My friend Thomas Woods, author of the superb [1] Politically Incorrect Guide to American History, has notified me that my book [2] The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) is listed at the tail-end of Wal-Mart's [3] Top 100 Books of 2005.

The book received hardly any published reviews (there were three or four) or other attention (outside of talk radio), but it spent [4] fifteen weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List. I am surprised and grateful that despite the pusillanimity and political correctness of the liberal and conservative mainstream media, people recognized it as a book that would give them the truth. In this is a small sign of hope that a sizeable number of people are not willing to believe the soothing half-truths and distortions currently being peddled by the elites.
