy Bruce says in The New American Revolution that it's time to take our nation back from the Leftist "Hate America First" crowd that has controlled our public discourse for four decades now. She unapologetically calls for Americans to recover pride in our own country: "It's time," she declares, "to swing back the curtains and invite the light in. And that light is American Nationalism, perennially shunned by the Left, condemned by Socialists, and without any special interest group fighting for its rebirth. It has no legitimate advocates. And yet it is the very idea that will save not only our nation, but the rest of the world as well."

The Dittohead's Guide To Adult Beverages is a hilarious compilation of "adult beverage" recipes specifically engineered for audience members of The Rush Limbaugh Show. Dittoheads across the Fruited Plain will immediately identify elements of the "Limbaugh Lexicon" and the hit radio program's trademark irreverent humor.

First published in 1923, Christianity and Liberalism was one of the first -- and, to many, still the best -- critique of liberal Christianity from an orthodox Christian perspective. Written at the height of the battle for control over the Presbyterian Church USA, Christianity and Liberalism brilliantly defines -- and definitively refutes -- the theological liberalism that manifests itself chiefly in the rejection of Scripture as infallibly inspired, the denial of the doctrines of the Fall and of Hell, and the mistaken belief in man's "evolutionary" self-perfection. Machen contrasts these errors with the basic foundational truths of Biblical Christianity on God, man, the Bible, Christ, Salvation, and the Church.

Our big problem in America, says Bernard Goldberg, is that we have become too tolerant: over the years, we've grown wonderfully broad-minded and accepting of things we should detest -- like foul language in public -- and close-minded about things we should revere -- like standards of public decency that everyone used to accept. "A slow poison is running through the veins of this great country," Goldberg observes, "and our tolerance of crap is just one small part of it. Because the stuff that comes out of the television and radio is only the most obvious evidence of how far south things have gone." In 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America (and Al Franken is #37) Goldberg (author of the #1 NY Times bestseller, Bias) fearlessly and hilariously identifies the people, famous and not-so-famous, whom he believes are most responsible for our society's decline.

Books like John Cornwell's Hitler's Pope and Garry Wills's Papal Sin (and others) have become New York Times bestsellers by arguing that Pope Pius XII was complicit in the Holocaust by failing to do enough to save the Jews from Nazi extermination. But in The Myth of Hitler's Pope, Orthodox Jewish Rabbi David Dalin explodes this newly resurrected, widely accepted, yet utterly bankrupt smearing of a pope who was, in fact, to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, "a righteous gentile."

For decades, conservatives have lamented the Left's stranglehold on the institutions of opinion and information. Liberal opinion makers have presented their views as rock-solid truth, sweeping aside ideas and beliefs they don't like as unworthy of argument -- and because they controlled the media, no one has been able to challenge them. Until now.

Lazy, lawless, and sexually immoral - that's how Northern employers and cops regarded poor Southern "rednecks" as late as the 1940s and 1950s. Many Southern blacks, Thomas Sowell explains, picked up the same habits. But while both white and black Southerners have moved up in class and affluence, Sowell notes that ghettos are still filled with "black rednecks" who have never escaped these self-destructive patterns. Why not? Their attempt to escape, as Sowell demonstrates in Black Rednecks and White Liberals, has been consistently and repeatedly hampered by white liberals. The Left, says Sowell, has turned dysfunctional "black redneck" culture into "a sacrosanct symbol of racial identity."

September 11 was more than just an act of terrorism. It inaugurated a world war -- a conflict that Democrats are still reluctant to fight. In Reckless Disregard: How Liberal Democrats Undercut Our Military, Endanger Our Soldiers, and Jeopardize Our Security, retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Buzz" Patterson shows why the Clinton administration's relative indifference to the terror threat wasn't just a product of Slick Willie's skewed sense of priorities. Patterson establishes here that disregard for our national security is epidemic among Democrats. This book is about those Democrats, about the irresponsible ways in which they turn a blind eye to American security -- and why the 2004 election may determine our very survival as a nation.

For more than a year, Dan Brown's #1 New York Times bestseller, The Da Vinci Code, has been entertaining readers with its dark tale of a conspiracy to suppress the supposed "truth" about Jesus and early Christianity -- a "truth" which the novel, on its very first page, insists is historical fact, not fiction. Among the novel's central claims: that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and had children by her.

Donald Rumsfeld, the colorful, eloquent, insightful, and energetic Defense Secretary, has become a national hero for his expert handling of the war on terror -- and the whipping boy of defeatist media jackals looking for any excuse to declare a "quagmire." Now Rumsfeld's War shows you this great man's true measure. It takes you inside Rumsfeld's Pentagon, detailing the far-sighted, courageous decisions he has made to enable our military to fight this most unconventional of wars effectively.

