Duarte
Occasionally in a nation's history, a leader of exceptional ability arises at a moment of crisis and changes that nation's destiny. Jose Napoleon Duarte, the first truly elected president of El Salvador, is such a man. And the history he is making is the establishment of democracy in an impoverished, communist-threatened Central American country. This is Duarte's own book--the full, candid, emotional autobiography of his twenty-five-year struggle against the two tyrannies that threaten his people: the violent Marxist guerrillas and the extreme Right, both fighting to turn back the clock.

Exodus from Capitalism
The purpose of this book is voter education. Every thinking person realizes that we face serious problems: increasing disparity between rich and poor, a shrinking middle class, disintegration of the family, teen pregnancy, cultural subversion, crime and drugs, lack of adequate healthcare, environmental damage, repeated engagement in foreign wars, and a national debt approaching $6 trillion. These problems did not develop overnight, and they will not be resolved overnight. To paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, "Democracy requires informed voters." It is the central theme of this book that the source of these problems is the capitalist system of economy that benefits the few wealthy at the expense of the many workers.
