Drawing on his decades of exceptional journalism and his connections within Washington and around the world, Luce advances a carefully constructed and controversial argument, backed up by interviews with many of the key players in politics and business, that America is losing its pragmatism – and that the consequences of this may soon leave the country high and dry.

On March 28, 2012, in Book Reviews, Military, Nonfiction, Political, by Editor

“Author” Janie Johnson – Conservatism, Patriotism, and… Optimism?

On March 13, 2012, in Articles, Wilfried F. Voss, by Editor

As a publisher I would stay away from any literature that is based on hate, and Janie Johnson is driven by hate. Hate speech goes along with misinformation, as history has shown. Again, it damages the reputation not only of the author but also that of the publisher.

Booker T. Washington, the founder of Tuskegee Institute, and Julius Rosenwald, the president of Sears, Roebuck, and Company, first met in 1911 at a Chicago luncheon. By charting the lives of these two men both before and after the meeting, Stephanie Deutsch offers a fascinating glimpse into the partnership that would bring thousands of modern schoolhouses to African American communities in the rural South in the era leading up to the civil rights movement.

Democracy Despite Itself: Why a System That Shouldn’t Work at All Works So Well by Danny Oppenheimer and Mike Edwards

On March 10, 2012, in Book Reviews, Nonfiction, Political, by Editor

Oppenheimer and Edwards argue that democracy works because regular elections, no matter how flawed, produce a variety of unintuitive, positive consequences. Mass participation in contested elections creates psychological pressure for voters to be better citizens and for politicians to be better leaders; alternating power regularly between different factions helps avoid instability; citizens are sometimes able to overcome their ignorance and make informed choices; and voters do have the power to punish politicians for excessively bad behavior.
