Murder in Amsterdam - The Death of Theo van Gogh and the Limits of Tolerance

I ordered this book from Amazon.com based on a review in The Economist. I'm really interested in the he relationship between Islamic fundamentalism and Western liberal values, and to get more insight in the background of the brutal murder on Theo van Gogh in November 2004.

The House - the History of the House of Representatives

The House is a great book about the great story of the U.S. House of Representatives. Robert Remini has done a marvelous job bringing to live the history and development of politics and culture in the House, from its early days in the late 1700s until today.
