Salvation Boulevard

A novel

By Larry Beinhart


From the Edgar Award-winning novelist and author of Wag the Dog and The Librarian comes a new mystery novel about a private investigator and a case that tests his courage, character and soul. The victim is an atheist professor, the main suspect—who has confessed and is in custody—a Muslim foreign student, the defense attorney a Jew and the detective a born-again Christian. The New York Times says of Beinhart, "The man can really write."

Read glowing reviews of the book in the Chicago Sun-Times and the San Diego Union Tribune.

The Age of the Warrior

Selected Essays

By Robert Fisk


Robert Fisk, Britain's most celebrated foreign correspondent, takes us from the London bombings to the streets of Lebanon, from war-torn Iraq to the horrors of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, offering courageous, eyewitness accounts of our blood-stained past and present. A collection of remarkable breadth and power, The Age of the Warrior is indispensable reading for our complex, battle-scarred world.

"Robert Fisk is one of the outstanding reporters of this generation. As a war correspondent he is unrivalled."

Backstabbing for Beginners

My Crash Course in International Diplomacy

By Michael Soussan


In 1997, Michael Soussan accepted his dream job at the United Nations Oil-for-Food program, the largest humanitarian operation in the organization's history. On March 8, 2004, in a Wall Street Journal editorial, he became the first insider to call for "an independent investigation" of the UN's dealings with Saddam Hussein. Backstabbing for Beginners is at once the darkly comic tale of one man's political coming of age, and a stinging indictment of the hypocrisy that prevailed at the heart of the world's most idealistic institution.

The Future's So Bright, I Can't Bear to Look


By Tom Tomorrow


Welcome to a world where George Bush and Dick Cheney are secretly radical leftists trying to destroy the Republican party from within and Richard Perle hosts the "NeoCon Game Show," awarding fabulous prizes to the contestant with the most outlandishly inappropriate answers—welcome to the world of Tom Tomorrow. From Hurricane Katrina to the latest presidential campaign, these cartoons provide an unflinching look at where we've been and just how bright we can expect the future to be.

"Hail Tom Tomorrow!"
—Michael Moore

The American Dream

Walking in the Shoes of Carnies, Arms Dealers, Immigrant Dreamers, Pot Farmers, and Christian Believers

By Harmon Leon


In The American Dream, Harmon Leon uncovers the humorous, contradictory ways in which people define themselves in relation to their country. Leon's pursuit takes him from the pot fields of Northern California to reality T.V. shows in Culver City and from swinging parties in the suburbs to Christian protests against fornicators in Kansas, offering a funny, satirical and poignant take on what it means to live in twenty-first century America.

For more information, visit Harmon Leon's blog.
