Title: Fast and Furious Subtitle: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and the Shameless Cover-Up Author: Katie Pavlich Narrator: Emily Durante Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 04-17-12 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 72 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Two hundred and rising. That's the death tally for the Obama administration's "Operation Fast & Furious." The program was supposedly designed to "win the drug war" by deliberately walking more than two thousand guns across the border to Mexico. But instead of catching drug lords, Fast & Furious armed the very kingpins it was supposed to trap. Despite the protests of gun store owners and ATF whistle-blowers, federal agents deliberately violated federal law-and common sense-and wound up placing American weapons into the hands of Mexico's most violent criminals. And when the guns started showing up at crime scenes-including the murder scene of a U.S. border patrol agent-the cover-up began. So reveals Townhall editor Katie Pavlich in her news-breaking exposé Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal. While the White House has claimed ignorance of the program, Pavlich debunks their lies, denials and excuses by demonstrating incontestable proof that President Obama and Attorney General Holder did willfully and knowingly sanction the program in order to advance their anti-second amendment agenda. A horrifying look at one of the bloodiest scandals in the history of the American presidency, Fast and Furious is this season's sensational, must-listen book that will rock America-and the Obama administration-to its core. Critic Reviews: "Absolutely devastating!" Michelle Malkin, author of (Culture of Corruption)

Title: Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism Author: Arthur C. Brooks Narrator: Dennis Holland Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 09-24-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: We all know we should give to charity, but who really does? In his controversial study of America's giving habits, Arthur C. Brooks shatters stereotypes about charity in America - including the myth that the political Left is more compassionate than the Right. Brooks, a preeminent public-policy expert, spent years researching giving trends in America, and even he was surprised by what he found. In Who Really Cares, he identifies the forces behind American charity: strong families, church attendance, earning one's own income (as opposed to receiving welfare), and the belief that individuals - not government - offer the best solution to social ills. But beyond just showing us who the givers and non-givers in America really are today, Brooks shows that giving is crucial to our economic prosperity, as well as to our happiness, health, and our ability to govern ourselves as a free people. Critic Reviews: "Lucidly written, carefully distilled and persuasively cogent." (The Wall Street Journal)

Now students at America's elite universities are parroting socialist talking points and "sure thing" Hillary Clinton is struggling to win the Democratic nomination against a 74-year-old avowed socialist who promises to make the nation more like Europe.

Thomas DiLorenzo, economics professor and senior fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, deconstructs the retrograde ideology that has suddenly become disturbingly hip in The Problem with Socialism.

Title: The Populist Explosion Subtitle: How the Great Recession Transformed American and European Politics Author: John B. Judis Narrator: Coleen Marlo Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 02-14-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 140 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: What's happening in global politics? As if overnight, many Democrats revolted and passionately backed a socialist named Bernie Sanders; the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union; the vituperative billionaire Donald Trump became the presidential nominee of the Republican party; and a slew of rebellious parties continued to win elections in Switzerland, Norway, Italy, Austria, and Greece. John B. Judis, one of America's most respected political analysts, tells us why we need to learn about the populist movement that began in the United States in the 1890s, the politics of which have recurred on both sides of the Atlantic ever since. Populism, on both the right and the left, champions the people against an establishment, based on issues - globalization, free trade, immigration - on which there has been a strong elite consensus, but also a strong mass discontent that is now breaking out into the open. The Populist Explosion is essential listening for our times as we grapple to understand the political forces at work here and in Europe. Editorial Reviews: Editors Select, February 2017 - Judis' The Populist Explosion was named one of the "Six Books to Help Understand Trump's Win" by the New York Times, and while this is not a misnomer - there's no shortage of aha moments in terms of how the election panned out - it should be noted that the book was written before his win and with a focus on how populism is affecting the political landscape on a global level. Judis, therefore, forgoes diatribe and instead lays the historical groundwork for populism - a political logic that crosses party lines and champions ordinary people against an establishment - to show how the stage was set for Trump and Sanders as well as dramatic shifts in Europe. The result is a refreshing and enlightening examination of where we are and how we got here. Critic Reviews: "Far and away the most incisive examination of the central development in contemporary politics: the rise of populism on both the right and the left. Superb." (Thomas Edsall, New York Times columnist)

