The Divide: American Injustice in the Age of the Wealth Gap
by Matt Taibbi
The Divide (5/4/2014)
Unlike all of Mr. Tiabbis' previous books, his humor is missing. And rightly so. Every chapter he has devoted to the unthinkable acts perpetrated on our citizens cannot be viewed as something we should smile or chuckle at. All citizens should read and react to his serious and alarming accounts of our failed and biased judicial system.
Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety
by Eric Schlosser
Command and Control (12/29/2013)
Gripping, terrific edge-of-your-seat experience. The scariest history book you will ever read. Being born in the mid fifties and having been subjected to the possible nuclear war exercises at my elementary school by hiding underneath our desks at school, brought back all those frightful moments I lived as a child in Alberquerque. An excellent trilling account of a tragic and almost unbelievable past relived in a small Arkansas town. This book brings the reality of nuclear mistakes to the forefront of our future.