Fighting to send arms to Saddam, resisting post-9/11 attempts to toughen visa requirements, struggling to keep American parents from rescuing their kidnapped kids in foreign countries, doing everything it can to shut down the Iraqi democracy movement -- amazingly enough, this is the record of the U.S. State Department, an often out-of-control organization that acts at odds with our nation's best interests more often than most Americans realize.

Few contemporary Americans know that James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851), best known for his creation of Natty Bumppo and the Leatherstocking Tales, also wrote profound social criticism of the Jacksonian era. Yet, while his three political works -- Notions of the Americans, A Letter to His Countrymen, and The American Democrat -- come from a distinct era of American history, Cooper's thoughts on the Constitution, limited government, the nature and abuses of political power, and the importance of morality and religion to a democracy, remain as relevant today as they were in the 1820s and 1830s. This edition, the latest installment in the Club's Conservative Leadership Series, is the first to combine all three works -- the entirety of Letter and The American Democrat, and numerous excerpts from Notions.

Scary headlines and scarier statistics tell the story of a financial crisis on a scale not seen in decades -- certainly not within the lifetime of most Americans. Moreover, this is a worldwide financial crisis. Financial institutions on both sides of the Atlantic have either collapsed or have been saved from collapse by government bailouts, as a result of buying securities based on American housing values that eroded or evaporated. And now the finger- pointing has begun: who was really responsible? What set this off? And what must we do to keep it from happening again? In The Housing Boom and Bust, world-renowned and solidly conservative economist Thomas Sowell cuts through the PC finger-pointing and pseudo-intellectual gobbledygook to provide a plain-English explanation of what brought on the current economic disaster in the housing market.

After decades of girls’ educational coups –- they now outnumber men at American universities -- and of women rising steadily through the professional ranks, men still far outnumber women in business, physical science, law, engineering, politics -– and in the upper echelons of nearly all professions. Meanwhile, the average pay gap between the sexes that had been shrinking throughout the late ‘70s and ‘80s stalled in the ‘90s -- and is staying put. So, this is all due to discrimination, right? Wrong, says psychologist Susan Pinker in The Sexual Paradox: Men, Women and the Real Gender Gap. The real explanation is the inborn differences between men and women that influence career choices, ambition and success.

Breezy, lightheared, and sensible as ever, radio host Neal Boortz (author of the bestselling Fair Tax Book) tackles in Somebody's Gotta Say It some of the hottest issues and ideas that have been the focus of some of his most riveting shows over the years: from poverty to prayer in the schools, from race relations to religion, from abortion to gun control, from the United Nations to the war in Iraq, and from the "gay agenda" to the war against Islamic terrorism. Some of the stories are lighthearted, others are shocking, and Boortz presents still others in order to give you pause, to make you double back to your strongest opinions, ask some questions, and maybe even rethink your unexamined convictions.

In Who Really Cares: America's Charity Divide - Who Gives, Who Doesn't, and Why It Matters, Arthur C. Brooks uses hard data to prove that, when it comes to charitable giving, conservatives - especially religious conservatives - are far more generous than liberals, who seem to believe that "compassion" begins and ends with voting for government handouts.

In this unflinchingly honest and deeply inspiring book, the courageous journalist Dawn Eden explains how she gave up the shallow and unfulfilling singles jungle, and found new serenity and happiness in chastity. The Thrill of the Chaste is a frank and refreshing account of how one woman who had thoroughly imbibed the hollow and ultimately destructive values of today's me-oriented secular culture found not only new faith in Jesus Christ, but a new way of thinking and living.

In an age of celebrity worship, Help, Mom! Hollywood's in My Hamper! is a must for every kid who needs to learn that sometimes celebrities don't know best. And parents, too, will get a kick of this delightfully funny satire, which reunites the author/illustrator team responsible for the 2005 bestseller Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!

Over the past few decades, as our nation's divorce rate has skyrocketed (almost one in two first marriages now end in divorce), a divorce "happy talk" industry has sprung up to stress the alleged positive effects of divorce on all involved. But rarely do we hear about the real and lasting negative effects divorce has, especially on the approximately one million children whose parents divorce each year. Now, in Between Two Worlds: The Inner Lives of Children of Divorce, Elizabeth Marquardt draws on the findings of her own pioneering nationwide study of children of divorce to reveal, in shocking detail, how divorce dramatically warps the inner lives of children.

Consider the latest (August 2006) findings: Inventories of unsold homes rose to a 13-year high in July. Sales of existing homes plunged to a two-year low. Sales are down 11.4% in the past year. Prices have stagnated. Many experts say the housing bubble has begun to burst. Enter Wall Street Journal reporter and veteran housing expert June Fletcher, who not only predicted the coming crisis, but will help you find ways to navigate through it in her new book House Poor: Pumped Up Prices, Rising Rates, And Mortgages on Steroids: How to Survive the Coming Housing Crisis.

