Dupes
Summary
In this startling, intensively researched book, best-selling historian Paul Kengor shines light on a deeply troubling aspect of American history: the prominent role of the "dupe". From the Bolshevik Revolution through the Cold War and right up to the present, many progressives have unwittingly aided some of America's most dangerous opponents. Based on never-before-published FBI files, Soviet archives, and other primary sources, Dupes reveals: Shocking reports on how Senator Ted Kennedy secretly approached the Soviet leadership to undermine not one but two American presidents Stunning new evidence that Frank Marshall Davis - mentor to a young Barack Obama - had extensive Communist ties and demonized Democrats Jimmy Carter's woeful record dealing with America's two chief foes of the past century, Communism and Islamism Today's dupes, including the congressmen whose overseas anti-American propaganda trip was allegedly financed by foreign intelligence How Franklin Roosevelt was duped by "Uncle Joe" Stalin - and by a top adviser who may have been a Soviet agent - despite clear warnings from fellow Democrats How John Kerry's accusations that American soldiers committed war crimes in Vietnam may have been the product of Soviet disinformation The many Hollywood stars who were duped, including Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Katharine Hepburn, Gene Kelly - and even Ronald Reagan

Left Turn
Summary
Dr. Tim Groseclose, a professor of political science and economics at UCLA, has spent years constructing precise quantitative measures of the slant of media outlets. He does this by measuring the political content of news, as a way to measure the PQ, or political quotient, of voters and politicians. Among his conclusions are these: (i) all mainstream media outlets have a liberal bias, and (ii) while some supposedly conservative outlets - such as The Washington Times or Fox News' Special Report - do lean right, their conservative bias is less than the liberal bias of most mainstream outlets. Groseclose contends that the general leftward bias of the media has shifted the PQ of the average American by about 20 points, on a scale of 100, the difference between the current political views of the average American and the political views of the average resident of Orange County, California, or Salt Lake County, Utah. With Left Turn, listeners can easily calculate their own PQ and decide for themselves if bias exists.

The Martians
Summary
The Martians is an in-depth study of the theory that Mars was once a world that teemed with life. Perhaps, even, life not too dissimilar to ours. Incredibly, the Martians may still be there. Alive. The questions that this book asks and answers include the following: What kind of society did the Martians have? What caused their world to become harsh and desert-like? Did global warming or nuclear war ensure the extinction of the Martians? Are Martian artifacts strewn about the surface, just waiting to be found by the likes of NASA? Has NASA already found such evidence, but chosen to withhold such monumental finds from the public and the media? Could some form of the Martians still exist, deeply below the surface of the planet, in secure installations that allow them to ensure their civilization continues? What do we know about the Martian environment, its atmosphere, and its landscape? The Martians explores the CIA's top-secret search for the Martians, multiple photos of strange anomalies, and the latest revelations about the environment and water on Mars. And most tantalizing of all: Did an ailing Martian race come to Earth in past eons and were they confused with gods? The questions concerning life on Mars - then and now - are many. The answers are astounding.