Title: The Roots of Obamas Rage Author: Dinesh DSouza Narrator: Sean Runnette Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 09-27-10 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 453 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Critics of President Obama have attacked him as a socialist, an African American radical, and a big-government liberal. But somehow the critics have failed to understand whats truly driving Barack Obama. Now best-selling author Dinesh DSouza throws out these misplaced attacks in his new book, The Roots of Obamas Rage. DSouza explains that the reason Obama appears to be working to destroy America from within is found, as Obama himself admits, in The Dreams of My Father: a deeply hostile anticolonialism. Instilled in him by his father, this worldview has led President Obama to resent America and everything we stand for. Viewing Obama through this anticolonialism prism and drawing evidence from President Obamas own life and writings, DSouza masterfully shows how Obama is working to weaken and punish America here and abroad. From enacting crippling financial reforms to setting artificial withdrawal dates in Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama is trying to muzzle the capitalism which he sees as exploiting the weak. Our president, argues DSouza, is more concerned with being labeled as America the Oppressor than winning the war on terror. The Roots of Obamas Rage reveals Obama for who he really is: a man driven by the anticolonial ideology of his father and the first American president to actually seek to reduce Americas strength, influence, and standard of living. Controversial and compelling, The Roots of Obamas Rage is poised to be the one book that truly defines Obama and his presidency. Dinesh DSouza is the best-selling author of several books, including Whats So Great about America, Whats So Great about Christianity, and Life after Death. He has been a White House policy analyst, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and a fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He lives in Rancho Santa Fe, California, with his wife Dixie and their daughter Danielle. Critic Reviews: Dinesh DSouza is one of the most original, insightful, and penetrating minds in America today. (Paul Johnson, author of Modern Times)

In Media Madness, you'll learn: Never before has there been such an eye-opening, shocking look at what the White House and the media think about each other. It's not pretty.

Title: Horsemen of the Trumpocalypse Subtitle: A Field Guide to the Most Dangerous People in America Author: John Nichols Narrator: Matt Kugler Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-18 Publisher: Hachette Audio Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: A line-up of the dirty dealers and defenders of the indefensible who are definitely not "making America great again" Donald Trump has assembled a rogue's gallery of alt-right hatemongers, crony capitalists, immigrant bashers, and climate-change deniers to run the American government.

Title: The Threat Matrix Subtitle: Inside Robert Mueller's FBI and the War on Global Terror Author: Garrett M. Graff Narrator: Dan Woren Format: Unabridged Length: 28 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 12-27-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: An intimate look at Robert Mueller, the sixth director of the FBI, who has just been named special counsel to oversee the investigation into ties between President Trump's campaign and Russian officials. Covering more than 30 years of history, from the 1980s through Obama's presidency, The Threat Matrix explores the transformation of the FBI from a domestic law enforcement agency, handling bank robberies and local crimes, into an international intelligence agency - with more than 500 agents operating in more than 60 countries overseas - fighting extremist terrorism, cyber crimes, and, for the first time, American suicide bombers. Based on access to never-before-seen task forces and FBI bases from Budapest, Hungary, to Quantico, Virginia, this book profiles the visionary agents who risked their lives to bring down criminals and terrorists both here in the United States and thousands of miles away long before the rest of the country was paying attention to terrorism. Given unprecedented access, thousands of pages of once secret documents, and hundreds of interviews, Garrett M. Graff takes us inside the FBI and its attempt to protect America from the Munich Olympics in 1972 to the attempted Times Square bombing in 2010. It also tells the inside story of the FBI's behind-the-scenes fights with the CIA, the Department of Justice, and five White Houses over how to combat terrorism, balance civil liberties, and preserve security. The book also offers a never-before-seen intimate look at FBI director Robert Mueller, the most important director since Hoover himself. Brilliantly reported and suspensefully told, The Threat Matrix peers into the darkest corners of this secret war and will change your view of the FBI forever.

