The fall of the U.S. intelligence agencies from being Cold War heroes to tools of leftist politics is one of the top offerings in this week’s Newsmax Rising Bestsellers, while another provides America with a roadmap to return to its traditional role as leader of the free world. Off the path off politics, another author gives Americans the baby steps necessary to avoid financial ruin in troubling economic times and a final nonfiction selection tells of the uplifting stories of sports figures that can serve as role models. And in the fiction realm, there is the latest police drama from the keyboard of one of America’s favorite novelists.
“Random in Death: An Eve Dallas Novel,” by J. D. Robb (St. Martin’s Press)
This is the 58th installment of J.D. Robb’s No. 1 New York Times-bestselling “In Death” series of Eve Dallas novels. It opens when the best night in the life of a 16-year-old girl named Jenna turns into the last night of her life after she’s injected with a toxic substance at a crowded nightclub. Dallas searches for a pattern, a reason the girl was targeted, and comes up empty. That worries her, because she knows that if the murder was random, more are likely to come. “Fans of the ‘In Death’ series know that Dallas is smart, persistent, and that a stellar team of investigators have her back,” wrote Janet Webb, reviewing the book for Criminal Element. “It may seem that the two murders are ‘random in death,’ but Dallas weaves together the most minuscule of clues to develop a case and find a killer. As always, the latest ‘In Death’ is unputdownable.” [Fiction]
“Big Intel: How the CIA and FBI Went from Cold War Heroes to Deep State Villains,” by J. Michael Waller (Regnery)
Back in the day, the FBI and CIA were agencies many saw as fighting for American values and interests both here and abroad but have since devolved into something unfamiliar. Instead of fighting for common principles, many have come to gaze upon them as undermining and opposing those with the “wrong” political views. They’ve become a tool of the pollical left, according to the J. Michael Waller, a former intelligence operative and instructor at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School. “There were a few good men who attempted to fight this growing menace, but it has now ultimately taken root in Washington and across the nation,” wrote Amazon reviewer Hrvoje M. “Entire agencies are so corrupted they need to be abolished, and others, reformed. If this isn’t dealt with soon, it won’t matter who is president, and we’ll face tyranny at home. A must-read!” [Nonfiction]
“Breaking Free From Broke: The Ultimate Guide to More Money and Less Stress,” by George Kamel (Ramsey Press)
Since Jan. 20, 2021, America has become “the land of the free and the home of the broke.” Enter George Kamel in his new book, with a foreword by radio financial advice consultant Dave Ramsey. “Breaking Free” comes at an auspicious time, in this spiraling inflationary age of Bidenomics, and is now a Publishers Weekly No. 1 national bestseller.
“Breaking Free” will offer readers solutions to help you break free from:
- Credit cards and credit scores;
- Student and car loans;
- Mortgage mistakes;
- Investing traps;
- Marketing and consumerism.
“If you’ve avoided Dave Ramsey financial advice because you felt like he just couldn’t relate to younger generations, this is the book for you,” wrote Andrea Ritman for GoodReads. “If you’re a diehard Ramsey fan and follower of his Baby Steps plan, this is also the book for you. George’s trademark snark and humor shines through, and his advice goes beyond the big picture of financial goals and really gives a step-by-step plan for getting there.” [Nonfiction]
“The Last Best Hope: A History of American Realism,” by John Hulsman (Whitefox Publishing)
In this, John Hulsman draws upon his years in Washington and historical analysis, including the populist politics of Andrew Jackson that serves as the Republican base, and Thomas Jefferson’s libertarianism, to give America a roadmap away from more than three decades of liberal foreign policy. The ultimate goal is to return America into that constitutional republic that Benjamin Franklin warned us we may not be able to maintain. “Hulsman does an excellent job articulating how each of these decisions were made with considerations to realism and how often the U.S. national interest is neglected by decision makers, who care more about public opinion and who have a higher view on their ability to always get what they want,” wrote Ted Tyler in his GoodReads review. “This is a great intellectual history that will appeal to center-right folks and even some progressives who will admire the inclusion of FDR and Kennedy.” [Nonfiction]
“Sports Role Models: Book 3 Perfect,” by Ph.D. Joseph M Hoedel (Character Development and Leadership)
Sports figures can do more than just offer us a few hours of entertainment on a Sunday afternoon. Both players and coaches can serve as role models through their “never-say-die” performance on the court, the rink, the diamond, or the gridiron, illustrated in 26 different sports. “My grand kids will love this book.,” wrote Cynthia for GoodReads “They are all involved in school sports. I want them to read about role models in all aspects. This is ideal for them. Some of the role models were new to me, which fascinated me. I thought I was fairly rounded in sports figures. Great gift idea! Thanks.” [Nonfiction]
