As the host of Fox News Channel’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto” and “Cavuto on Business”, Neil Cavuto reports on today’s most influential business leaders and newsmakers, from CEOs to politicians — getting behind the story by connecting with the men and women who made it. And he ends each show with his own personal commentaries — sometimes witty, often inspiring, and always incisive and thought-provoking. Now, Cavuto collects the best of these essays in one volume, on topics that range from business to family to civility in public life.
Nearly three years after 9/11, the war on terror is far from over. In fact, a leading terrorism expert argues that despite the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the efforts of the Department of Homeland Security, were not really any safer at all.
Harvey Kushner, a respected adviser to the FBI, the FAA, the INS, and other government agencies, offers frightening new evidence of a unified Islamic terrorist network that is operating inside the United States and planning new opportunities to strike.
Kushner identifies and assesses the violent plans of these Islamic organizations and individuals who take advantage of our reluctance to engage in ethnic profiling. He supports his claims with never-before-seen documents from top-level government sources, exposing a secret network of Arab intelligence agencies, terrorists, university professors, corrupt imams and other religious leaders, and violent criminals.
Some members of this network are recent immigrants; others have been American citizens for years. Some are laundering money from abroad through seemingly innocuous charities and mosques. Some have even infiltrated our military as Arabic translators and Muslim chaplains.
Finding and stopping these conspiracies will require drastic changes in the way Americans think about terrorism. Kushners proposals will spark a lively but essential debate about homeland security, civil liberties, immigration, law enforcement, and our nations most basic values and ideals.
Contempt: How The Right is Wronging American Justice by Catherine Crier
Americas federal courts have an enormous impact on the daily lives of Americans. They also make up the last relatively independent branch of government. But, there is a committed and well-organized confederation of ultra-conservative politicians, reactionary interest groups, and fundamentalist religious sects working to change that once and for all. And they are succeeding.
How?
They have a plan. They have money. And they have millions of believers.
A majority of Americans strongly oppose the dogmatic agenda of this extreme right-wing onslaught, but that majority has remained silent.
Someday, you and your family may wake up in a very different country, a country re-made in their intolerant image, a nation governed by their inflexible laws.
Since World War II, Americans have been the worlds true revolutionaries, expanding the frontiers of human liberty by fighting and winning the cold war. But now that were fighting the much more complicated war on terror, many observers wonder if our glory days are behind us. Ralph Peters, a controversial strategist and respected expert on military and intelligence issues, argues that the United States is actually poised for even greater success in the twenty-first centuryif our leaders make the right decisions about the opportunities and dangers we face today. In New Glory, he offers a strategic tour of the globes hot spots and how we should respond to the challenges they pose.
Peters criticizes the Bush administration for over-relying on high technology and defense contractors in the Iraq war and for not committing enough troops and being too afraid of casualties to do the job properly. He also offers a sharp analysis of whats wrong with our intelligence system and why the changes proposed by the 9/11 Commission arent enough.
The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades by Robert Spencer
Everything (well, almost everything) you know about Islam and the Crusades is wrong because most textbooks and popular history books are written by left-wing academics and Islamic apologists who justify their contemporary political agendas with contrived historical “facts.” But fear not: Robert Spencer (author of the bestseller Islam Unveiled) refutes the popular myths in The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades). Spencer reveals facts that you won’t be taught in school and will never hear on the evening news, supplies a revealing list of “Books You Must Not Read” (as far as the PC left is concerned), and takes you on a fast-paced politically incorrect tour of Islamic teaching and Crusades history that will give you all the information you need to understand the true nature of the global conflict America faces today.
