Working class myself. Love books- good books. Through recomendations by various Freepers, I have purchased a goodly number of them. I doubt I would have heard of them otherwise. One mention every so often, might be appropriate.

The New Dealers' War.
F.D.R. And The War Within World War II.
Thomas Fleming:Basic Books 2001.

The struggle to get rid of Vice President Henry Wallace in 1944, by the inner echelon of the Democratic Party, indicates how that party has changed. FDR was coming up for a fourth term. He indicated that the democratic procedures should be followed. Wallace would have to present himself at the convention. The successful nominee was Harry S Truman. Wallace too radical of a socialist. Fifty years too early for him.

Blacklisted By History
The Untold Story Of Senator Joe McCarthy.
And His Fight Against America's Enemies.
M.Stanton Evans.
Crown Forum. New York 2007.

A superbly researched book. Again and again, the perfidy of the liberal press and politicians is shown. Yes, McCarthy was abrasive, yes, he did make errors.

A patriot and proven out by actual records, not just innuendo. Yet, the liberals still use him as a bogeyman. They have not got the common decency to re-evaluate that time and it's ramifications. The lesson here is that they still have not changed.
