New York: Random House, 1987. First edition. Stated. Hardcover. 227, [2] p. DJ is price clipped. Here the acclaimed Russian emigre novelist Vassily Aksyonov offers an exuberant chronicle of his encounters with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as he makes the United States his home. One of the leading Soviet writers of his generation--and one of the most popular--Aksyonov captured the spirit of Russia's Western-oriented youth in the sixties and their celebration of American culture. In 1980, he was forced to emigrate when his masterwork, The Burn, was published in the West. Now he compares America in the flesh to the mythical America of the Russian imagination. He follows American politics, offering hilarious commentary on presidential campaigns, teaches Russian literature to "The children of suburbia," scorns the bohemian life in New York, becomes an avid Redskins fan, and relishes the European charm and pointed contradictions of life in the nation's capital, where he and his wife finally hang their hats. Most of all, however, Aksyonov celebrates the endless variety of American life, and through his eyes, even the "notoriously checked trousers and flower-laden hats" of the elderly become signs of vibrancy rather than bad taste. As Aksyonov is "sucked into the great big wonderful world of American provincialism," we learn a great deal about Russian preconceptions--and a great deal about ourselves. More

Washington, DC: Brassey's, Inc., 2004. First Edition. Second Printing. Hardcover. xxi, [1], 309, [5] pages. Notes. Select Bibliography. Index. The author is a senior U.S. intelligence official. The book is a scathing critique of the Bush administration's policies since 9/11. Michael F. Scheuer (born 1952) is an American former intelligence officer for the Central Intelligence Agency, author, commentator and former adjunct professor at Georgetown University's Center for Peace and Security Studies. One assignment during his 22-year career was serving as Chief of the Bin Laden Issue Station (the Osama bin Laden tracking unit at the Counterterrorism Center, known as "Alec Station") from 1996 to 1999. He also served as Special Advisor to the Chief of Alec Station from September 2001 to November 2004. Scheuer became a public figure after being outed as the author of the book Imperial Hubris, in which he criticized many of the United States' assumptions about Islamist insurgencies and particularly Osama bin Laden. Later in 2004, Scheuer resigned from the CIA. Scheuer depicted bin Laden as a rational actor who was fighting to weaken the United States by weakening its economy, rather than merely killing Americans. Scheuer challenges the assumption that terrorism is the threat facing the United States in the modern era, arguing rather that Islamist insurgency is the core of the conflict between the U.S. and Islamist forces, who in places such as Kashmir and Chechnya are "struggling not just for independence but against institutionalized barbarism." bin Laden acknowledged the book in a 2007 statement, suggesting that it revealed "the reasons for your losing the war against us" More
