In these closing days of 2017 we should all seriously consider giving the gift of books, not only as Christmas or Hanukkah presents to family, friends, and colleagues, but as a special benefaction to ourselves for our personal enlightenment, entertainment, and enjoyment. By purchasing them from Amazon we aid our wonderful and educational LewRockwell.com. Here is a list of eclectic works I purchased in this spirit this past year: The Ghost: The Secret Life of CIA Spymaster James Jesus Angleton, by Jefferson Morley; The Progressive Era, by Murray N.
