ABANDONED: A JEWISH WIFE'S TRUE STORY
Anonymous
1999 10923 Abandoned: A Jewish wife's true story. A story so troubling that, to this day, the author inists upon remaining anonymous. Barely do we have such access to the inner life of the American Orthodox Jewish community. Many centuries of tradition have insisted that intimate family matters be kept private and away from public scrutiny. In a brave move, opposed by many, the author brings us an insiders's account of a harrowing and painful marriage which simply had to be ended, whatever the costs. Religious scruples and the age-old teachings of traditional Judaism gave way to destructive psychological and emotional abuse by a husband who should have known better. In the fervent hope that other women like herself will be spared her pain and suffering, the author has bared her soul and her story. Women in troubled relationships need to hear of the experience of "One who was there". Women imprisoned in destructive marriages must know that they do have options, that there is hope and healing. Wise advice, drawn from years of tribulation, fill this highly personal account which reaches out to those in need and those who need to know. Mirkov Publications, Inc 0-9648508-3-4 / 9780964850835

O: A PRESIDENTIAL NOVEL
Anonymous
2011 10019113 Let�s start with a paraphrase: I�ve read Primary Colors (1996), and this is no Primary Colors. Clearly, Simon & Schuster was hoping that lightning would strike twice if they were to publish a political novel by Anonymous: a publicity storm would ensue, and everyone would be talking about O. The problem is that Joe Klein, the Anonymous behind Primary Colors, was writing about a president, Bill Clinton, who liked to bonk as much as wonk, which added a salacious edge to that �inside story.� O�s chief personality faults are occasional pettiness, an inflated ego, and three cigarettes a day. Moreover, the first time out, there was the intriguing question of Klein�s motivation. Here, that seems clearer: the author, perhaps a disgruntled Obamaite, seems peeved that the president didn�t live up to the mantle of hope and change, though at times he (or she) suggests that an impatient electorate may be equally to blame. The plot, which imagines the events of the upcoming 2012 election, offers little that�s unexpected. Some of the characters are so obvious�David Axelrod, Arianna Huffington�that Anonymous could just as well have used their names. James Carville makes an appearance as a cadaverous media hound (also fairly obvious). Other characters are composites: the Republican candidate seems to be Mitt Romney, had Mitt Romney ever been a general in the army. Although the author is described as a D.C. insider, there�s not much here that couldn�t have been gleaned from reading, well, The Huffington Post. The flap copy notes that Anonymous has been �in the room with Barack Obama.� A ballroom seems more likely than the Oval Office. about the Author: The author of O has been in the room with Barack Obama and wishes to remain anonymous.

Terrorist Hunter: The Extraordinary Story of a Woman Who Went Undercover to Infiltrate the Radical Islamic Groups Operating in America
Anonymous
2003 15000314 Hardcover. Very Good. 9.3 x 6.4 x 1.2 inches. The author of this gripping account, whose identity, for obvious reasons, must remain secret, has some shocking revelations to make regarding innocuous-sounding Islamic groups that she says serve as fronts for Hamas, Palestine Islamic Jihad and even al-Qaeda; about FBI ineptitude in investigating these groups; and perhaps worst, about government suspicion of those, like herself, who are investigating this network. Some will dismiss as paranoid her claim that there is a Saudi-funded movement to gain "Muslim world domination," yet readers will follow along in fearful fascination as she slowly assembles the puzzle pieces of a complex, interlocking group of organizations and traces their links to terrorist groups and, ultimately, to a "Saudi connection." The author, a researcher at an unnamed research institute in New York City that focuses on the Middle East, has, through her work, become perhaps the leading authority on how these front organizations operate in the U.S.-government agencies come to her for information. Readers will share her nervousness as she attends a Muslim conference with a tape recorder attached to her eight-month-pregnant stomach under her burka or dives into a garbage-filled Dumpster in search of documents. Her personal story is equally dramatic: as a child, she and her Jewish family escaped imprisonment in Iraq after the regime executed her father as a spy for Israel. With her evidence of how reputedly moderate Islamic leaders speak in support of jihad, she will undoubtedly be accused of feeding anti-Muslim fears. Readers will have to absorb her tale and judge for themselves whether her evidence is credible; this should be headed for bestseller lists. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. Product Description: The remarkable memoir of an Iraqi woman who escaped from captivity in Baghdad and became America's leading undercover counter-terrorist expert. Here is the story of an anonymous counter-terrorism expert, a young woman, who, in disguise, has penetrated front groups of anti-American terrorist organizations operating in this country. In this edge-of-the-seat memoir, she chronicles her escape from Iraq via Iran to Israel, following a great tragedy that befell her family at the hands of Saddam Hussein. She also details how she became involved in intelligence gathering for the United States, her adoptive country, while working for an antiterrorism group. With her unique insights into how terrorist groups veil their true operations by various means, she was able to infiltrate and identify dangerous terrorist organizations and entities working undetected in the United States. 'Terrorist Hunter' provides fascinating and shocking information on how federal agencies, chiefly the FBI and the State Depart-ment, repeatedly ignored or mishandled important information she provided. She reveals her role in exposing terrorist supporters who the White House considered to be friends, in preventing the government from funding terrorist activities, and in the deportation of terrorists and their supporters. She also reveals how she discovered a billion-dollar scheme that rich Saudi Arabians set up to filter money to terrorist groups, through charities and businesses in the United States -- information that the FBI sat on for years, until after 9-11.

TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS
Anonymous, Alcoholics
2002 900335 Product Description Originally published in 1952, this classic book is used by A.A. members and groups around the world. It lays out the principles by which A.A. members recover and by which the fellowship functions. The basic text clarifies the Steps which constitute the A.A. way of life and the Traditions, by which A.A. maintains its unity. About the Author American history includes many social movements that aimed to help people stop drinking. There was Prohibition, of course. But there was also the Anti-Saloon League, the American Temperance Society, the Washingtonian Temperance Society, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and more. Only one such movement survived -- Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). AA not only survived, it spread across the world. Today, AA lists its membership at 2,160,013, with 100,766 groups in Africa, Asia, and Europe as well as North and South America. If ever there was evidence that sobriety can be mass-produced, it is in AA. AA began with the chance meeting of two people on May 12, 1935: Bill W., an alcoholic stockbroker from New York, and Bob S., an alcoholic surgeon in Akron, Ohio. Bill got sober through a set of principles that, he felt, had saved his life (ideas that later evolved into the Twelve Steps of AA). He shared those principles with Bob, who never took another drink after that day. Dr. Bob's "dry date" of June 10, 1935 is officially counted as AA's founding. Bill and Bob began working with other alcoholics, helping them achieve sobriety one at a time. And in 1939 the group published the book Alcoholics Anonymous to explain its Twelve Step program of recovery. Last year, sales of that book passed 20 million. Perhaps the best introduction to AA principles is the "preamble" traditionally read at the beginning of a group meeting: Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety. By focusing on that purpose, AA avoids the mistakes of temperance groups that took on a variety of political causes, splintered into factions, and died. "Our focus has prevented us from straying into areas that we don't have experience in," says a member who works in AA's General Service Office. "What we are is alcoholics helping other alcoholics. This has helped us maintain our unity." Elaine McDowell, PhD, chairperson of AA's General Service Board, agrees "the Fellowship's main reservoir of strength is its singleness of purpose. For 66 years the hand of AA has been there for the alcoholic. It works!" AA members engage in a set of activities suggested by the Twelve Steps, such as: **Telling the truth -- that they are addicted and cannot stop drinking on their own. **Admitting and releasing resentments and fears. **Making amends to people they've harmed. **Engaging in prayer and meditation. **Sharing AA principles with others who want to stop drinking. AA members describe their program as spiritual not religious. No creed or ritual is required, and from the beginning AA has welcomed atheists and agnostics. At the same, members seek daily guidance from a Higher Power. That term is defined individually. For some members, it is the God of a church. Other members find their Higher Power in a friend, in nature, in the book Alcoholics Anonymous, in their AA group or any other source of outside help. AA World Services 0-916856-01-1 / 9780916856014
