Rowman & Littlefield Uncollecting Cheever: The Family of John Cheever vs. Academy Chicago Publishers
Ten years ago, publishers, authors, scholars, and the reading public watched anxiously the results of two lawsuits involving the family of John Cheever, famed short story writer, and Academy Chicago Publishers, a small publishing house. At stake was not only a collection of Cheever's lesser-known short stories, valued for their literary merit and historical value, but also the definition of intellectual property. In a dramatic re-telling, Anita Miller draws us into the case, creating vivid portraits of the participants and the tensions between them while also shedding light on key issues of our time.

Academy Chicago Publishers Peculiar People: The Story of My Life
These days, hardly anyone remembers Augustus John Cuthbert Hare (1834-1903). But in his prime, the late Victorian age, his name was on the lips of anyone who mattered. He was a travel writer, a story teller and memoirist of the first order, and his work is a fascinating record of a lost way of life amongst the strangest upper classes of English society. Hare's 6-volume autobiography was published between 1899-1903 in England; and this is a 1-volume condensation of this remarkable work.

Academy Chicago Publishers George W. Bush Vs. the U.S. Constitution: The Downing Street Memos and Deception, Manipulation, Torture, Retribution, Coverups in the Iraq War and Illegal Domestic Spying
In July, 2005, Representative John Conyers, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, commissioned this report after President Bush failed to answer a letter from 122 members of Congress and a half million Americans about the truth of the Downing Street Memos. This book is replete with evidence that the run-up to the Iraq War was laced with Administration lies and distortions, to make it appear that the US was threatened. As the Downing Street Memos say: ""...the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy""...This unique compilation also includes information about torture in Abu Ghraib, Guantanomo and other detention centres in direct violation of the Geneva Convention, as well as information about unauthorised domestic spying by the National Security Agency. Ambassador Joseph C Wilson - author of the ""New York Times"" best-seller ""The Politics of Truth"" - was sent to Niger by the CIA to investigate the Bush Administration charge that Saddam Hussein had bought 'yellow cake' for his alleged nuclear weapons program. Mr. Wilson ascertained that there was no truth to the charge. His wife, Valerie Plame, a career undercover operative for the CIA, was later outed by members of the White House staff in apparent retaliation for Ambassador Wilson's finding. Readers of this crucial report will understand at last that the erosion of Americans' rights as to war, privacy, and freedom of speech, presents a threat to our security and our liberty.
