America Alone by Mark Steyn. Quick read, funny, and a perspective you never think of or hear about from the Mainstream Media.

 I bought 4 copies as gifts and handed them out to friends as early Christmas presents.

 (America Alone can be to the War on Terror what Thomas Paine's Common Sense was to the Revolutionary War...if enough people read it.)

 A close second in the best Christmas gift department is The Birth of Plenty, by William Bernstein.

(If more non-westerners read a book like this, they would understand what type of institutions their countries lack, and demand internal reform of their governments, rather than blaming external western influences for their various problems.)

The cancer that is the Liberal media can be stopped through Intelligent ideas and aggressive action.
