Paperback. Condition: Good. Former Senator Gary Hart?s The Republic of Conscience is a meditation on the growing gap between the founding principles of the United States Constitution and our current political landscape. Going back as early as 400 BC, the idea of a true republic has been threatened by narrow, special interests taking precedence over the commonwealth. The United States Constitution was drafted to protect against such corruption, but as Gary Hart details in The Republic of Conscience, America is nowhere near the republic it set out to be almost 250 years ago, falling to the very misconduct it hoped to avoid.   In his latest book, the former Colorado Senator and presidential contender describes ?the increasing gap between purpose and performance? in America, emphasizing how the sense of national interest has become distorted and diluted over time. Focusing on the years after World War II, Hart tackles major American institutions?the military, the CIA, Congress?and outlines how these establishments have led the country away from its founding principles, not closer to them.   Full of original and incisive analysis, The Republic of Conscience is Hart?s examination and remedy for the millions of Americans who feel jaded, confused, and disappointed by their current government. A testament to Hart?s political faith in the founding fathers, this book is one citizen?s attempt to recapture the Republic, and a timely reminder for the next July 4th holiday.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Is it ever right to reject a child? What do you do when taking the life of an innocent person means saving several more? When is it right to break a promise? Can someone be too good? If confronted with these situations, what would you do? These are some of the issues explored in The Harder Right, short stories that throw light on the complexity of ethical decision-making. Each story considers a moral concern, from personal loyalty to conflicts between integrity and ethical principles. The Harder Right is designed to stimulate discussion about morality and ethics. A discussion guide is provided at the end of the book. The stories in this book are outstanding ethical markers that will help our soldiers dig deep inside themselves to practice not necessarily what to think, but how to think. Stephen Arata, Lieutenant Colonel (Ret), former Deputy Head of the Department of History, US Military Academy at West Point These stories compel the reader to place him- or herself in the shoes of each morally conflicted protagonist. I found myself repeatedly wondering what would I do in this situation. Jeffrey Berger, Director of Clinical Ethics, Department of Medicine, Winthrop-University Hospital, and Associate Professor of Medicine, Stony Brook School of Medicine The Harder Right demonstrates the difficulty of knowing the most basic truths about people while opening up a door to their lives and inviting us inside. Maryann Woods-Murphy, 2011 Teaching Ambassador Fellow of the U.S. Department of Education We have had some intense discussion using The Harder Right in the Freshman College. Every story provokes some kind of debate. We believe this will move the students to think more critically about unclear topics.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971) was an inner-city pastor, ethics professor, and author of the famous Serenity Prayer. Time magazine's 25th anniversary issue in March 1948 featured Niebuhr on its cover, and Time later eulogized him as "the greatest Protestant theologian in America since Jonathan Edwards." Cited as an influence by public figures ranging from Billy Graham to Barack Obama, Niebuhr was described by historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. as "the most influential American theologian of the twentieth century." In this companion volume to the forthcoming documentary film by Martin Doblmeier on the life and influence of Reinhold Niebuhr, Jeremy Sabella draws on an unprecedented set of exclusive interviews to explore how Niebuhr continues to compel minds and stir consciences in the twenty-first century. Interviews with leading voices such as Jimmy Carter, David Brooks, Cornel West, and Stanley Hauerwas as well as with people who knew Niebuhr personally, including his daughter Elisabeth, provide a rich trove of original material to help readers understand Niebuhr's enduring impact on American life and thought.

Paperback. Condition: Good. In a powerful and deeply personal memoir David Brock, the original right-wing scandal reporter, chronicles his rise to the pinnacle of the conservative movement and his painful break with it. David Brock pilloried Anita Hill in a bestseller. His reporting in The American Spectator as part of the infamous "Arkansas Project" triggered the course of events that led to the historic impeachment trial of President Clinton. Brock was at the center of the right-wing dirty tricks operation of the Gingrich era-and a true believer-until he could no longer deny that the political force he was advancing was built on little more than lies, hate, and hypocrisy. In Blinded By the Right, Brock, who came out of the closet at the height of his conservative renown, tells his riveting story from the beginning, giving us the first insider's view of what Hillary Rodham Clinton called "the vast right-wing conspiracy." Whether dealing with the right-wing press, the richly endowed think tanks, Republican political operatives, or the Paula Jones case, Brock names names from Clarence Thomas on down, uncovers hidden links, and demonstrates how the Republican Right's zeal for power created the poisonous political climate that culminated in George W. Bush's election. With a new afterword by the author, Blinded By the Right is a classic political memoir of our times.…
