Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of
Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s
Enemies
by
M. Stanton Evans
Description: Evans explains how the Communists
worked against the United States during the cold war
trying to influence our government and steal our
secrets. Six year of research led him to write this
book in defense of McCarthy and to proclaim that he
was not the bully he’s been portrayed as.
Glenn's Comments: He read the forward and
started the book but is undecided on whether to
finish it. The conspiracies suggested and evidence
of government cover-ups freaked him out. So he asks
his producer and listeners: Should he finish it?

A History of the English-Speaking Peoples Since
1900
by
Andrew Roberts

jingoistic peroration. Roberts (Napoleon and
Wellington) treats them as a political-cultural
unity, thriving on respect for law and property,
laissez-faire capitalism and the Protestant ethic,
and standing together against Nazism, communism and
Islamic terrorism. |