Title: Moral Politics Subtitle: How Liberals and Conservatives Think, 3rd Edition Author: George Lakoff Narrator: Fajer Al-Kaisi Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 12-26-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: When Moral Politics was first published two decades ago, it redefined how Americans think and talk about politics through the lens of cognitive political psychology. Today, George Lakoff's classic text has become all the more relevant, as liberals and conservatives have come to hold even more vigorously opposed views of the world, with the underlying assumptions of their respective worldviews at the level of basic morality. Even more so than when Lakoff wrote, liberals and conservatives simply have very different, deeply held beliefs about what is right and wrong. Lakoff reveals radically different but remarkably consistent conceptions of morality on both the left and right. Moral worldviews, like most deep ways of understanding the world, are unconscious - part of our "hard-wired" brain circuitry. When confronted with facts that don't fit our moral worldview, our brains work automatically and unconsciously to ignore or reject these facts, and it takes extraordinary openness and awareness of this phenomenon to pay critical attention to the vast number of facts we are presented with each day. For this new edition, Lakoff has added a new preface and afterword, extending his observations to major ideological conflicts since the book's original publication, from the Affordable Care Act to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the recent financial crisis, and the effects of global warming. One might have hoped such massive changes would bring people together, but the reverse has actually happened; the divide between liberals and conservatives has become stronger and more virulent. To have any hope of bringing mutual respect to the current social and political divide, we need to clearly understand the problem and make it part of our contemporary public discourse. Moral Politics offers a much-needed wake-up call to both the left and the right.

Title: Fall Out: A Year of Political Mayhem Author: Tim Shipman Narrator: Rupert Farley Format: Unabridged Length: 29 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-17 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: By the best-selling author of All Out War, short-listed for the Orwell Prize 2017. The unmissable account of politics covering Theresa May's time as PM through to the end of the election campaign. Stuffed to the brim with revelation and explanation of political debates and arguments and a superb follow-up to All Out War. 'May you live in interesting times' says the proverbial Chinese curse. And it is difficult to think of a recent period in which politics have been so unpredictable and fast-changing. As Political Editor of The Sunday Times, Tim Shipman has been at the forefront of it all. His book of last year, All Out War, has become the book on the 2016 referendum campaign. Shipman's writing is noted for its grasp of human drama as well as his intimate understanding of the political arguments and differences at stake. Fall Out continues the story of British politics from the entry of Theresa May into Downing Street as Prime Minister through to the end of the general election campaign - and its aftermath.

Critic Reviews: Praise for All Out War: "I can't imagine a more even-handed or better sourced, all points-of-view account of the biggest story in British politics since WWII.... A fine book.' (Andrew Marr, The Sunday Times) "Shipman's dispatches are a must read if you want to understand what happened beneath the smog and beyond the noise of the conflict." (Nick Robinson) "Shipman is brilliantly qualified to write the inside story of the referendum, with his unrivalled access to all the players." (John Rentoul)

Title: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Communism Author: Paul Kengor Narrator: John McLain Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 10-02-17 Publisher: Blackstone Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 31 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: The worst idea in history is back! Communism has wrecked national economies, enslaved whole peoples, and killed more than a hundred million men and women. What's not to like? Too many young Americans are supporting communism. Millennials prefer socialism to capitalism, and 25 percent have a positive view of Lenin. One in four Americans believe that George W. Bush killed more people than Joseph Stalin. And 69 percent of millennials would vote for a socialist for president. They ought to know better. Communism is the most dangerous idea in world history, producing dire poverty, repression, and carnage wherever it has been tried. And no wonder - because communism flatly denies morality, human nature, and basic facts. But it's always going to be different this time. Renowned scholar and best-selling author Paul Kengor unmasks communism, exposing its blood-drenched history and the strange sway it has long exercised over much of American media and education. He reveals: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Communism debunks the world's worst ideology, sounds the alarm about its disturbing popular resurgence, and arms you with facts you need to refute its appeal.

Title: Locked In Subtitle: The True Causes of Mass Incarceration - and How to Achieve Real Reform Author: John F. Pfaff Narrator: Graham Halstead Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 08-08-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Locked In is a revelatory investigation into the root causes of mass incarceration by one of the most exciting scholars in the country. Having spent 15 years studying the data on imprisonment, John Pfaff takes apart the reigning consensus created by Michelle Alexander and other reformers, revealing that the most widely accepted explanations - the failed War on Drugs, draconian sentencing laws, an increasing reliance on private prisons - tell us much less than we think. Pfaff urges us to look at other factors instead, including a major shift in prosecutor behavior that occurred in the mid-1990s, when prosecutors began bringing felony charges against arrestees about twice as often as they had before. He describes a fractured criminal justice system, in which counties don't pay for the people they send to state prisons, and in which white suburbs set law-and-order agendas for more-heavily minority cities. And he shows that if we hope to significantly reduce prison populations, we have no choice but to think differently about how to deal with people convicted of violent crimes - and why some people are violent in the first place. Critic Reviews: "In the extremely important book, Locked In: The True Causes of Mass Incarceration - and How to Achieve Real Reform, John F. Pfaff analyzes why America incarcerates more people than ever even as crime rates continue to fall...[he] also makes a compelling case that incarceration disrupts the lives of the incarcerated and their families long after they have served their time." ( Wall Street Journal) "Pfaff, let there be no doubt, is a reformer.... Nonetheless, he believes that the standard story - popularized in particular by Michelle Alexander, in her influential book, The New Jim Crow - is false. We are desperately in need of reform, he insists, but we must reform the right things, and address the true problem." (Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker)

