-Four Books and One Theme-

You may have heard of these.

Skipping towards Gomorrah : the seven deadly sins and the pursuit of happiness in America / Dan Savage.
False prophets : the firsthand account of a husband-wife team working for the FBI and living in deepest cover with the Montana Freemen / by Dale and Connie Jakes ; with Clint Richmond.
Coalitions across the class divide : lessons from the labor, peace, and environmental movements / Fred Rose.
Dancing at Armageddon : survivalism and chaos in modern times / Richard G. Mitchell, Jr.

It's one of my regular exercises: Select a number of books (usually 3-5) from the current affairs section of the public library. The choices are unified under a common topic, but with an apparently tenuous connection.

Inevitably, the bond between all works is stronger than it first appeared, and this time was no exception. I can only hope that someday soon, somewhere, this juxtaposition will be important.