It's bad enough when celebrity fools like Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand, Sean Penn, and Susan Sarandon use their public pulpits to inflict their fatuous, ignorant liberalism on the rest of us. But when they do, it's easy for sensible conservatives to tune them out. Not so easy to avoid is the insidious propaganda that is now pouring out of Hollywood: politically charged films, distorted documentaries, and skewed docudramas sugarcoat the bitter pill of liberalism so that Americans will swallow it more easily. Hollywood elites are doing their best to infect Americans with liberal ideas before they even notice what's going on. But in Hollywood Nation, bestselling author and media critic James Hirsen exposes their sinister game -- and helps you to be on your guard against this subtle and often not-so-subtle brainwashing.

If the explosive information revealed in this book had been collected by the Intelligence Community, it would be classified at the highest security level, above TOP SECRET, and would never be seen by the public. But Congressman Curt Weldon (R-PA), the Vice Chairman of the House Armed Service Committee can share this information with you because he himself collected it -- and because he's trying to make the public aware of this threat that the intelligence community is ignoring before it's too late. That's why Weldon wrote Countdown to Terror. Never before has such "real time" war-related intelligence from an impeccable clandestine source been publicly disclosed.

Pornography: it's everywhere -- at the video shop, in your newspaper, in your inbox. And although American society grows increasingly accepting of this state of affairs, porn is unmistakably dangerous: it presents a warped image of sex and self-satisfaction that ridicules the values of faith and family, mangling the most sacred ideals of matrimony. In Porn Generation, Ben Shapiro explains why. This book is about a generation of Americans lost in a maelstrom of moral relativism in a culture obsessed with cheap, degraded, casual sex. It's a powerful wake-up call outlining what we must do now to eradicate this scourge and reclaim the values that made America great.

In Bill Clinton's memoir, My Life -- at 950 pages roughly the length of War and Peace -- he told us all about himself and the people who affected him. Glaringly absent was any mention of the women whose lives he changed forever by his sexual depredations and subsequent efforts to silence, harass and intimidate. Now, in Their Lives, seven of these women help author Candice E. Jackson supply these "missing chapters" from Slick Willie's autobiography. Relying on extensive research and firsthand interviews, Jackson documents how the former president and his inner circle -- including wife Hillary -- wielded their vast power to discredit and destroy the former objects of his desire.

In the days after Sept. 11, a portrait of the attackers emerged with remarkable speed. In the frantic effort to comprehend their monstrous act, it was assumed that they must have been born killers and brilliant fanatics. But this, reveals Los Angeles Times reporter Terry McDermott, was based on "initial information that was either factually wrong or, more commonly, irrelevant and misconstrued." In reality, most of the 19 hijackers came from apolitical and only moderately religious backgrounds. As they matured, however, they were shaped by historical tides and personal circumstances, evolving into devout, pious Muslims who debated endlessly about how best to fulfill what they came to regard as their religious obligations. Now, In Perfect Soldiers: The Hijackers -- Who They Were, Why They Did It, McDermott traces these men's lives and the evolution of their beliefs, telling a disturbing story about the power of Islam to turn men into fanatical killers.

After winning an unlikely run for the California governor's office, stealing the show at the 2004 GOP Convention, and successfully challenging the entrenched powers that have brought the state of California to the brink of fiscal collapse, Arnold Schwarzenegger has already established himself as one of the notable political figures of the 21st century. This feat followed accomplishments just as impressive: a native of Austria with a heavy accent, he became the most successful bodybuilder in history, and (for a time) the biggest movie star in the world. Now, in Fantastic, bestselling author Laurence Leamer has produced the definitive biography of Arnold Schwarzenegger, telling the story of an immigrant of meager beginnings who seized the American dream beyond anyone's wildest expectations.

It's customary at Harvard: law school students post their class outlines for the previous year on the school website. But in 2002, when Kiwi Camara, a Filipino-American studying law at Harvard, posted his notes, he unwittingly ignited a controversy that shook Harvard to its foundations - and exposed a politically correct establishment determined to snuff out freedom of speech and basic constitutional liberties.

Here is a fearless and scathingly revealing guide to the smug Leftist meddlers in politics, the media establishment, and Hollywood who think they know what's best for the poor and other needy Americans - and are willing to cause societal havoc to put their witless theories into practice. From Marian Wright Edelman to John Kerry, from Hillary Rodham Clinton to Rob Reiner, Mona Charen skewers them and their cockamamie ideas in Do-Gooders: How Liberals Hurt Those They Claim to Help (And the Rest of Us).

