Description
Sanders' upbringing in a struggling working-class family in a hardscrabble section of Brooklyn during the 1950s taught him that poverty is a disease, one that affects us all. Incredibly, the lessons he learned back then are revolutionizing the political process this year, marking the resurgence of political progressivism on the left at the same time as the two-party system seems to be on the way out. From McGovern's 1972 loss to Nixon to the Occupy...

An unflinching account, in words and pictures, of America's longest war by our most outspoken graphic journalist
Ted Rall traveled deep into Afghanistan-without embedding himself with U.S. soldiers, without insulating himself with flak jackets and armored SUVs, where no one else would go (except, of course, Afghans).
He made two long trips: the first in the wake of 9/11, and the next ten-years later to see what a decade of U.S. occupation had wrought....

How did a charismatic young president elected in an atmosphere of optimism and expectation lead the United States to the brink of revolution? From a chance encounter in the early 1980s to the Democratic primaries of 2007-08, syndicated columnist and political cartoonist Ted Rall was one of the first to size up Barack Obama as we know him now: conservative, risk-averse and tone-deaf. In The Book of Obama Rall revisits the rapid rise and dizzying fall...

"There's a split in the Democratic Party.

Introduction by Bill Maher.
The world's first "Instant Graphic Novel!" When U.S. bombs started raining on the Taliban, Rall didn't just watch it on TV - he jumped on a plane straight to the war zone to get the real story for himself. But the only cartoonist to go to Afghanistan got more than he bargained for, way more than his previous gut-wrenching trip deep up the legendary Silk Road. Within days of arriving, armed men were hunting down journalists...
