In this first book to systematically investigate extraordinary rendition, an award-winning investigative journalist and a "militar...

A New Generation Draws the Line: Kosovo, East Timor, and the Standards of the West - Noam Chomsky
The conflicts in Kosovo and East Timor in 1999, looked at side-by-side by Noam Chomsky, starkly illuminate the strategies of the Western powers in the new century.

Social Anarchism - Howard Ehrlich (Editor)
Contemporary anarchist thought from the U.S.A. Serious writing: critical texts, verse and good graphics. Always a hefty review section. This is one of few (ir)regular anarchist publications still coming out in North America. I don't think there's been a bad issue yet.

Winter Soldiers: An Oral History of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War - Richard Stacewicz
The Vietnam War left an indelible mark on those who took part in it and spawned an antiwar movement more popular than any other in US history. In all that has been written about the war, rarely do the worlds of the Vietnam veteran and the antiwar demonstrator come together. Yet in a small but articulate organization known as the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), the two made common cause.