Democrats like John Kerry want to give Kofi Annan and the United Nations authority over American foreign policy. In this appalling new expose, Dore Gold (who served as Israel's UN ambassador from 1997 through 1999) shows why that's one of the worst -- and most dangerous -- ever advanced by an American presidential candidate. Tower of Babble: How the United Nations Has Fueled Global Chaos provides conclusive proof that it is absurd to look to the UN to fight aggression, combat terrorism, and preserve global order.

The Nobel Prize is just the beginning: Jimmy Carter is enjoying a new day in the sun, with left-wing historians taking a "fresh look" at his disastrous presidency and trying to bamboozle Americans into thinking that it was actually successful. This ongoing Saint Jimmy campaign would be laughable if it weren't part of a larger strategy to whitewash the records of failed Democrats and justify Carter's outsize influence on today's Democratic party. Although the voters decisively dispatched Jimmy Carter in 1980, his legacy lives on in potent form today and is likely to survive his death. But now in The Real Jimmy Carter Steven F. Hayward demolishes the Carter myth once and for all.

When he was tapped to accompany President Clinton and carry the nuclear "football" that contains the top-secret codes the President needs in case of nuclear war, Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Buzz" Patterson was proud and grateful. He had already put his life on the line for his country many times as he flew combat missions over the Persian Gulf and Bosnia, and he was honored to take on this new and awesome responsibility.

Waco in flames. Five-year-old Elian Gonzalez captured at gunpoint and returned to Communist tyranny. Chinese Communists funding the Democratic Party's campaign efforts. Whistle-blowers and investigators smeared, hounded, slandered, and politically destroyed. The use of lawsuits to hound enemies and advance political agendas.

George W. Bush is widely considered -- by liberals -- to be one of the most politically conservative presidents in history. But many on the right have a different perspective. Among the latter are Bruce Bartlett, a highly respected Republican economist and an alumnus of the Reagan White House, who in 2000 was an eager supporter of George W. Bush (and even helped to craft the President's early tax cuts) but has since become disillusioned by his big-spending, government-expanding ways. Now, in Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy, Bartlett attacks the Bush administration's economic performance root and branch -- showing how Bush has made no effort to restrain the growth of government, greatly increased domestic spending, created a new entitlement program for prescription drugs, failed to veto a single bill, and expanded both the size and scope of government in many ways quite apart from national defense and homeland security. Bartlett also explains why the Bush policies will have serious economic consequences for the country - and possibly fatal political consequences for the GOP.

Turn on the TV at any given moment, and you're likely to see some earnest media "expert" telling you confidently that America faces a serious threat from suitcase nukes, that Al-Qaeda terrorists are streaming across the Mexican border, that there was no link between Al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, and that Iraq is another Vietnam. There's just one problem with all this: none of it is true. Richard Miniter explains why these and other popular media factoids and urban legends are not only wrong, but severely damaging to our war effort, in Disinformation: The 22 Media Myths That Undermine the War on Terror.

The Boy Scouts of America are in the crosshairs of some of the wealthiest, most litigious and powerful opponents in America. Their goal is simple: to force this venerable organization to abandon its long-standing commitment to faith in God and traditional values. Now, in Get Off My Honor: The Assault on the Boy Scouts of America, conservative activist and former Eagle Scout Hans Zieger analyzes a half-century of events leading up to the present struggle for the soul of the Boy Scouts -- and reveals the radically pro-homosexual and anti-Christian agenda behind the attacks.

If ideas have consequences, then it follows that bad ideas have bad consequences. And if bad ideas are written down in books, they are far more durable, infecting generation after generation and increasing the world's wretchedness. That's why we'd all be better off today if the books in Professor Benjamin Wiker's Ten Books That Screwed Up the World (and Five Others That Didn't Help) had never been written. From Machiavelli's The Prince to Karl Marx's The Communist Manifesto to Alfred Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, these are the books whose impact has been felt chiefly in the form of war, genocide, totalitarian oppression, family breakdown, and disastrous social experiments.

A relentlessly hostile mainstream media, predicting imminent electoral doom for Republicans. An Al-Qaeda operating freely in Iraq, remaining one step ahead of U.S. forces and plotting mayhem on a grand scale. And in the White House, a man of faith and prayer -- along with a depth and vision that few of his detractors were willing to admit he had. The Evangelical President is the story of that man: George W. Bush.

"The truth," says Ann Coulter, "cannot be delivered with novocaine." In her latest blockbuster, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans, she wallops Democrats with a full dose of unvarnished, unadulterated reality -- as only Coulter can deliver it. Witty, sharp-tongued, outrageous, and always faithfully conservative, here is Ann at her best, running circles around liberal pundits, pols and Leftist wackos before they even know what has hit them.

