Need some ammunition for the culture war.
Anybody have any suggestions?
If you are looking for ammunition in the culture war, why novels?
I almost bit, but then I notice that you have been a member since today. ZOT
If you enjoy psychological thrillers that occasionally border on science fiction, try Dean Koontz. He throws a zinger or two at nanny-statists and the collectivist mentality in virtually every novel he’s ever written. The novels themselves are rarely overt as far as politics, though.

The Art of War- By Sun Tzu.
It’s not a novel, but if you’re looking for ammunition in the culture war, particularly with regards to social issues, you’ll find an entire arsenal in Robert Bork’s “Slouching Towards Gomorrah”.

Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America
by Brigitte Gabriel
Reviews:
“Brigitte Gabriel eloquently reminds America what is truly at stake in this struggle against terrorism: our families, our way of life, and our hopes. Ms. Gabriel's personal account of her own experience is riveting, compelling and spellbinding. This is a must read for the entire American public . . . This book contains monumental revelations that will shock and disturb you. But it is also a story of an indomitable spirit--Brigitte's-- that will move you.” --Steve Emerson, author of American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Amongst Us, Executive Director, the Investigative Project on Terrorism
"A compelling and captivating personal story with a powerful lesson about threats to freedom in our time."--R. James Woolsey, Director of Central Intelligence, 1993-95
“Brigitte Gabriel's story is at once intensely personal and possessing global significance . . . the story of her family and her childhood encapsulates the threat that faces the entire free world today. Brigitte Gabriel's words should be read, and studied carefully, by all the law enforcement and government officials of the West -- as well as by everyone who values freedom.” -- Robert Spencer, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)
“Because They Hate should be read by all to understand radical Islam. Brigitte . . . . This book gives dire warning of what is to come if the democratic and Western world does not take responsible action to protect its people and societies. The United States is the primary target as Islamic Radicalism attempts to spread its worldwide dominance.”-- Paul E. Vallely, Maj. General US Army (Ret.), FOX News Channel Military Analyst, and coauthor of Endgame: The Blueprint for Victory in the War on Terror
It's good ammo!
The story of a career DA in Los Angeles, and his tranformation from a liberal to a conservative by seeing the system from the inside.
Terry Pratchett’s ‘Discworld’ satires are numerous, delightful and fundamentally conservative.
