>>  FORBIDDEN TRUTH
>>  By Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie
>>
>>  This provocative investigation details the history of what the authors
>>  argue were secret oil talks between the US and the Taliban prior to
>>  September 11. A best-seller in Europe, this book also offers new
>>  information on the consequences of the US and Saudi policy of funding and
>>  supporting Islamic fundamentalists in Afghanistan to fight against the
>>  Soviet Union in the 1980s.

>>  Edited by Paula Giddings
>>
>>  This collection of the best Nation writing on race and civil rights from
>>  1865 to the present features selections by insurgent American writers
>>  representing diverse political and personal points of view that illuminate
>>  The Nation's longstanding commitment to racial justice. With essays by
>>  Martin Luther King, Jr., Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Du Bois, Toni Morrison
>>  and James Baldwin, among many others.

>>  GUERRILLA RADIO
>>  By Matthew Collins
>>
>>  If ever there was proof needed that music and politics can be a powerful
>>  combination, the story of Belgrade's alternative rock radio station B92 is
>>  it. Armed with a stack of old punk records and a dream of freedom, this
>>  defiant radio station waged a ten-year war against Slobodan Milosevic's
>>  dictatorship --and eventually won. For the remarkable story of B92, check
>>  out Matthew Collin's Guerrilla Radio, which details this bunch of Belgrade
>>  kids and their now-legendary pirate radio station.

>>
>>  MOUNT RUSHMORE: An Icon Reconsidered
>>  By Jesse Larner
>>
>>  Conceived in the 1920s as a tourist attraction, Mount Rushmore was quickly
>>  recast by the sculptor into an icon of democracy, freedom, and hope. The
>>  history of the Black Hills and the sense of manifest destiny that haunts
>>  the monument, however, render the faces more ironic than iconic. In a
>>  compelling narrative, Jesse Larner investigates the complex stories that
>>  have been edited out of the standard guidebooks on one of America's most
>>  well-known but least understood national icons.
>>  http://www.nationbooks.org/rushmore.shtml
>>
>>  These four titles are just a taste of what NationBooks has to offer. So
>>  please check the links above. You can find information, reviews and
>>  directions on how to buy the books online at discounted prices as well as
>>  more info on NationBooks.
>>
>>  Best Regards,
>>  Peter Rothberg, Associate Publisher
