RIGHT IS WRONG

By Arianna Huffington

Knopf, 338 pages, $24.95

Arianna Huffington, who has turned heads with the success of her website, the Huffington Post, uses her political heft to take on the Republican Party. The book's subtitle pretty much says it all: "How the lunatic fringe hijacked America, shredded the Constitution, and made us all less safe (and what you need to know to end the madness)." The media are also on her radar screen, blamed for couching all of America's woes in conservative vs. liberal partisan issues. Gird yourself: Hers is a take-no-prisoners approach.

THE REVOLUTION

By Ron Paul

Grand Central Publishing, 192 pages, $21

Do you miss Ron Paul since he fell off the campaign trail in early March? Here's your chance to reenlist in the Texas congressman's army of fans. This is his call to arms, demanding America's return to the principles on which it was founded and exposing everything he believes is threatening those principles. Real change, he calls it, not the kind hyped in political campaigns.
