Joe Conason has written two books well worth reading. The earlier of the two volumes is entitled "The Hunting of the President: The Ten-Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton." It covers the decade long assault upon Clinton by right wingers intent upon destroying his presidency. I have a lot of trouble with Clinton, as does Conason, which makes this even more eye-opening. The events and hectics outlined in this book make even more sense given the current administrations operating procedures.

The second book is "Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth." Lots of little media gems in this one, plus a straightforward and coherent defense of liberalism.
