The Son Who Disappointed Dad: Presidents Who Followed the
Great Ones by William A. Chesterfield, Jr.
This insightful book follows the lives of those Presidents
who followed George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and FDR. Questions are posed
and answered like: What was it like to be in the shadow? Did their wives have
fashion crises? Did they resent their
forerunners and remove all memorabilia from the White House?
They Don’t Belong by Karl K. Kluxton
This chilling futuristic novel tells the story of the
Reactionary Anarchists, a group whose goal is to rid America of all who do not
belong. Their efforts backfire, and only white men are left. In desperation the
men become homosexuals and the race dies out. Mexico invades to create the
state of Mexamerica. This book is a morality tale of bigotry and racism gone
awry.
