| 1. Assault on the Left: The FBI and the Sixties Antiwar Movement | 
|
By: James Kirkpatrick Davis
Publisher: Praeger Trade
April 30, 1997
The New Left movement was founded in 1962 with the idea of organizing a massive protest against the Vietnam War. Historians have written extensively about the movement and its crusade to expose the American people about how the war became a quagmire with no end in sight. However, little is known about the federal government's reaction against the New Left, particularly the Federal Bureau of Investigation... more

By: Samuel W. Mitcham Jr.

This book covers the Normandy landing and subsequent breakout and race toward the Rhine. It is the prequel to the author's "The German Defeat in the East". If you have read one you'll be familiar with the other for the styles are similar. Its an overview that starts at Normandy and ends with the completion of Operation Market-Garden. Thats another thing the books have in common; they end at odd times... more

|
By: Dennis Piszkiewicz
Publisher: Praeger Trade
September 30, 1995
Operation Paperclip allowed top Nazi scientist and engineers who were clearly involved in death camp "use of labor" and members of the Nazi party to immigrate to the US. At the time the US State Department opposed and strongly disapproved of the policy but eventually these "spaceflight scientists and Engineers" where relocated and made US Citizens by the assistance of Operation Paperclip and the US... more

| 4. Abused Men: The Hidden Side of Domestic Violence | 
|
By: Philip W. Cook
Publisher: Praeger Trade
September 30, 1997
At last, a book on domestic violence that gets past the veil of feminist fact-filtering and pseudo-equality to present the well-documented truth behind this hidden social disease. Well-written and factive, this is a book that's already making waves in terms of reassessing our current misunderstanding of domestic violence, distorted as it is by the western world's Gender Taliban. Male abuse is not a... more

| 5. Defy the Darkness: A Tale of Courage in the Shadow of Mengele | 
|
By: Joe Rosenblum, David Kohn
Publisher: Praeger Trade
November 15, 2000
This is great primary source material about the Holocaust in general and Auschwitz and Josef Mengele in particular. This is definately not for the faint of heart, as the subject matter is horrific. But it is well written and will add to knowledge of the subject of the Holocaust... more

| 6. Deep Space and Sacred Time: Star Trek in the American Mythos |
|
By: Jon Wagner, Jan Lundeen
Publisher: Praeger Trade
November 01, 1998
I decided to read this book mostly because of the title -- as a Trekker who is also Jewish, I was interested to see what these authors had to say about "sacred time," because, as Abraham Joshua Heschel said, we Jews live more in sacred time than in sacred places. So, any book with "sacred time" in the title is bound to catch my eye.
As it turned out, their definition of "sacred time"... more

| 7. Drug Warriors and Their Prey: From Police Power to Police State |
|
By: Richard Lawrence Miller
Publisher: Praeger Trade
February 28, 1996
It's difficult to read because every single page assaults the reader with infuriating facts about how the Drug War has been used to gradually strip citizens of their individual liberties by criminalizing normal human behavior and empowering law enforcement to violate many parts of the Bill of Rights, only because the public hysteria generated by patently false drug propaganda has demonized a certain... more

| 8. Zero Fighter | 
|
By: Akira Yoshimura
Publisher: Praeger Trade
March 30, 1996
The first 1/2 of the book is nice, talks about how the concept of the Zero began and the difficulties of the development. And this is penned by the man who designed the Zero from scratch so it's a very relevant and important book to those who are interested in this fighter.
However, it's not enough, because the Zero went though a lot of changes during the war, and none of that is talked... more

| 9. Hyperculture: The Human Cost of Speed |
|
By: Stephen Bertman
Publisher: Praeger Trade
April 30, 1998
In many ways, this book brings sadly shocking problems with our modern society to the table. From the individual to relationships, from politics to business, the book is full of information on the culture of "Now." If you've noticed people obsessed with getting things done quickly and find yourself doing the same, then this book is for you.
As we rapidly become a society of massive consumerism... more

| 10. Pharmacracy: Medicine and Politics in America |
|
By: Thomas Szasz
Publisher: Praeger Trade
2001-07
I have read much that is enlightening by Thomas Szasz's iconoclastic approach to the politics of medicine and the medical profession more generally. Arguably, as a critic he remains the voice of the lone wolf in a sea of medical professional lemmings. In particular, he is psychiatry's, worse nightmare. Yet here in his introduction, even though he is still far from one of the medical profession's lemmings... more
