Synopsis: Once again Robbins, author of Diet for a New America (Stillpoint, 1987), gently nudges us into an awareness of the wasteful and unhealthy consequences of the consumption of animal products. Synthesizing a large body of social , ecological, economic, and nutritional information into a compact guide to vegetarianism, he establishes a direct relationship between the demand for meat, eggs, and dairy products and the increase in world hunger. He then debunks the many nutritional myths about vegetarianism, stresses its health benefits, and exposes the commercial interests that shape our eating habits. Finally, he provides us with a wide range of vegan recipes developed by Jia Patton and some of the nation's best vegetarian restaurants, as well as brief information on choosing where to shop and concise descriptions of commonly used whole foods. With its social, philosophical and spiritual orientation balanced by its wealth of practical detail and scientific documentation, Robbins's book is sure to be popular in health-conscious communities.

"While many have tried, few have succeeded in telling such a complete and thorough history of my dad's greatest triumph: the downfall of the Soviet Union. A fascinating read - with all of the passion, intrigue, and fairness he would have wanted - The Crusader is unlike any other book about him." - Michael Reagan. "The Crusader is a masterpiece, painstakingly researched, filled with new evidence on Reagan no one has seen, including shockers from Soviet files, freedom-of-information requests, and freshly declassified, heretofore unknown documents." - Michael Novak, author and United States Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission 1981-1982. "Although I served as Reagan's Soviet adviser in 1981 and 1982, there is information here of which I had been ignorant. Highly recommended as the story of one of the most dramatic episodes of modern history." - Richard Pipes, professor of Russian history, Emeritus, Harvard University. "A groundbreaking reassessment of Ronald Reagan's life and presidency, exploring his lifelong struggle - and ultimate victory - against the tyranny of Communism. In this dramatic meditation on the life of Ronald Reaagan, historian Paul Kengor presents an account of the fortieth president that has never been written - one that details Reagan's campaign against the Soviet Union, which lasted for more than forty years. Tracing Reagan's anti-Communist sentiment to his days as president of the Screen Actors Guild, Kengor illuminates how this experience first emboldened the actor to speak out against the oppression of the Soviet Union and describes Reagan's multifaceted efforts to prevent Communism from taking hold in Hollywood. Ultimately hs SAG tenure paved the way for his burgeoning political career, which, from its inception, had but one purpose: the end of Communism. Utilizing reams of recently declassified documents, Kengor assembles a striking mosaic of Reagan's words and actions that toppled the Soviet Union. From Reagan's covert support of the rebels who defeated the Soviets in Afghanistan to his secret oil collusion with Saudi Arabia that devastated the Soviet economy, Kengor reveals how Reagan's eight years in office did more to bring down the Soviet Union than any single administration in the history of the Cold War. With painstaking detail, he also explains Reagan's crucial move to escalate the arms race with the Kremlin, a decision that, though politically unpopular, proved vital to the Soviets' eventual downfall. Revisiting many of the administration's principal characters, Kengor speaks with the individuals who helped shape foreign policy under Reagan. These testimonies give unfettered access into the hearts and minds of those closest to Reagan, revealing how this group translated Reagan's ideas into a comprehensive strategy to destroy the Soviet Union. In addition, Kengor delves into never-before-studied Soviet documents and propaganda, uncovering how the other side perceived Reagan's advances and attempted to counter his progress with its unique brand of disinformation. Also told here is an incendiary revelation of the liberal American politician who reportedly reached out to the Soviets to derail Reagan's 1984 bid for reelection. With unparalleled research, this fascinating book tells the story of a man who believed that it was his responsibility to save the world from Soviet oppression. It's a story that demonstrates how one American's fight ended the 20th century's longest war. It's a story of one man who changed history. It's the story of a crusader." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
