America's War on Sex: The Attack on Law, Lust and Liberty

Spotlights the political, legal and civic battles raging in this country against what is arguably our most private and pluralistic right - sexual freedom.
Although Klein does not provide an easy fix to the vexing problems posed by erotophobes, crusaders, the Christian-American Taliban, or religious terrorists, terms not guaranteed to assuage the opposition, he does offer sufficient examples of the war on our fundamental liberties to energize even the most laid-back of his readers. This book will infuriate people on both ends of the political spectrum, if for different reasons.

The Victorious Opposition by Harry Turtledove

One of the things which sets The Victorious Opposition apart from the earlier books is the study of how even honest men opposed to an evil regime can be co-opted by it. While the fate of men like Jefferson Pinkard may be foreseen, the actions of Hipolito Rodriguez, Clarence Potter, or Willie King may come as a surprise. Turtledove has needed to build their characters over the preceding novels in order to make their actions most understandable.