After dealing Darwinism a devastating blow with his explosive first book, Darwin's Black Box (which explained why Darwinism was utterly unable to explain the complex machinery of the cell), Michael Behe finishes off evolutionary theory in The Edge of Evolution: The Search for the Limits of Darwinism. In this tour de force of evidence and logic, Behe deals nothing less than a death-blow to Darwinism! He draws on the most extensive and detailed genetic studies available in order to subject Darwin's theory to rigorous testing - and in the process, Behe proves that life does develop, but not in the way Darwin thought it did.

"God is dead" -- or so scientists used to tell you. For decades, religion and science have been regarded as mutually incompatible. But little by little, that is changing -- as the data that scientists collect about physics, biochemistry, genetics, information theory, and neuroscience contains ever more compelling evidence that only a Designer could have made life possible. In By Design: Science and the Search for God, prize-winning science writer Larry Witham tells the whole fascinating story.

Stem cells. Cloning. The human genome project. Bioethics issues increasingly dominate the news. All too often, conservatives find themselves bewildered by the tangle of ethical issues involved and speechless before the media elite's pro-biotechnology onslaught. But now Leon Kass's Life, Liberty and the Defense of Dignity: The Challenge for Bioethics gives you the information you need to fight back in defense of life.

War Letters is an unforgettable collection of deeply personal letters from those who fought America's wars -- from the Civil War to Bosnia. These 200 letters give you riveting, previously unpublished accounts of Gettysburg, Meuse-Argonne, Pearl Harbor, D-Day, Khe Sanh, Desert Storm, Somalia, and more -- all written as these world-changing events were unfolding.

What's behind the declining poll numbers and electoral fortunes of the Republican Party? Failure to focus on the needs of working-class voters, argue two of the Right's rising young thinkers. Not that the Democrats hold the answers -- they don't. But the broad populist appeal that drew millions of "Reagan Democrats" across party lines in 1980 and '84, and that eventually swept the GOP to majorities in both the House and Senate, has all but evaporated. Now, in Grand New Party: How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream, Ross Douthat and Reihan Salam show why -- and how -- the road back to majority status for the GOP will be paved with working-class votes.

Robert Novak has been embroiled for several years now in the Valerie Plame CIA leak scandal, but decades before anyone had ever heard of Plame, Novak had established himself as one of the leading political reporters in America -- and among those most likely to spark controversy. Now, in this massive, brutally honest and gripping memoir, Novak tells all not only about his role in the Plame affair, but about his decades of revealing encounters with some of the most powerful people in the world. In The Prince of Darkness: 50 Years of Reporting in Washington, Novak tells the whole captivating story of his remarkable life and career. Novak offers an adventure-packed half-century of stories, scandals, and personal encounters with Washington's most powerful and colorful people.

The literature on dying is filled with talk of anger and forgiveness, peace and acceptance -- but nowhere has anyone written about the spirit of happiness and holiness that John Fanestil sometimes witnessed in his work as a pastor. Then one day, in a seminary library, Fanestil chanced upon some stories of "happy deaths" from the 18th and 19th centuries. He was particularly struck with an account, based on a private journal, of a young woman identified as "Mrs. Hunter" who died in London from an unidentified illness at age 26. "That day in the library, I found in the language of a bygone generation the same spirit I had witnessed" in the dying people to whom he had ministered. Now, in Mrs. Hunter's Happy Death: Lessons on Living from People Preparing to Die, Pastor Fanestil revives this lost wisdom about "happy dying".

Many orthodox Catholics are under the impression that Church teaching requires them to reject free enterprise and favor an array of interventions in the marketplace. Not so, argues Thomas E. Woods in this principled and unapologetic defense of the free market from a Catholic perspective.

Already tired of the leftwing media spin on the 2008 elections? Had enough of Democratic talking heads hyping tax increases and the global warming scare? Looking for an island of straight-talking sanity in today’s swamp of multi-culti liberal gibberish? Look no further. Mark Smith continues his crusade against the lunatic Left with this new edition of The Official Handbook of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy. Right on time for the 2008 elections, this book shows you how to shoot down the latest liberal rants for bigger government, a cowardly foreign policy, and depraved social values.

Conservatives have good reason to be fed up. Wherever we look, in every sector of our economy and every level of our government and politics, it's obvious that the prevailing policies are deliberately designed to benefit an elite few at the expense of the rest of us. It's time to transform our democracy back into what it was intended to be: no longer a government of the pampered congressmen, paid for by the lobbyists who pervert the process for the benefit of greedy special interests, but a government truly of the people, by the people, and for the people. In Outrage: How Liberals, Congress, Unions, Drug Companies, Big Oil, Banks, Lobbyists, Corporations, the United Nations, the World Bank, the INS, the TSA, and the Democratic Party Are Ripping Us Off...and What to Do About It, Dick Morris and Eileen McGann show just how bad things have gotten -- and outline a way to bring the American public square back to what it should be.

