Hardback. Zustand: Good. Bestselling author William Bennett addresses the central social issue of our time--the deline of the family--in a book as intellectually provocative and politically controversial as his landmark The Death of Outrage. Our recent economic prosperity has masked the devastation of the American family, which is now under seige as never before. From the dramatic rise in illegitimacy, divorce, and single parenthood to the call for the recognition of gay marriages, the traditional nuclear family is being radically challenged and undermined, along with the moral and legal consensus that once supported it. Now in The Broken Hearth, William Bennett, America's foremost conservative spokesperson on matters of family values, presents a strong, well-reasoned, and informed defense of the traditional family. Interweaving history, anthropology, law, social science, and the teachings of Western religions, he argues that marriage between a man and a woman and the creation of a permanent, loving, and nurturing environment for children is a great historical achievement, one that should not be lightly abandoned in favor of more progressive arrangements. Bennett displays his ability to combine fearless conviction, acute insight, and respect for his adversaries in thorough, balanced, and enlightening discussions of single parenthood, cohabitation, gay marriage, and other trends that are undercuttingthe ideal of the family as the essential foundation of society. Looking closely at the concerns and questions that divide America, Bennett provides a powerful affirmation of family life and the values and benefits it bestows on individuals and on society as a whole.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. As the full extent of Bill Clinton's misconduct in office became clear to the American people, the public outrage that was expected did not materialise. William J. Bennett analyses the meaning of the Clinton scandals and argues that with enormous skill, the President and his advisors have constructed a defensive wall built of bricks left over from Watergate: diversion, half truth, equivocation, and sophistry. It is a wall that remains unbreached. Until now. In THE DEATH OF OUTRAGE, Bennett dismantles this wall, brick by evasive brick. He shows how the Presidents private actions, far from being irrelevent to the conduct of public affairs, have severely restricted his ability to govern. Bennett agues that Clinton's unprecedented recklessness is evident in everything from influence peddling to sexual misconduct and that these scandals, far from being a tabloid creation, are inextricably inter-linked with the President's corruption. Bill Bennett explains why presidential character matters; why allegations of sexual misconduct need to be taken seriously; why reasoned judgement is the mark of a healthy democracy; and why the ends don't justify the means. Explosive and hard-hitting, powerful in its logic, carefully reasoned in its conclusions, THE DEATH OF OUTRAGE allows the reader to repudiate the deep corruption of Bill Clinton, and the corrupting arguments made in his defense.…
