We are getting close to the last minute holiday shopping crunch – or for you procrastinators the planning stage. Sizes and selections are starting to be a bear. For online shoppers (and there are more of us especially as our lives changed more rapidly due to the pandemic) delivery is now a consideration. Today I’ll make what has become my annual plea to give the gift of knowledge. In the process I’ll reveal tellthetruthonthem.com’s Book of the Year for 2022.

SPECIAL NOTICE – RECOMMENDED READING LIST ADDITION
I just added The Storm Is Here: An American Crucible by Luke Mogelson to the Recommended Reading List. It is the best effort to date combining the extremist influences on American politics and the possibility of a second civil war. It outlines the rise of authoritarianism in America and the danger it poses.
Three “companion” books already on the list are: Fascism by: Madeline Albright, Strongmen by Ruth Ben-Ghiat and How Civil Wars Start by Barbara F. Walter.
SPECIAL NOTICE – RECOMMENDED READING ADDITION
I just added How Civil Wars Start: And How To Stop Them by Barbara F. Walter to the Recommended Reading List.
University of California at San Diego Professor Walter takes a scientific look at the factors that are common in civil wars. Like most Americans I tend to think (or is it hopefully wishing?) that it can’t happen here. The terrifying truth is that it can.
