TWO NEW BOOKS IN WHICH YOU MAY BE INTERESTED

A critical biography of Pres. Geo. H.W. Bush:

“Rarely in the history of the United States has the nation been so ill-served as during the presidency of George W. Bush,” Smith writes in the first sentence of the preface. And then he gets harsh."  Smith rejects claims that Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove and others were responsible for the debacles.


A historical and unflattering story of the Olympics (The DarkSide):
