I agree that most of them will, I probably shouldn't have put that sentence in there.

"Liberal Fascism" is more of a history lesson drawing facts to prove the authors point about were he believes modern Progressives come from. Not romantic at all.

I'm kind of looking for that kind of "structure" in a political book.

I want to be fair. I read a very conservative book that did a good job on proving that modern Progressive Liberals are from the tree of early socialism. Mussolini, Hitler, Wilson, FDR, etc.

Is "It takes a Village" a good example (by Hillary Clinton)? I am kind of surprised that not many Democrats on this board want to recommend one. I am not going to flame them on this thread. Just looking for some book titles.
How about this one:
Lies (And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them): A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right

Or maybe this one:
Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot
