These 5 Historical Establishment Censored/Ignored Books Deserve a Look-Professor Mark Crispin Miller

Abby interviews NYU Professor Mark Crispin Miller

Note to Fellow DU'ers who remember Professor Miller's work on the "2004 Election and Election Suppression & Voting Machine Manipulation." A Group of us Democrats were thrilled to hear him speak at University of North Carolina/Chapel Hill Campus where he gave a Great Talk on Voting Rights, Presidential Elections and Restoring our Voting Rights after two Stolen Elections way back when in 2000 and 2004.

He's here on Abby Martin's Show talking about "Five Must Read Books."


Professor Mark Crispin Miller is professor of media studies at New York University and the author of the book: Fooled Again, How the Right Stole the 2004 Elections.

Now he's back with a Project to Emphasize Forgotten Books....And it's a GREAT PROJECT and WATCH!

OPEN ROAD MEDIA ANNOUNCES CREATION OF FORBIDDEN BOOKSHELF, A BOLD NEW SERIES OF IMPORTANT BOOKS THAT DISAPPEARED BECAUSE OF THEIR CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT MATTER

PROFESSOR MARK CRISPIN MILLER CURATES AND NEW YORK TIMES BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL EDITOR AND COLUMNIST GRETCHEN MORGENSON WRITES INTRODUCTION TO THE LORDS OF CREATION

(New York, NY—June 10, 2014)—Open Road Media announced today Forbidden Bookshelf, a series of books curated by Professor Mark Crispin Miller of New York University. Forbidden Bookshelf titles fill in the blanks of America’s repressed history by resurrecting books that focused on issues and events that are too often left in the dark, including abortion, organized crime, the CIA, and financial inequality.

The series launches on June 10 with five books: Blowback: America’s Recruitment of Nazis and Its Destructive Impact on Our Domestic and Foreign Policy by Christopher Simpson, The Phoenix Program: America’s Use of Terror in Vietnam by Douglas Valentine, The Search for an Abortionist: The Classic Study of How American Women Coped with Unwanted Pregnancy Before Roe v. Wade by Nancy Howell Lee, Interference: How Organized Crime Influences Professional Football by Dan E. Moldea, and The Lords of Creation: The History of America’s 1 Percent by Frederick Lewis Allen. Each of the first four titles includes a new introduction.

Additional books by I. F. Stone, Gerard Colby, Charlotte Dennett, Kati Marton, Robert Fitch, Bertram Gross, and John Dinges will be released later this summer.

Open Road Media CEO Jane Friedman said, “This list of books is much deserving of renewed attention. The issues they address are as significant today as they were when the books were first published. We believe that we will stimulate new conversation and debate through our intensive and extensive marketing platform.”

There's a scramble on at Amazon and Powells!

We can see the utility of E-books, and besides, many are updated, which is great!