Title: The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy Author: Christopher Lasch Narrator: David de Vries Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 07-20-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In this challenging work, Christopher Lasch makes an accessible critique of what is wrong with the values and beliefs of America's professional and managerial elites. The distinguished historian argues that democracy today is threatened not by the masses, as Jose Ortega y Gasset (The Revolt of the Masses) had said, but by the elites. These elites - mobile and increasingly global in outlook - refuse to accept limits or ties to nation and place. As they isolate themselves in their networks and enclaves, they abandon the middle class, divide the nation, and betray the idea of a democracy for all America's citizens. This is Lasch's clarion call for a return to the virtues of community, responsibility, and religion. Critic Reviews: "Lasch is so pithy and cogent that he produces the kind of book that makes you want to corner friends and read it aloud to them." (Booklist)

Title: Undocumented Subtitle: How Immigration Became Illegal Author: Aviva Chomsky Narrator: Frankie Corzo Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 07-04-17 Publisher: Beacon Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: Explores what it means to be undocumented in a legal, social, economic, and historical context In this illuminating work, immigrant rights activist Aviva Chomsky shows how "illegality" and "undocumentedness" are concepts that were created to exclude and exploit. With a focus on US policy, she probes how people, especially Mexican and Central Americans, have been assigned this status - and to what ends. Blending history with human drama, Chomsky explores what it means to be undocumented in a legal, social, economic, and historical context. The result is a powerful testament of the complex, contradictory, and ever-shifting nature of status in America. Critic Reviews: "An impassioned and well-reported case for change...Chomsky ably lays out just how brutal life can be for the undocumented." (New York Times Sunday Book Review) "Undocumented adds smart, new, and provocative scholarship to the immigration debate." (Los Angeles Review of Books) "From the first page to the last, Undocumented is to immigrant rights movement what We Charge Genocide was to the African American movement - a dossier that sets aside quibbles about whether immigrants contribute to the US economy or not, whether immigrants speak English or not and gives flesh to the slogan, 'Immigrant rights are human rights.' A clear-headed and smart book that locates the struggles of immigrants squarely in the struggles for human rights. Nothing less is to be accommodated, and much more is to be imagined." (Vijay Prashad, author of The Poorer Nations: A Possible History of the Global South)

Title: Working Class Republican Subtitle: Ronald Reagan and the Return of Blue-Collar Conservatism Author: Henry Olsen Narrator: Derek Shetterly Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 06-27-17 Publisher: Harper Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Nonfiction, Politics Publisher's Summary: In this sure to be controversial book in the vein of The Forgotten Man, a political analyst argues that conservative icon Ronald Reagan was not an enemy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal but his true heir and the popular program's ultimate savior. Conventional political wisdom views the two most consequential presidents of the 20th century - FDR and Ronald Reagan - as ideological opposites. FDR is hailed as the champion of big-government progressivism manifested in the New Deal. Reagan is seen as the crusader for conservatism dedicated to small government and free markets. But Henry Olsen argues that this assumption is wrong. In Working Class Republican, Olsen contends that the historical record clearly shows that Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal itself were more conservative than either Democrats or Republicans believe and that Ronald Reagan was more progressive than most contemporary Republicans understand. Olsen cuts through political mythology to set the record straight, revealing how Reagan - a longtime Democrat until FDR's successors lost his vision in the 1960s - saw himself as FDR's natural heir, carrying forward the basic promises of the New Deal: that every American deserves comfort, dignity, and respect provided they work to the best of their ability. Olsen corrects faulty assumptions driving today's politics. Conservative Republican political victories over the last 30 years have not been a rejection of the New Deal's promises, he demonstrates, but rather a representation of the electorate's desire for their success - which Americans see as fulfilling the vision of the nation's founding. For the good of all citizens and the GOP, he implores Republicans to once again become a party of "FDR conservatives" - to rediscover and support the basic elements of FDR (and Reagan's) vision.
