|  | Attack on America by John Hagee John Hagee explains how terrorism in America is related to the Arab and Jewish struggle for Jerusalem--and why the battle occurring in Jerusalem should be of major concern to Christians around the world. In March of 2001, John Hagee published THE BATTLE FOR JERUSALEM, which warned that the escalating conflict in the Middle East would reach American shores and the American people would not be spared from the violence. On September 11, that horrible prediction came true. Attack on America brings that book up to the minute, answering questions that have risen from the tragedy, including: Why has this happened to America? How should America respond? Is there biblical prophecy that forewarned of this attack? Hagee, a respected Middle East scholar, uses his extensive knowledge of current affairs, history, and biblical teachings to craft the comprehensive book on both what has happened and the centuries old-conflict behind it. He also takes a hard look at what this new step in the struggle will mean for America-and the world-in the days and years to come.

 | What's So Great about America by Dinesh D'Souza Culture critic D`Souza debunks what he sees as the standard liberal charges against the United States--such as that it is decadent and an inheritor of the West`s colonial heritage. He celebrates the American values of liberty, freedom, and individuality, and shows how they argue against such a view. D`Souza regrets that anti-American views seem to dominate in the education system, and that, in a post-September 11 world, it is necessary to speak what he sees as the truth.
