By: Steven T. Wax
“Our government can make you disappear.” Those were the words Steven Wax, the Federal Public Defender for the District of Oregon, never imagined he would hear himself say. In his twenty-nine years as a public defender, Wax had never had to warn a client that he or she might be taken away to a military brig, or worse, a “black site,” one of our country’s dreaded secret prisons. How had our country come to this? The disappearance of people happens in places ruled by tyrants, military juntas, fascist strongmen --- governments with such contempt for the rule of law that they strip their citizens of all rights. But in America?

by Vincent Bugliosi
In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder Vincent Bugliosi presents a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of nearly 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. A searing indictment of the President and his administration, which outlines a legally credible pathway to holding our highest government officials accountable for their actions, thereby creating a framework for future occupants of the oval office. Vincent Bugliosi calls for the United States of America to return to the great nation it once was and can be again. He believes the first step to achieving this goal is to bring those responsible for the war in Iraq to justice.

By: Peter Navarro
“In this comprehensive examination of China’s mushrooming economy, Navarro masterfully illuminates the dark sides of China’s great leaps into privatization and globalization.” Discover how to protect yourself (or your business) from the defective and sometimes lethal products pouring out of China’s factories...how China’s enormous trade surplus threatens to “nuke” the U.S. economy...how China’s accelerating military buildup and secret Star Wars program is sharply tipping the global strategic balance... From exploding cell phone batteries, bacteria–ridden tofu, and catfish loaded to the gills with banned antibiotics, virtually nothing coming out of today’s China should be considered safe. This chapter shows you just why this is so, just what kind of products you should fear most, and why, as Senator Dick Durbin has aptly noted, “Made in China” has become a code red “warning label” that no sensible consumer should ignore.

By: Douglas E. Schoen
The American people’s confidence in our government is gone. Only 25% of Americans are satisfied with the state of their country. We are growing alienated from the Democratic and Republican parties, which are dominated by ideologues who offer simplistic solutions. The electorate thinks America has gone in the wrong direction. Both President Bush and Congress are at close to record-low levels of popular approval. Large portions of the American people do not think the political system can be fixed. The two major parties are unpopular and the electorate is polarized, as they have come to believe that neither side is willing or able to address important issues. The voters want change."
