To Hell in a Handbasket is a chilling account of how Jimmy Carter s abandonment of a longtime U.S. ally in favor of a murderous mullah thirty years ago enabled the Islamization of Iran and how Barack Obama s current oblivion to and appeasement of the radical Muslim world are helping to Islamize the rest of the Middle East. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ruthie Blum, who immigrated to Israel from the United States in 1977, was a columnist, interviewer, and senior editor at The Jerusalem Post for two decades. She blogs for Israel Hayom. PRAISE: Whether Barack Obama is another Jimmy Carter is unfortunately not just academic speculation. Carter was bad enough, especially in the Middle East, but Obama is close on his heels. A second Obama term could well bring a nuclear Iran, a militantly anti-Israeli Egypt, and the overthrow of the pro-American Arab monarchies. The United States needs to wake up to what is happening, and Ruthie Blum s book is just the ticket. Let s hope she doesn t have to write a sequel. John Bolton Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations The esteemed writer and commentator Ruthie Blum has produced a timely and essential account of President Obama s betrayal of a longtime U.S. ally, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, and its consequences for America s vital national-security interests. Just as important, by placing Obama s mishandling of the current pan-Arab populist wave against the backdrop of then-president Jimmy Carter s betrayal of longtime U.S. ally the shah of Iran, Blum demonstrates the timeless truth of George Santayana s lament that those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them.

And marriage is forever! Will her parents allow her to reconsider? Absolutely not. War hero, Devlin Brookes, is ready to marry and thinks Sophia Babineaux might be the one.

"While it may be catnip for the media to play up America as a has-been, Josef Joffe, a ... German commentator and Stanford University academic, [proposes] that Declinism is not a cold-eyed diagnosis but a device in the style of the ancient prophets ... Gloom is a prophecy that must be believed so that it will turn out wrong. Joffe [posits that] 'economic miracles' that propelled the rising tide of challengers flounder against their own limits. Hardly confined to Europe alone, Declinism has also been an especially nifty career builder for American politicians, among them Kennedy, Nixon, and Reagan, who all rode into the White House by hawking 'the end is near'"--Dust jacket flap.
