Jill Carroll, a freelance reporter for The Christian Science Monitor, was kidnapped by Iraqi insurgents on January 7, 2006. During 82 days as a hostage, she was moved more than a dozen times, and had closer contact with Sunni Mujahideen than any American who has lived to tell the tale. She cooked with the women. She played with the children. But she feared for her life every day. Carroll's chief Iraqi captor, who was head of an insurgent council organized by Abu Musab al Zarqawi, required her to "interview" him for hours on end. In her last hours of captivity he told her: "Forget about the council. Everything is forbidden. You must forget it all." She couldn't. This is her story. By purchasing Hostage: The Jill Carroll Story, you'll receive the complete 11-part series from the pages of The Christian Science Monitor .

Civilization and Its Enemies is an extraordinary tour de force by America's reigning philosopher of 9/11, Lee Harris. In it, Harris focuses on the next great conflict: the war between the civilized world and the international terrorists who wish to destroy it. Harris's brilliant tour through the stages of civilization, from Sparta to the French Revolution to the present, demonstrates that civilization depends upon brute force, properly wielded by a sovereign. Today, only America can play the role of sovereign on the world stage, by the use of force when necessary. Lee Harris's articles have been hailed by thinkers from across the spectrum. His message is an enduring one that will change the way readers think about the war with Iraq, about terrorism, and about our future.
