What Congress is Reading [LISNews.com]
Joel Abrams writes "The Christian Science Monitor today looks at what's currently on Congressional reading lists. .
"Winston Churchill is big on Capitol Hill, among both Democrats and Republicans. So is Kenneth Pollack's new book, 'The Threatening Storm: The Case for Invading Iraq', whose title is derived from Churchill's 'The Gathering Storm'. Not on the must-read list are books like Mark Bowden's 'Black Hawk Down,' a harrowing account of just how grim urban street fights can get, even for today's most elite forces. Nor, judging by interviews and the buzz on Capitol Hill, is there a surge of interest in 'hearts and minds' books on Arab history or the culture of radical Islam." "
