Title: “Dubs Goes to Washington: And Discovers the Greatness of America”

Authors: Dick Morris, Eileen McGann, Clayton J. Liotta

Rank: 8

Blurb: “Dubs Goes to Washington… and Discovers the Greatness of America is a book that teaches young children their first patriotic lessons. The star of the book is Dubs, our adorable golden retriever. Dubs has lost his beloved tennis ball in Washington, D.C. Your kids and grandkids — and, in fact, all kids from 4-8 — will love helping Dubs find it — and, in the process, will discover what makes America such an exceptional nation.”

Review: “Buying this book for your children is tantamount to child abuse.”

Title: “Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?”

Author: Pat Buchanan

Rank: 20

Blurb: “America was born a Western Christian republic, writes Buchanan, but is being transformed into a multiracial, multicultural, multilingual, multiethnic stew of a nation that has no successful precedent in the history of the world.”

Review: “Pat’s thesis is clear throughout the book: America is disintegrating before our eyes. ‘What happened to the country we grew up in?’ It’s a question that I, as someone born in 1960 and someone who shares Pat’s Christian beliefs, can identify with.” (Fr. Charles Erlandson, Tyler, Texas)

Title: “This Is Herman Cain!: My Journey to the White House”

Author: Herman Cain!

Rank: 10

Blurb: “If you care about the future of America, you have heard of the down-to-earth political newcomer running for president, the straight-talking man of the people with blunt assessments of what America needs. Originally overlooked by mainstream politicos and media, Herman Cain[!] is truly a candidate from ‘outside the Beltway,’ but no longer one who is being ignored. BUT WHO IS HE?”

Title: “The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin”

Author: Joe McGinniss

Rank: 93

Blurb: “On Election Day 2008, McGinniss began his on-the-ground reporting that culminated, famously, in his moving next door to Sarah Palin in spring 2010. THE ROGUE is the eagerly awaited result of his research and writing: a startling study of the illusion and reality of Sarah Palin — and a probing look at the Alaska and the America that produced her. Sometimes funny, sometimes frightening, always provocative and illuminating, THE ROGUE answers the questions ‘Who is she, really?,’ ‘How did she happen?,’ and ‘Will she ever go away?’”

Review: “McGinniss does to Alaska with words what David Lynch did with film to our collective vision of America’s heartland.”

Title: “That Used to Be Us: How America Fell Behind in the World It Invented and How We Can Come Back”

Authors: Thomas L. Friedman and Michael Mandelbaum

Rank: 13

Blurb: “They offer a way out of the trap into which the country has fallen, which includes the rediscovery of some of our most valuable traditions and the creation of a new, third-party movement.”

Review: “One particularly good example for why a different way of thinking and approaching problems is needed comes from Friedman’s discussions with Byron Auguste, a managing director with McKinsey & Company.”
