“America under fire” captures the essence of this week’s nonfiction selections in the Newsmax Rising Bestsellers. One describes what the author calls a con job the Democrat Party has been running for decades, while another explains how the federal bureaucracy sabotaged President Donald Trump’s first term in office. Still another shows how the administrative state has been hard at work eroding American individual freedoms, and a final offering describes in words and photos how far-left rioters have attacked America. For fiction there is the latest doings of Chicago’s favorite fictional female cop.
