America's Original Sin: White Supremacy, John Wilkes Booth, and the Lincoln Assassination

What really drove John Wilkes Booth to assassinate Abraham Lincoln? Not madness. Not impulse. White supremacy.

In America’s Original Sin, historian John Rhodehamel delivers a gripping narrative that reframes one of the most infamous crimes in American history. Drawing on Booth’s life, letters, and the political climate of the Civil War, Rhodehamel argues the assassination was an act of extremist ideology—rooted in rage over emancipation and racial equality.

Obama and the Bomb: New START, Russia and the Politics of Post-Cold War Arms Control

This book is the first study of how President Barack Obama and his administration used the negotiation and ratification of an arms control treaty, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), as a vehicle for advancing one of the president’s primary foreign policy objectives, a reset of US relations with Russia in the early years of his first term of office.

Democracy to Democrazy: A Warning to All Americans

Graham updated the initial book Democrazy to From Democracy to Democrazy: A Warning To ALL Americans as the first version came out a few weeks before the January 6, 2021, attack on Congress and a little over a year before Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine which provided important new material. She expresses the objective of both books as “How the U.S. was caught in an evil, repulsive and dangerous vortex from 2016-2020 and beyond.”

The President

I'd read this Latin American classic in Spanish years ago, but decided to read it again in English in order to share it with a broader audience. Although it was published before I was born, it’s relevant today, as it portrays the damaging psychological impact of a totalitarian government and the brutality it will go through to maintain power—a phenomenon all too real to Guatemalans today.

The Art of Political Murder: Who Killed the Bishop?

The Long Night of White Chickens” was my introduction to the author and I’ve been a fan ever since. His mother is a Catholic Guatemalan, his father Jewish American, and he was born in Boston, so he started off with a very interesting combination of influences. The book is a tense, almost surrealistic detective story which opens windows on the Latin American reality of State Sponsored assassinations, mara youth gangs and organized crime.
