Robert Nisbet, a conservative sociologist who lived from 1913 to 1996, anticipated by almost 50 years what is currently being said by academics and politicians who bemoan the demise of community. Now Brad Lowell Stone, a leading authority on Nisbet’s life and work, offers a close and clear exposition of his worldview, as well as a systematic survey of his contributions to the conservative movement. Nisbet’s writings, says Stone, “are an excellent place to start when persons are serious about the truths of our social world and when they seek guidance as to how they might better it.”

As Islamic terrorists took advantage of lax immigration policies to embed themselves deeply into American society and operate beneath law-enforcement radar, what was the liberal press doing?

A delightful yet scholarly work for ages 10 to adult. In Mrs. Lee’s day, in the South, it was not proper for a woman’s name to appear often in print, so Mrs. Lee is rarely mentioned in formal records.

As one of the most visible members of the Judiciary Committee that impeached Bill Clinton, Jim Rogan gained widespread attention -- and the enduring gratitude of conservatives -- for helping to spearhead the process. Though his liberal constituency responded by voting him out of office in 2000, Rogan remains a celebrated figure among conservatives. But this is just part of his amazing life story. Now, in Rough Edges, Rogan tells that story in what is certainly the funniest, most freewheeling -- and perhaps the most honest -- political memoir ever written.

In this fascinating work, historian John Julian Norwich examines how nine of Shakespeare’s plays merged actual fact and poetic license. Norwich’s entrancing conclusions will likely keep historians (and Shakespeare buffs) up late at night. As the Kirkus reviewer explains, Norwich “uses his immense knowledge of English and European history to illuminate the historical background of the plays and to offer an intriguing look at England in the years of Shakespeare’s writing. Norwich’s analysis of Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, and Richard III emphasizes factors Shakespeare added for dramatic effect and his equally strategic omissions.” read more

All across America, young warriors for liberty are springing up, unwilling to fall into lockstep with the liberal ideology pervading campuses throughout our land. With “fire in their bellies and quills in their hands,” these passionate, truth-seeking students are forming independent campus publications that have become the most important voice of our times -- the conservative counterculture taking on the left-wing orthodoxy in the battle of ideas. They are the Sam Adams and Patrick Henrys of our era, as student Morgan N. Knull of the Wabash Commentary points out in one of the book’s many inspiring essays: “In the years before the Liberty Bell sounded a call to arms, patriots flooded newspapers and town squares with pleas for independence, sparking debate and influencing public opinion. They planted the philosophical roots for the United States...Independent papers serve as the conscience of schools, the guardian of traditions, and the voice of reason amidst the rot of higher education.” read more

From 1999 to 2003, Ari Fleischer was one of George W. Bush's most trusted advisers -- first as a top campaign aide, then as White House press secretary. As such, Fleischer had an insider's view of the most dramatic events of the President's first term -- including the disputed 2000 election results, 9/11 and its aftermath, and the pressure-filled buildup to the war in Iraq. Through it all, Fleischer had the unenviable task of putting out the President's message through a mostly Bush-hating White House press corps, which habitually took out their disdain for the President on Fleischer himself. Now, in this revealing memoir, Fleischer takes readers behind-the-scenes in the Oval Office during a time of almost continual crisis -- and tells what it was like to "take heat" from a hostile media bent on destroying the Bush presidency.

"The last few decades have seen a welcome revival of scholarly interest in how we should live. But in an age of relativism that asks us not to be judgmental, the idea that laughter signals inferiority will seem very old-fashioned. And so it is." With that unapologetic salvo, F. H. Buckley, in this entirely entertaining book on the serious subject of laughter, takes the side of the guardians of moral and aesthetic standards in the battle against the soulless forces of modernism.

Americans are so hungry to understand the real Bill Clinton that his autobiography sold more than a million copies in its first weeks. But for all its 957 pages, My Life is little more than an exercise in deception, distortion, and spin. Now, in Because He Could, former Clinton adviser and confidant Dick Morris reexamines, rebuts, and corrects every highlight of the former President's massive, exhausting, self-indulgent autobiography -- filling in the parts of the story that Clinton left unmentioned. Just as he did with Hillary Clinton in this year's bestselling Rewriting History, Morris shows why, four years out of office, Bill Clinton still can't be trusted.

It's bad enough when celebrity fools like Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand, Sean Penn, and Susan Sarandon use their public pulpits to inflict their fatuous, ignorant liberalism on the rest of us. But when they do, it's easy for sensible conservatives to tune them out. Not so easy to avoid is the insidious propaganda that is now pouring out of Hollywood: politically charged films, distorted documentaries, and skewed docudramas sugarcoat the bitter pill of liberalism so that Americans will swallow it more easily. Hollywood elites are doing their best to infect Americans with liberal ideas before they even notice what's going on. But in Hollywood Nation, bestselling author and media critic James Hirsen exposes their sinister game -- and helps you to be on your guard against this subtle and often not-so-subtle brainwashing.

For decades, America's most "trusted" new sources -- The New York Times, the Associated Press, the major television networks -- have filtered, edited, and spun "news" until it's nothing more than liberal propaganda. Now, in Stop the Presses!, Joseph Farah, founder of WorldNetDaily.com, takes you inside the New Media revolution that is shaking the very foundations of the liberal mainstream media, eroding its ability to control the flow of information, and with it the power to control the lives of millions around the world. read more

By most accounts, the year 1964 was a disastrous one for conservatives. After a series of liberal legislative victories, Lyndon Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater by the biggest margin since FDR's 1936 landslide, and the Democratic Party gained its biggest majorities since the glory days of the New Deal. Yet this seemingly decisive shift in public opinion was illusory -- and the triumphant liberals would soon overplay their hand. Meanwhile, the conservative movement was quietly gaining strength, aligning itself behind an inspiring new leader who, only sixteen years later, would bring it to national dominance. read more
