Right-Wing Populism in America: Too Close for Comfort by Chip Berlet, ISBN 1572305622
Right-wing militias and other anti-government organizations have received heightened public attention since the Oklahoma City bombing. While such groups are often portrayed as extremists, the values they espouse have influenced mainstream politics and culture far more than most Americans realize. This important volume offers an in-depth look at the historical roots and current landscape of right-wing populism in the United States.
Inside the West Wing by Paul Challen, ISBN 1550224689

Through its snappy dialogue, Washington-insider references and stellar acting, the show, produced and written by Aaron Sorkin of The American President and A Few Good Men fame, looks at U.S. politics like no other TV series has before.
As a testament to the show's success, it copped nine Emmy Awards - an all-time record - in September 2000. Its all-star cast, which includes Martin Sheen, Rob Lowe, Alison Janney, and John Spencer, is regularly praised in the press, and the second-season-opener, "Who Shot President Bartlet", aired to record ratings in the fall of 2000.
In Inside the West Wing, author Paul Challen takes a detailed look at this hugely popular series: how it's put together, what ideas and political themes drive its plots, and ultimately, why it's so popular. Through in-depth interviews, commentary from political and entertainment-industry...

Children of a New Fatherland: Germany's Post-War Right-Wing Politics by Jan Herman Brinks, ISBN 1860644589
This is a powerful study of the growth of the right wing in a reunited Germany. Setting this in its historical context, and especially in the context of the end of the Cold War, the author examines the implosion of communism and of the growth of xenophobia and right-wing politics in modern and contemporary Europe. The backdrop of 20th century German history and of Germany's position as the European regional super-power make this book an especially important and topical contribution.
