DESCRIPTION:Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement That Shattered the 
 Party\n\nAward-winning journalist and documentary videographer Max 
 Blumenthal has become one of the most important journalists writing about 
 how the Religious Right fringe movement became the Republican Party 
 mainstream.  Whether it was his revelation of Sarah Palins involvement with 
 a Kenyan pastor who boasted of epic battles with witches, or his expose of 
 the eccentric theocratic multimillionaire behind Californias Prop 8 
 anti-gay-marriage initiative, Blumenthals reporting goes almost instantly 
 viral, shocks thousands, has been cited everywhere from MSNBC to the New 
 York Times, and has landed him interviews on Fresh Air and The Rachel 
 Maddow Show. \n\nRepublican Gomorrah -- Blumenthal's remarkable, muckraking 
 debut -- is an expose of the dysfunction, scandal, and crime from the heart 
 of the Religious Right, the fringe movement that has come to define the 
 Republican Party. Blumenthal describes the people and the beliefs that 
 establishment Republicans, like John McCain, have to kowtow to if they have 
 any hope of running for President, and how moderates have been 
 systematically purged from party ranks. He shows why the unqualified Sarah 
 Palin was the party's only logical choice and how her most fanatical 
 supporters will be setting the strategy for the Republican assault on the 
 Obama administration.  \n\nMax Blumenthal is one of the most constantly 
 cited young liberal journalists in America and is regularly featured on the 
 Rachel Maddow Show, Democracy Now and the Countdown with Keith Olbermann. 
 His articles and video documentaries have appeared in The Daily Beast, The 
 Nation, The Huffington Post, Salon.com, Al Jazeera English and many other 
 publications. He is a correspondent for The Daily Beast, a research fellow 
 for Media Matters for America and a Puffin Writing Fellow for the Nation 
 Institute. Visit him at www.maxblumenthal.com\n
