Liaisons with Culture and Sex
By Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair
A steaming collection of essays on sex, music, art, architecture and culture from the editors and writers of CounterPunch, including a trip inside the Kinsey Institute, an exposition on the links between Angelina Jolie and the French Revolution, the transcripts of the stage tapes from Bob Dylan's infamous electric performance at Newport in 1964 that prove they weren't booing him but the ridiculous Peter Yarrow, and much, much more.

The
Politics of Anti-Semitism
By Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair
Is this the most controversial book of 2003? It was denounced by liberals and neocons alike, numerous reviews in mainstream papers were quashed by editors. Find out what the storm is all about. There's no more explosive topic in American public life today than the issue of Israel, its treatment of Palestinians and its influence on American politics. Yet the topic is one that is so hedged with anxiety, fury and fear, that honest discussion is often impossible. The Politics of Anti-Semitism lifts this embargo.

Imperial
Crusades
Iran, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia
By Alexander Cockburn and Jeffrey St. Clair
(Published
by Verso)
Imperial Crusades chronicles the lies that are now returning almost daily to haunt the official liars in Washington and London, the secret agendas and the under-reported carnage of these three wars. It is a ripely vivid, blow-by-blow history of how the wars came to be, who shilled for them and the consequences of the destruction.

Been Brown So Long
It Looked Like Green to Me:
the Politics of Nature
By Jeffrey St. Clair
(Published by Common Courage
Press)
"St. Clair is the Seymour Hersh of environmental journalism."--Josh Frank
An unsparing history of the war against the Earth. Been Brown So Long It Looked Like Green to Me is an unnerving history of the environmental politics under Clinton and Bush. St. Clair shows how the compromises of the Clinton era, from the hollowing of the Endangered Species Act to the loosening of rules on toxic chemicals, opened the door to the wholesale rape-and-pillage of the Bush years.
