In The Twenty-Year Revolution from Roosevelt to Eisenhower, which was first published in 1954, author Chesly Manly, the United Nations Correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, leaves practically no part of government operation untouched. He covers the advent of the New Deal; the first year of the Eisenhower administration, with revelations of “diplomatic relations with an implacable enemy; subversion of national policies by collectivist legal and economic ‘experts’; willful toleration of communist infiltration into the government; active encouragement of such infiltration into the labor unions”, and wilful toleration of communist infiltration into the government to active encouragement of such infiltration into the labor unions and “reliance upon the Communists for political support”. A gripping read.

Evan Thomas's startling account of how the underrated Dwight Eisenhower saved the world from nuclear holocaust. Upon assuming the presidency in 1953, Dwight Eisenhower set about to make good on his campaign promise to end the Korean War. Yet while Eisenhower was quickly viewed by many as a doddering lightweight, behind the bland smile and simple speech was a master tactician. To end the hostilities, Eisenhower would take a colossal risk by bluffing that he might use nuclear weapons against the Communist Chinese, while at the same time restraining his generals and advisors who favored the strikes. Ike's gamble was of such magnitude that there could be but two outcomes: thousands of lives saved, or millions of lives lost. A tense, vivid and revisionist account of a president who was then, and still is today, underestimated, Ike's Bluff is history at its most provocative and thrilling.

Many conservatives want to know: Where did the Right go wrong? Justin Raimondo provides the answer in this captivating narrative. Raimondo shows how the noninterventionist Old Right - which included half-forgotten giants and prophets such as Senator Robert A. Taft, Garet Garrett, and Colonel Robert McCormick - was supplanted in influence by a Right that made its peace with bigger government at home and "perpetual war for perpetual peace" abroad. First published in 1993, Reclaiming the American Right is as timely as ever. This new edition includes commentary by Pat Buchanan, political scientist George W. Carey, Chronicles executive editor Scott Richert, and the Ludwig von Mises Institute's David Gordon.