In 1966, Ronald Reagan’s astounding million-vote victory in the California gubernatorial race against incumbent Pat Brown caught the liberal establishment by surprise. The entrenched Democratic party, which viewed Reagan with disdain, had mistakenly considered him more an annoyance than a political threat. Just how did conservatism deliver such a crushing blow to liberalism?

The secular Left's relentless effort to drive God out of America's public square is not only destructive -it is deeply dishonest. All it takes to see just how important religion was to our nation's Founders -and to generations of their successors -is to take a stroll around Washington, DC. That's exactly what former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich does in Rediscovering God in America: Reflections on the Role of Faith in Our Nation's History and Future. This "Walking Tour" of the significant monuments, memorials, artifacts and documents in our nation's capital serves as a rebuttal to those who seek to write God out of American history.

American politics has never been a sport for gentlemen -- in Smear Tactics, conservative pundit Brad Miner proves that even some of our most revered Founding Fathers were no strangers to negative attacks on their opponents, rumor-mongering, and worse. Yet today, slander, insult, and character assassination have moved out of the gutter and into the mainstream, courtesy of the American Left. Tracing the history of the political smear from the early days of our nation right up to the 2006 midterm elections, Miner shows that the Left is increasingly relying on smears rather than substance, and defamation rather than discussion.

Every nation has its founding myth. For China, it is the Long March -- the heroic tale that every Chinese child learns in school. In 1934, the legend goes, the fledgling Communist Party and its Red Armies, some two hundred thousand strong, were driven out of their bases in the South by Chiang Kai-Shek. Led by Mao Zedong, the Communists set off on a strategic retreat to the distant barren north of China, thousands of miles away. Only one in five Marchers reached their destination, where they gathered strength and returned to launch the new China in the heat of revolution. But how does this all stand up to reality? In 2004, Sun Shuyan - who was born in China and raised with the myth -- retraced the Long March to discover the facts behind the legend. Now, in The Long March: The True History of Communist China's Founding Myth, she reveals her often shocking findings.

Who brought down the Soviet Union? According to liberals, it collapsed of its own, with an assist from the reform-minded Mikhail Gorbachev. But this explanation not only scants the role of Western anti-communists - it implies they had exaggerated its dangers all along. Now, John O'Sullivan gives credit where it's due. The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister is a sweeping, dramatic account of how President Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher together took on the most powerful and aggressive foe that liberty has ever known -- and won.

No one can fully appreciate the great good fortune we have to be Americans without knowing the events that brought us to where we are today. Unfortunately, fewer and fewer children are leaving school knowing the basic chronology of American history. One study, for instance, found that two thirds of seventeen-year-olds could not identify the half century in which the Civil War occurred. Now, bestselling children's author and historian Lynne Cheney (wife of Vice President Dick Cheney), provides a remedy: in A Time for Freedom: What Happened When in America, Mrs. Cheney takes young readers through a fascinating, illustrated timeline of key events in our history -- along with historic quotations by great Americans and little-known facts about our country.

A generation ago Americans undertook a revolutionary experiment to redefine marriage. Where historically men and women had sought a permanent bond centered on the rearing of children,the new arrangement called for a provisional union of two adults centered on themselves. Now,as Kay Hymowitz argues in Marriage and Caste in America,the results of this experiment separating marriage from child-rearing are in,and they turn out to be bad news not only for children but also,in ways little understood,for the country as a whole -- playing a central role in high rates of poverty,crime,and other social pathologies.

This inspiring collection of letters from American soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan helps bridge the divide between those who are in (or who have family members in) the military, and the rest of us. From the father writing his last letter home to his two-year-old daughter, to the reservist chaplain trying to make sense of it all for his family and flock, to the Lieutenant Colonel escorting the remains of a fellow Marine across America, Voices from the Front puts us on the ground with those Americans who are risking their lives for our country every day.

In Bankrupt, David Limbaugh indicts today's Democrats using their own words. This meticulously documented book reveals just how far the Democratic party has fallen, and shows why there is little promise of redemption in sight.

Cuba, close to America and frequently in our news, is a country hidden under a beard and cigar. At times, there are flashes -- the Mariel boatlift, the Elián González dispute, people who take to the sea in rafts -- when reality breaks through. Mostly, however, Americans do not fully understand what it means to live under a one-man dictatorship.

As usual, Ann Coulter gets right to the point. "Liberals have a preternatural gift for striking a position on the side of treason," she begins this book. "You could be talking about Scrabble and they would instantly leap to the anti-American position. Everyone says liberals love America, too. No they don't. Whenever the nation is under attack, from within or without, liberals side with the enemy. This is their essence."

