With enormous skill, the president and his advisors have constructed a defensive wall built of bricks left over from Watergate: diversion, half-truth, equivocation, and sophistry. It is a wall that has remained unbreached. Until now. In The Death of Outrage: Bill Clinton and the Assault on American Ideals, former cabinet secretary and bestselling author William J. Bennett dismantles the president's defenses, brick by evasive brick, and analyzes the meaning of the Clinton scandals: why they matter, what the public reaction to them means, and the social and political damage they have already inflicted on America. For, despite Bill Clinton's position in public opinion polls, the most persuasive public arguments made by the president's supporters wither under the clear light of moral reason and common sense. The Death of Outrage exposes the fallacious and demeaning logic that argues our economic well-being is the only important measure of presidential performance; torpedoes the deep but wholly unexamined respect for European sophistication about "private matters"; and explains why the president's troubles are not the result of a "vast, right-wing conspiracy," but are the result of his own doings. The Death of Outrage shows How the president's actions, far from being irrelevant to the conduct of his affairs, have severely restricted his ability to govern. The unprecedented recklessness of the Clinton administration in everything from influence peddling to sexual misconduct to alarming tactics of intimidation. How the president and his defenders have exploited the natural tolerance of the American people -- and made a mockery of the rule of law. Why the Clinton scandals -- from the Travel Office, to Filegate, to the Rose Law Firm billing records, to the Lewinsky Affair -- are neither a creation of the tabloid press, nor independent of one another. Bill Bennett explains why presidential character matters; why allegations of sexual misconduct need to be taken seriously; why reasoned judgment is the mark of a healthy democracy; and why the ends don't justify the means. Explosive and hard-hitting, powerful in its logic, carefully reasoned in its conclusions, The Death of Outrage is directed at a shameful chapter of American history. It is an urgent call for American citizens to repudiate the deep corruption of Bill Clinton, and the corrupting arguments made in his defense., The Free Press, 1998, 4.5, Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.A.: W Pub Group, 1994.

By Christmas 2008, eight banks had been part-nationalised, Woolworths had disappeared, unemployment had reached nearly two million and the country's debt had hit record levels. We are now a bankrupt nation. After the great crash of 2008, Americans could at least blame an incompetent right-wing government. But when the money ran out, Britian was ruled by left wings who had grown up despising the 'funny-money' men. And yet, like the most gullible investors on Wall Street, New Labour prostrated themselves before the snake oil charmers of financial capital. Since they came to power in 1977, Nick Cohen has been taking the pulse of what has turned out to be the longest period of left-wing government in British history. over a decade later, he reports from the sickbed of liberal England as battered and broken voters contemplate a remarkable shift. With splendid outrage and great compassion, this book is an account of a country that, for the first time since the end of the Empire, is considering embracing the old rulingclass it has despised for decades. 383 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) .

Fourth Estate. Very Good. 5.31 x 1.26 x 8.5 inches. Paperback. 2009. 400 pages.<br>Selected writings from one of the most important co mmentators of our generation covering the wreckage of Labour's 10 year love affair with the Right BY THE SUMMER of 2007, Britain w as close to crashing. A few onlookers realised the danger, but Br itain's political leaders were not among them. Politicians and ci vil servants boasted that the City's economy was booming because of their 'light-touch regulation' of workers in financial service s whose number included potential frauds. Curiously, they never a rgued that the inner-city economy might boom if there was 'light touch regulation' of workers in the ghettos whose number included potential drug dealers. And artists produced works to match the times. On the same day that Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, the ge nial Damien Hirst auctioned at Sotheby's pieces he admitted had b een mass produced in his studios and buyers still gave him £100 m illion. Even the critics did not pretend to be interested in what message, if any, Hirst had for his audience, but reported the sa le like business reporters covering a soaring stock. nFor 10 year s New Labour stood cross-eyed in admiration as London was turned into the centre of the financial universe. From the sand bags Nic k Cohen has watched as they turned their back on the working clas s, once the object of Utopian hopes on the Left and unreasonable fears on the Right, and lovingly embraced the upper class, once t he object of surly contempt on the Left. In Waiting for the Etoni ans are gathered his selected writings that cover the span of Lab our's love affair with the Right and the moral hazard that it has culminated in. It is a romance which has not only broken its tra ditional bond with the working classes and undermined the very va lues on which the party was founded, but has now left it with lit tle more to do than warm the seat for the next Conservative Prime Minister. ., Fourth Estate, 2009, 3<
