| 1. |  | Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama's Plan to Renew America's Promise
from Three Rivers Press
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
You'll also notice that a majority of the specific proposals in the book carry a price tag, as the book takes the approach, "Let's set the sea on fire, y'all work out the details." I'm not even sure an omnipotent deity could accomplish a quarter of what the Obamanon advocates. What's that other... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 2. |  | Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America
from Scribner
Price: $24.75
Customer Review:
Graceful, witty and fascinating, dense with a compelling choice of facts and narratives. It's a timely, probably classic history book. Meanwhile its parade of well-chosen anecdotes would make for quite the hilarious movie.
It's astonishing how many operatives mentioned in this book returned to... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 3. |  | Where Have All the Leaders Gone?
from Scribner
Price: $17.75
Customer Review:
I am only part way through the book but just had to write a comment about how great it is. Mr Iacocca is right -- we should be mad and we should stand up and take action -- immediately. Another great book that really prompts each of us to become leaders and to stop following is Seth Godin's newest... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Henry Holt and Co.
Price: $16.50
Customer Review:
I was very involved in this campaign and was present at the Ambassador Hotel on June 4th. We saw the Senator in various motorcades in Los Angeles and many of us worried about his availability and the people's access to him.
This book brought me back - it helped get me passed the end of the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Don't waste your time or money. I have heard better analysis about national politics from high school extemp speakers than what is contained in this book.
Hopefully Obama has better advisers than this writer. | 4.0 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72
from Grand Central Publishing
Price: $10.87
Customer Review:
I am fascinated by elections and campaigns, and the election of 1972 was especially interesting, and there is much to learn from it as many of the events in 1972 seemed to repeat themselves in 2004 and 2008. In 1972 and 2004, we were involved in a war that was beginning to lose support, scandals had... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Often taught along side Frederick Douglass's Narritive of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Jacobs' Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl offers an important incite into the abuses that female slaves faced. While Douglass's narrative stresses house slavery emasculated male slaves,... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

I found the book useful but I knew most of the information already. It is a good read for someone that gets all their news from the biased mainstream news media. | 4.0 / 5.0