In this fascinating work, historian John Julian Norwich examines how nine of Shakespeare’s plays merged actual fact and poetic license. Norwich’s entrancing conclusions will likely keep historians (and Shakespeare buffs) up late at night. As the Kirkus reviewer explains, Norwich “uses his immense knowledge of English and European history to illuminate the historical background of the plays and to offer an intriguing look at England in the years of Shakespeare’s writing. Norwich’s analysis of Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, and Richard III emphasizes factors Shakespeare added for dramatic effect and his equally strategic omissions.”

One man was the father of his country. The other's name has become synonymous with treason. But in fact, they lived remarkably parallel lives -- with one crucial difference. During Bill Clinton's depraved and hedonistic Presidency, the Leftist media establishment bleated daily that character didn't matter, and certainly wasn't essential for effective leadership. But conservatives always knew that wasn't true - and now comes a book that proves it in an unusual and provocative way: George Washington and Benedict Arnold: A Tale of Two Patriots by military historian and former Superintendent of West Point General Dave R. Palmer.

Fighting dirty is nothing new for liberals. But recently, writes conservative commentator Ann Coulter, things have gotten worse. Now, it seems, there's no limit to what leading liberals in politics and the media will say to discredit -- even destroy -- their conservative opponents. Result? "The spirit of the First Amendment has been effectively repealed for conservative speech."

She has been threatened, ridiculed, smeared and vilified in the liberal media -- but beauty queen Carrie Prejean is still holding her head high. Now, in Still Standing, Prejean tells her side of the tumultuous story of how a beauty pageant contestant became nationally notorious, a villain of the amoral Left, and a hero of those who have faith in God and sound moral values -- which are more valuable than any earthly crown.

Who's Looking Out for You? is the latest dose of common sense and plain speaking from Bill O'Reilly, the vigorous, straight-shooting host of Fox's wildly popular O'Reilly Factor. O'Reilly presents an inspiring defense of the traditional family and scathing critiques of today's materialistic consumer culture, the perils of big government, the damage that the media establishment is doing to our nation's children, and much more.

She's the author of three New York Times bestsellers: Slander, Treason, and High Crimes and Misdemeanors. She's the most high-profile and controversial conservative intellectual on the scene today. Yet most publications find her too hot to handle. Her syndicated column, although brimming with her trademark wit and incisive political observations, appears in only a handful of papers. But now, in How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), Coulter collects the best of those columns, including some that no one dared to print before.

. . . full of old-fashioned fun and friendship and virtue. No wonder that for 60 years young girls have been reading and rereading these four delightful Betsy-Tacy stories. Now your daughters can do the same. But don’t forget yourself. Did you miss these way back when? Is it time to revive some old memories? Reading these stories aloud to your girls could be the perfect way. In fact, that’s how the series got started.

Freddy is an enterprising pig: in Walter Brooks's much-beloved series of children's books, he becomes by turns a cowboy, a politician, a publisher, a poet, a magician, a banker, a pilot, and a detective. In this handsome reprint of a favorite from the series, he adds international travel agent to his resumé as he leads a troupe of animals from Mr. Bean's farm to the North Pole.

Ever since Walter R. Brooks created Freddy back in 1927, this resourceful pig has been beloved by kids and parents alike. In Brooks' series of wry and winsome adventures, Freddy assumes an amazing number of vocations and avocations, leads his band of talking animals through marvelous adventures, and always provides hours of good fun for young readers

Ten years from now when we look back on the administration of Bill Clinton, we’ll remember Monica Lewinsky, the President’s unctuous lies, and how the Democrats in Congress trampled on the Constitution and the rule of law to save their man’s skin. But in “Feeling Your Pain”: The Explosion and Abuse of Government Power in the Clinton-Gore Years, James Bovard says that Monica isn’t even the worst of it. Much more ominous is the explosion of government power that Bill, Hillary, and Al Gore have overseen and fueled.

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, many attempts at explanation have been made -- but few if any have matched the analytical depth and original displayed by English philosopher and cultural commentator Roger Scruton. In The West and the Rest: Globalization and the Terrorist Threat, Scruton argues that to comprehend and combat Islamic terrorism, one must understand both the unique historical evolution of the state and the dynamic of globalization. Some highlights of his argument:

Here is a social history of the United States from 1960 to 2005, as reflected in a remarkable series of letters written by the brilliant conservative thinker Thomas Sowell during this controversial and tumultuous period in our nation's history. A Man of Letters features letters Thomas Sowell filled with social commentary and reflections on controversial issues - and addressed to family, friends, and public figures including Milton Friedman, Clarence Thomas, David Riesman, Arthur Ashe, William Proxmire, Vernon Jordan, Charles Murray, Shelby Steele, and Condoleezza Rice.

