1984One of twenty-three books selected for inclusion on the "Forbidden Bookshelf". 968 pages. Footnotes. Index. Black and white photographic plates. "Prentice-Hall drastically slashed its print run and advertising budget, despite the book's having met its advance sales target and won wide acceptance in reviews across the country. The almost immediate (and reportedly unprecedented) cancellation by BOMC (Book of the Month Club) of a book under such circumstances would have a chilling impact on most publishers, and Prentice-Hall was no exception. They allowed the book to go out of stock while demand for it remained high, and ultimately let it go out of print altogether." - Foreword. The above was discovered only after the author took Du Pont and Prentice-Hall to federal court.

2002lxxiv, 421 pages. Bibliography, index and endnotes. "The Culture of Critique (CofC) was originally published in 1998. It described how Jewish intellectuals initiated and advanced a number of important intellectual and political movements during the 20th century.

"This first paperback edition attampts to answer some criticisms leveled against CofC. I also discuss issues including Jewish involvement in Communism, the emergence of the Holocaust as a central cultural icon in Western societies, Jewish invovlement in the U.S. media, and the role of Jewish organizations in censoring the Internet." - back cover.

1999[14], 231 pages. Footnotes. Glossary. Index. "The CIA is not now nor has it ever been a central intelligence agency. It is the covert action arm of the president's foreign policy advisers. In that capacity it overthrows or supports foreign governments while reporting 'intelligence' justifying those activities. It shapes its intelligence to support presidential policy. Disinformation is a large part of its covert action responsibility, and the American people are the primary target of its lies." - Ralph McGehee. "McGehee spent 25 years in the CIA from 1952-77.
