  “The Mendacity of Hope should help wake up all those Obama-voters who've been napping while the wars escalate, the recession deepens, and the environment goes straight to hell.” —Barbara Ehrenreich 
  From the former editor-in-chief of Harper's Magazine comes a bold manifesto exposing President Obama's failure to enact progressive reform at home and abroad. National Magazine Award finalist Roger Hodge makes a hard-hitting case against Obama's failure to deliver on the promises of his campaign. The first book-length critique of the Obama's presidency from a prominent member of the left, The Mendacity of Hope will strike a chord with anyone stirred by the words of Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and Frank Rich. It's the book that every frustrated progressive in America has been waiting to read.

  Power. Money. Blood. Influence. 
  What began as smuggling routes through the desert has evolved into one of the most powerful underground empires on Earth — a parallel nation built on fear, loyalty, and staggering wealth. 
  In Cartel Nation, readers are taken deep inside the hidden machinery of Mexico’s drug cartels — a world where criminal networks rival governments, warlords command armies, and pop culture glorifies the very violence that terrorizes entire regions. Through gripping storytelling and meticulous investigation, this book unveils how cartels moved from the shadows into the center of politics, business, and everyday life. 
  Discover: 
  •	How Mexico’s cartels grew from small-time traffickers into transnational corporations of crime. 
  •	The secret alliances between drug lords, politicians, police, and billionaires. 
  •	How narco culture — from music and film to religion and fashion — turned the cartels into global icons. 
  •	The brutal wars fought for territory, power, and legitimacy — and why they can’t simply be “won.” 
  From the dusty streets of Sinaloa to the halls of power in Mexico City, Cartel Nation traces a chilling and fascinating rise — a story of corruption, resilience, and the dark side of globalization. 
  Suppose you’re fascinated by true crime, geopolitics, or the human cost of power. In that case, this book will leave you stunned—and unable to look away. 
  Perfect for fans of Don Winslow, Ioan Grillo, and Netflix’s Narcos, Cartel Nation reveals the truth behind the myth — and why the cartel era is far from over.

  This book has a message for everyone concerned about the direction of politics in Scotland, the UK and beyond: do not despair. There are realistic, left alternatives to being stuck in a political 'doom loop'. 
  In 1975 the Red Paper on Scotland, edited by the young, radical Gordon Brown was a seminal publication; it helped create, not just catch, the mood of the day.  
  Fifty years later a new group of writers have come together to write about what we can learn from the past and how we can shape what lies ahead. 
  The authors of this book believe only a radical redistribution of wealth and power within a democratic economy will engage Scottish voters. It calls on us to Keep Left.