So says Peter Hitchens, who in the last three decades has seen the England of his youth vanish without a trace — only to be replaced by Tony Blair’s “Cool Britannia,” an internationalist welfare state brimming with ignorance and contempt for the glories of British civilization. In Abolition of Britain,details how it happened; in doing so, he reveals the Left’s full agenda for the United States.

Robert Nisbet, a conservative sociologist who lived from 1913 to 1996, anticipated by almost 50 years what is currently being said by academics and politicians who bemoan the demise of community. Now Brad Lowell Stone, a leading authority on Nisbet’s life and work, offers a close and clear exposition of his worldview, as well as a systematic survey of his contributions to the conservative movement. Nisbet’s writings, says Stone, “are an excellent place to start when persons are serious about the truths of our social world and when they seek guidance as to how they might better it.”

In this handy guide you’ll find all you need to know to make a scientific expedition to the beach (or to a rocky shore, a salt marsh, and more).

Fyodor Dostoevsky is one of the greatest literary figures of all time. Dostoevsky's intense struggle with the question of God is presented in the famous “Legend of the Grand Inquisitor” in The Brothers Karamazov. In this unparalleled interpretation of the Grand Inquisitor, Ellis Sandoz combines literary criticism with political philosophy to place Dostoevsky squarely in the context of his day and culture as a religious thinker. Dostoevsky has often been regarded as a prophet foretelling the rise of totalitarian socialism in Russia, but his political vision had deep spiritual roots. His recognition that atheistic materialism had gripped the mind of modern man moved him to craft a fiction that resisted the secularization of existence.

Even before the presidential election of 2000 was resolved, numerous intellectuals, politicians, and journalists were calling for the abolition of the Electoral College. But is it really an outmoded and undemocratic institution? The writers assembled for this volume show why it would be folly to abolish the Electoral College by explaining its role in providing a measure of stability and sanity to our electoral and party systems:

Bulldog Drummond features a World War I army officer who finds himself bored by peace and so goes out to smash various criminal gangs often led by communist undesirables.

Today's energy crisis -- with oil and gas prices skyrocketing, electricity costs rising, and the whole economy teetering on the edge of disaster as a result -- is artificial. And it's also avoidable, as is the dangerous national security crisis to which the energy crisis has led. As Newt Gingrich and Vince Haley show in Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less: A Handbook for Slashing Gas Prices and Solving Our Energy Crisis, America is gifted with enormous reserves of energy -- we need not be paying four dollars a gallon for gas and wondering how soon it will be before we're paying ten dollars a gallon, and we need not continue to be vulnerable to unreliable and potentially hostile countries.

More than anyone except Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Robert Conquest is the man who exposed the horrors of communism. Conquest, in fact, began his work before anyone in the free world had ever heard of Solzhenitsyn. In this book he draws on the insights of his long and great career to give us a grand synthesis of our century as seen through its rogue and brutally savage ideologies. How and why did these "disastrous mental distortions" arise? Can they be prevented in the future? A deft fusion of literature and history, philosophy and prediction, here's the wisdom of the man Paul Johnson calls "our greatest living modern historian."

Many, perhaps most, conservatives point to the 1960s as the period that opened the floodgates to the countless social plagues that threaten to drown us. Not so, says David Frum. The '60s were but a shadow of what was to come. In 1969, he notes, America still valued faith, self-reliance, self-sacrifice, and family loyalty. Then came the 1970s, the decade that truly reinvented America. Now, in this first ever popular history of that era by a prominent conservative, Frum, contributing editor to The Weekly Standard, lays bare the nation's most stark social upheaval since the Industrial Revolution.

That's what E. Michael Jones says in his strikingly original and insightful book, Monsters from the Id: The Rise of Horror in Fiction and Film. Jones demonstrates that the horror flicks that litter the American cultural landscape aren't just market-driven trash. Instead, they express much-denied truths about human nature and morality —- often quite apart from the intentions of their creators.

Just two weeks before the end of World War II in Europe, twenty-one-year-old Bob Dole's life changed forever. As a platoon leader in the famed 10th Mountain Division, he was gravely wounded while trying to pull his radioman to safety on a hill in the Italian Alps. For the next three years, this future Senate Majority Leader and Presidential candidate was not expected to survive: he lapsed in and out of a coma, lost a kidney, and lost the use of his right arm and most of the feeling in his left arm. But Bob Dole, American patriot, never lost the will to live, and fought through it all. In One Soldier's Story: A Memoir, he tells the whole moving and inspirational story.

As Islamic terrorists took advantage of lax immigration policies to embed themselves deeply into American society and operate beneath law-enforcement radar, what was the liberal press doing? Just what you'd expect: spiking negative stories about immigration and pooh-poohing the threat posed by America's all-but nonexistent border controls - in a relentless quest to promote multiculturalism and diversity.
