- Revolution in the Air
Max Elbaum, 6/2002
"Max Elbaum has given us an incisive and critical history of the Other New Left - the radicals who brought class struggle and Third World liberation to the forefront, looked to the world for allies, and tried their best to work through the dynamics of race and class. If you still believe sixties radicalism was nothing more than youthful middle-class confusion or parochial identity politics, then open these pages and dig." --Robin D.G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
REVOLUTION IN THE AIR is the first in-depth study of the long march of the US New Left after 1968. It tells the story of thousands of dedicated organizers who made the most ambitious post-1968 attempt to combine the energy and creativity of sixtiesÌ movements with the working class tenacity of the Old Left. By recovering this under-examined chapter of US radicalism, REVOLUTION IN THE AIR challenges the dominant interpretation of the New Left, which artificially divides the decade of its explosive growth into an early "good sixties" and a later "bad sixties."

- A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide
Samantha Power, 2/2002
During the three years (1993-1996) Samantha Power spent covering the grisly events in Bosnia and Srebrenica, she became increasingly frustrated with how little the United States was willing to do to counteract the genocide occurring there. After much research, she discovered a pattern: "The United States had never in its history intervened to stop genocide and had in fact rarely even made a point of condemning it as it occurred," she writes in this impressive book. Debunking the notion that U.S. leaders were unaware of the horrors as they were occurring against Armenians, Jews, Cambodians, Iraqi Kurds, Rwandan Tutsis, and Bosnians during the past century, Power discusses how much was known and when, and argues that much human suffering could have been alleviated through a greater effort by the U.S. She does not claim that the U.S. alone could have prevented such horrors, but does make a convincing case that even a modest effort would have had significant impact. Based on declassified information, private papers, and interviews with more than 300 American policymakers, Power makes it clear that a lack of political will was the most significant factor for this failure to intervene. Some courageous U.S. leaders did work to combat and call attention to ethnic cleansing as it occurred, but the vast majority of politicians and diplomats ignored the issue, as did the American public, leading Power to note that "no U.S. president has ever suffered politically for his indifference to its occurrence. It is thus no coincidence that genocide rages on."
This powerful book is a call to make such indifference a thing of the past. Reviewed by Amazon.com

- The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering
Norman G. Finkelstein, 10/2001
From the book jacket:
It was not until the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, when Israel's evident strength brought it into line with US foreign policy, that memory of the Holocaust began to acquire the exceptional prominence it enjoys today. Leaders of America's Jewish community were delighted that Israel was now deemed a major stratedgic asset and, Finketstein contends, expolited the Holocaust to enhnce this new-found status. Their subsequent interpretations of the tragedy are often at variance with actual historical events and are employed to deflect any criticism of Israel and its supporters...
He concludes that the Holocaust industry has become an outright extortion racket.
Thouroughly researced and closely argued, The Holocaust Industry is all the more disturbing and powerful because the issues it deals with are so rarely discussed.
