DESCRIPTION:Hosted by David Talbot\n\nwith Rebecca Gordon, Nicholas Schou, and 
 Alexander Zaitchik\n\nCity Lights celebrates an exciting new publishing 
 venture!\n\nOur body politic has grown sluggish and dull-witted, stuffed 
 with a steady diet of junk media and corporate propaganda. It's time to 
 light a fire under this slumbering giant, American democracy. It's time to 
 think dangerous thoughts. Enter Hot Books. The Hot Books series will seek 
 to live up to its name – offering tightly-written books (no longer than 
 40,000 words) that passionately address the most burning issues of our day. 
 Some Hot Books will take the form of argument and storytelling. Others will 
 be works of investigative journalism, trying to fill the void left by too 
 many newspapers and magazines in the digital age, when in-depth reporting 
 and editorial budgets have been severely cut back. Whether they are searing 
 collections of essays or works of crusading journalism, Hot Books will draw 
 inspiration from that great prophetic tradition of speaking truth to power 
 and enlightening the public. Hot Books authors will dare to speak the 
 unspeakable.\n\nThree new books are celebrated:\n\nAmerican Nuremberg: The 
 US Officials Who Should Be Prosecuted for Post 9/11 War Crimes - by Rebecca 
 Gordon\n\nSpooked: How the CIA Manipulates the Media and Hoodwinks 
 Hollywood - by Nicholas Schou\n\nThe Gilded Rage: A Wild Ride Through 
 Donald Trump's America - by Alexander Zaitchik\n\nDavid Talbot dreamed up 
 Hot Books in partnership with Tony Lyons, publisher of the independent book 
 company Skyhorse. Talbot is the founder and former editor-in-chief of 
 Salon. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller, Brothers: The 
 Hidden History of the Kennedy Years, the national bestseller, Season of the 
 Witch, and, most recently, The Devil’s Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA 
 and the Rise of America’s Secret Government. Talbot was a senior editor 
 at Mother Jones magazine, and his writing has appeared in Rolling Stone, 
 The New Yorker, Time, The Guardian and other publications. He lives in San 
 Francisco.\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/09/06/18790914.php
