Cop Killer: How Mumia Abu-Jamal Conned Millions into Believing He was Framed
(paperback): only $3.50!
by Daniel J. Flynn
"Cop Killer: How Mumia Abu-Jamal Conned Millions Into Believing He Was Framed is an Accuracy in Academia monograph that I’ve just published.... Although the 38-page booklet contains more than 100 citations, don’t look for it to be used in any of the many campus “teach-ins” devoted to the subject or to be required reading in classes devoted to promoting Mr. Abu-Jamal. This is because it dares to suggest that the police got the right man. The booklet debunks claims that Abu-Jamal is a political prisoner like Nelson Mandela, painting the death row inmate as a wannabe O.J. Simpson."

The Law
(paperback): only $2.50!
by Frederic Bastiat
"...how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime....Then abolish this law without delay..."
--The Law
""The Law created order in my thinking about liberty and just human conduct."
--Walter Williams, economist and syndicated columnist

(hardback): only $19.95!
by Richard Bernstein
"Richard Bernstein here gives us his profound, utterly persuasive analysis of the crises the stultifying canons of the 'PC' movement have engendered, spicing his thesis with vividly human detailed reports from the many fronts of the raging culture war. A wry delight for aficionados of contemporary cant, it will be an invaluable source book for future social historians. See if you can read this and still do nothing!
--Christina Hoff Sommers, author, Who Stole Feminism

edited by Les Csorba, III; featuring Reed Irvine, Peter Collier, David Horowitz, Thomas Sowell, Stephen Balch, et al
"Here is the absorbing and real story of how those entrusted to keep alive the flame of Western Civilization have tried instead to extinguish it. With this book, Les Csorba and a band of academic freedom fighters have begun the counter-revolution that will help reverse this dangerous drift on college campuses."
--Jack Kemp, former congressman
"If a license were required to teach at our universities as it is to operate a motor vehicle, most of the professors would have had theirs revoked long ago for driving under the influence of substances foreign to American interests. This book trashes the academic elite as hypocritical phonies unworthy of tenure, much less our children's minds."
--Cal Thomas, syndicated columnist

"In Ronald Reagan: How and Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader, Dinesh D'Souza solves the mystery of Reagan by showing how this 'ordinary' man was able to transform the political landscape in away that made a perminant impact on America and the world. Through firsthand reporting and interviews, D'Souza portrays the private side of Reagan -- the man behind the mask -- and reveals the moral sources of his vision and leadership."

What's Right for All Americans: A Fearless Los Angeles Schoolteacher Challenges the Black Political Establishment
(hardback): only $12.95!
by Ezola Foster
"Ezola calls 'em as she sees 'em and is one of my all-time favorite, and sometimes most frustrating, guests."

--Daryl Gates, former Chief of Police, LA
After Liberalism: Mass Democracy in the Managerial State
(hardback): only $21.95!
by Paul Edward Gottfried
"This thoughtful work reflects the intellectual qualities of an erudite political philosopher whose knowledge of European political philosophy in the twentieth century is a particularly impressive."
--John Lukacs, author
"Throughout the Western world, increasingly uprooted populations unthinkingly accept centralized controls in exchange for a variety of entitlements. In their frightening passivity, Gottfried locates the quandary for traditionalist and populist adversaries of the welfare state. How can opponents of administrative elites show the public that those who provide, however ineptly, for their material needs are the enemies of democratic self-rule and of independent decision making in family life? If we do not wake up, Gottfried warns, the political debate may soon be over, despite sporadic and ideologically confused populist rumblings in both Europe and the United States."

Hating Whitey and Other Progressive Causes
(hardback): only $21.95!
by Paul David Horowitz
"In a highly polemical style, Horowitz argues that Americans, particularly black Americans, have lost sight of the color-blind society envisioned by Dr. King. Horowitz is at his best when he uses the more glaringly fallacious arguments advanced by his ideological foes to expose their inherent hypocrisy."
--Kirkus
"I opposed racial preferences in the 1960s and I oppose them now. Then, I believed that only government neutrality toward racial groups was compatible with the survival of a multi-ethnic society that is also democratic. I still believe that today""
--David Horowitz

More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws
(hardback): only $18.95!
by John R. Lott, Jr.
"John Lott destroys the politically correct argument that arming law-abiding citizens will have a harmful effect on their safety. There is no doubt that criminals prefer to prey upon the unprepared. This book will arm those who read it with the important facts they need in order to decide where they stand on the gun control issue."
--Dale Gulbrantson, Executive Director, Illinois Police Association, Inc.
"Does allowing people to own or carry guns deter violent crime? Or does it cause more citizens to harm each other? Wherever people happen to fall along the ideological spectrum, their answers are all too often founded upon mere impressionistic and anecdotal evidence. In this direct challenge to conventional wisdom, legal scholar John Lott presents the most rigorously comprehensive data analysis ever done on crime. In this timely and provocative work he comes to a startling conclusion: more guns mean less crime."
--University of Chicago Press

