Kenneth Timmerman’s new book, Shadow Warriors: The Untold Story of Traitors, Saboteurs, and the Party of Surrender, is a potent assault on the enemy within. The late great U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Jeanne Kirkpatrick once reflected upon her role in the war against the Communist bloc and its sycophants by remarking, “We understood that our words were weapons.” Now, in a world where ubiquitous Internet-bound words penetrate every private salon from Tehran to … More >

About the book “American Mourning.” The philosopher and member emeritus of that rare breed of British conservatives, Roger Scruton, once wrote that, for him, the most compelling sentence contained in the New Testament is “Jesus wept.” For me, American Mourning, co-written by the prize-winning author Catherine Moy and conservative diva Melanie Morgan, mother of the Gray Davis recall, invokes similar paroxysms of emotion that merged unmistakably with a religious experience. Their book tells two parallel … More >

Book Review: Countdown to Crisis by Ken Timmerman Throughout the 1930s, although he been a popular war hero, author, Lord of the Admiralty and had held numerous cabinet ministries, Winston Churchill, remained a “back bencher” barely holding on to his seat in the House of Commons.

Can there be anything more sacred or more defining for a Kerry-voting liberal than the certain knowledge that our war in Viet Nam was evil? Yet in a remarkable twist of fate, the Kerry campaign continues to compel us to revisit the Viet Nam era.

They will … More >

With the reelection of George Bush, the world has been put on notice that his doctrine of preemption will stay in place and that the U.S., in waging war on terror, will stay on offense. If new theaters are opened and the conflict widens or worsens, it’s apparent the country’s mettle and resolve will be tested.

Venona and In Denial Books by Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr John Carey is the newly anointed president of the Bush-lied opposition. But now that the Iraqi Governing Council has approved a bill of rights and the most democratic constitution in the Arab world, informed, principled objections to the success of the Iraq war continue to evaporate, leaving only a sludge of unconscionable partisanship and its near alloy, anti-Americanism. Two books, Venona, published in 1999, … More >
