The creator of TomDispatch, Engelhardt is also the author of Mission Unaccomplished, a collection of remarkably fresh and provocative interviews with some of the most iconoclastic thinkers and activists of our time. These candid conversations -- with people like Howard Zinn, Chalmers Johnson, Cindy Sheehan, Mike Davis, Ann Wright, who retired from the State Department to protest the Iraqi invasion and became "a felon for peace," and Boston Globe columnist James Carroll -- focus on the Bush administration's imperial dreams and brutal realities. It's a great read and makes a great gift. Click here to order online.

SPONSORED MESSAGE
Fight Extremists in South Dakota this Election Day!
The South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families is a coalition of concerned citizens and groups fighting the abortion ban in South Dakota. The ban is a ban on all abortions unless to prevent the death of a woman, and if South Dakota does not repeal it on November 7, it will become law. The extremists will be emboldened and ready to take this effort to every state.
In the next few days, we need to put a new ad on TV to educate undecided voters and tell them that the ban has no exception for women who face dangerous health situations.
Please contribute $10, $25 or $50 to support a woman's right to choose.