--Theodore Pappas, author
"Plagiarism and the Culture War is written with a sobriety that is essential to effectively discussing such sensitive topics as race and the shortcomings of a martyred hero. While hagiographers may shout 'racism' at any hint of imperfection attributed to the slain civil rights leader, Pappas’s courageous work assures that they can no longer continue this smokescreen with any legitimacy."
--Campus Report

by David O Sacks & Peter A. Thiel

--Christopher Cox, U.S. Congressman
Who Stole Feminism? How Women have Betrayed Women
(hardback): only $17.95!
by Christina Hoff Sommers
"Philosophy professor Christina Sommers has exposed a disturbing development: how a group of zealots, claiming to speak for all women, are promoting a dangerous new agenda that threatens our most cherished ideals and sets women against men in all spheres of life. In case after case, Sommers shows how these extremists have propped up their arguments with highly questionable but well-funded research, presenting inflammatory and often inaccurate information and stifling any semblance of free and open scrutiny. Trumpeted as orthodoxy, the resulting "findings" on everything from rape to domestic abuse to economic bias to the supposed crisis in girls' self-esteem perpetuate a view of women as victims of the "patriarchy." Moreover, these arguments and the supposed facts on which they are based have had enormous influence beyond the academy, where they have shaken the foundations of our educational, scientific, and legal institutions and have fostered resentment and alienation in our private lives. Despite its current dominance, Sommers maintains, such a breed of feminism is at odds with the real aspirations and values of most American women and undermines the cause of true equality. Who Stole Feminism? is a call to arms that will enrage or inspire, but cannot be ignored."
--Simon & Schuster
Inside American Education: The Decline, The Deception, the Dogmas
(hardback): only $19.95!
by Thomas Sowell
"Trenchant, insightful, comprehensive and above all true, Sowell's account of a journey inside American education challenges those who like it the way it is an stiffens the resolve of those fighting for radical change."
--Chester E. Finn, Jr., Founding Partner, The Edison Project
"Virtually everyone has heard how poorly American students perform, wheterh compared to foreign students of a generation ago. What everyone may not know are the specifics of how bad the situation has become, how and why the public has been deceived, or the dogmas and hidden agendas behind it all."
--Thomas Sowell
Race and Culture: A World View
(hardback): only $19.95!
by Thomas Sowell
"Thomas Sowell's views on race and culture must command the respect of any informed, unbiased person. ... His scope is truly amazing, encompassing the whole world and the history of the world from the beginnings of civilization to the present. The documentation is equally impressive. the book is a tour de force that will set the standards on this important and complex subject for years to come."
--Rondo Cameron, professor, Emory University
"For nearly a generation, Thomas Sowell has defined the terms of debate on affirmative action. His latest book expands the discussion beyond America's preoccupation with white racism and black disadvantage to examine how different groups fare in widely disparate societies and what role race and culture play in the process ... with broad implications for current public policies directed at racial and ethnic groups in the U.S."
--Linda Chavez, president, Center for Equal Opportunity
The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy
(hardback): only $19.95!
by Thomas Sowell
"Liberals -- or, to use Sowell's disparaging label, 'the anointed' -- view the world as 'a very tidy place,' where 'prescient politicians can "invest" tax dollars in the "industries of the future," where criminals can be "rehabilitated," irresponsible mothers taught "parenting skills," and where all sorts of other social problems can be "solved."' ... Again and again, as Sowell shows, the anointed have identified a pathology, administered a medicine to cure it, found that the medicine did nothing helpful and may even have made the patient sicker, and then called for stronger doses of the medicine."
--Robert George, National Review
"As compelling an explanation as any for the seemingly disproportionate amount of condescension and politically correct invective that emanates from the liberal side of the political spectrum toward the conservative opposition."
--Wall Street Journal
Dumbing Down Our Kids: Why American Children Feel Good About Themselves But Can't Read, Write, or Add
(hardback): only $16.95!
by Charles J. Sykes
"While many parents bask in the glow of complacency about their own children's education, Dumbing Down Our Kids documents the collapse of standards in our schools, the flight from learning, and the triumph of mediocre, feel-good education that is more concerned with pumping up self-esteem than it is with passing on knowledge. This dubious triumph includes the latest educational fad, "Outcome Based Education." Although known by different names in some states, OBE is the most recent in a long series of "reforms" that have eroded our schools. Charles Sykes traces these fads from their roots in the early "progressive" theories of John Dewey, through Dick and Jane and Spot, Life Adjustment, New Math, Mastery Learning, and other reforms-gone-wrong. Sykes concludes with a checklist for parents, students, and teachers who want to evaluate their schools, and a series of recommendations to restore quality learning to America."
--St. Martin's Press

by The Family Research Council / Introduced by Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
""Powerful and profoundly disturbing. This unforgettable documentary raises important issues that should be confronted by every thoughtful American parent."
--Michael Medved, film critic
"This video unveils a gross misuse of power in the pursuit of scientific and academic recognition. The tragedy has continued through the years as that research has been used to legitimize the sexual exploitation of children. Kinsey's data needs to be denounced and discarded."
--Dee Jepsen, President, Enough is Enough
