Book excerpt: In HOW MUCH MONEY DID YOU MAKE ON THE WAR DADDY? arms trade expert and comedian William Hartung offers an in-depth look at how the Bush Administration and its supporters profited from the conflict in Iraq and the ongoing war against terrorism. Hartung examines how George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld have presided over the biggest bonanza for weapons makers since Ronald Reagan's time in office, and how continued international conflict is in the best interest of many of the Bush Administrations main supporters. He exposes where the money comes from, how it gets spent, who benefits from it and how the public are misled on a regular basis both the US government and big business. Hartung also looks at how the American popular media have increasingly become agencies of government propaganda and tools for building public support for aggressive action against foreign governments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cold War was a turbulent time to grow up in. Family ties were tested, friendships were torn apart and new beliefs forged out of the ruins of old loyalties. In this book, through twelve evocative stories of childhood and early adulthood in Australia during the Cold War years, writers from vastly different backgrounds explore how global political events affected the intimate space of home, family life and friendships. Some writers were barely in their teens when they felt the first touches of their parents’ political lives, both on the Left and the Right. Others grew up in households well attuned to activism across the spectrum, including anti-communism, workers’ rights, anti-Vietnam War, anti-apartheid and women’s rights. Sifting through the key political and social developments in Australia from the end of World War II to the early 1990s, including the referendum to ban the Communist Party of Australia, the rise of ‘the Movement’ and the Labor split, and post-war migration, this book is a powerful and poignant telling of the ways in which the political is personal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story behind The Magnificent Seven could have been a movie in itself. It had everything--actors' strike, writers' strike, Mexican government interference and a row between the screenwriters that left one removing his name from the credits, all under the lingering gloom of post-McCarthy era Hollywood. A flop on release, it later became a box office hit. This book tells the behind-the-scenes story: how Yul Brynner became the biggest independent producer in Hollywood; why John Sturges was not the first choice after Brynner surrendered the director's chair; why Sturges quit; the truth about the Mirisch Company (producers); the details of the film's botched release and unlikely redemption; the creation of Elmer Bernstein's classic score; and how internecine fighting prevented the making of the television series in 1963. Myths about Steve McQueen, his feud with Brynner and the scene-stealing antics of the cast are debunked. A close examination of the various screenplay drafts and the writers' source material--Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai--shows who wrote what. Extensive analysis of Sturges' directorial work is provided.

Book excerpt: His scam was as simple as it was brazen. Before and during the Great Depression, Oscar Hartzell persuaded tens of thousands of Midwesterners to part with millions of dollars to start a legal fund that would see the mythical fortune of Sir Francis Drake restored to his rightful heir. In return for their contributions, donors would get shares in the riches, estimated to be worth $100 billion. The money of course went in the pocket of Hartzell, who transformed himself into a hedonistic English aristocrat even as the folks back home continued to see him as a hero. As he recounts this amazing tale, Richard Rayner tells the larger history of cons in America. We have always had a soft spot for the crafty or larger-than-life swindler, and with Drake’s Fortune, Rayner offers a delightful portrait of a uniquely American character.

Book excerpt: A wake-up call to the lies and crimes of Bush and the neo-cons - in war, voting, media, taxes, morals, health, schools, laws, liberties... "Brutally honest, well-researched strongly recommended." - Midwest Book Review. This Brief on the Bush Presidency highlights the yawning gap between Bush rhetoric and reality, marshalling the key facts on issues in the news, plus the background played down by mainstream media. Bush's favorite for Iraqi head of state, Ahmed Chalabi, a convicted felony embezzler and a CIA asset, will turn over Iraq's oil industry to campaign contributors like Cheney's Halliburton. Saddam Hussein got his start as a CIA asset too. By now everyone knows about the Iraq WMD hoax- but not the evidence of an even scarier 9/11 cover-up. "We have to look the truth in the face, take a deep breath, and draw the line to defend our values as a nation," says author Cox. If information is power, he delivers the information that is a source of empowerment.
