Fire Breathing Liberal: How I Learned to Survive (and Thrive) in the Contact Sport of Congress
by Robert Wexler with David Fisher
The House of Representatives was never intended to be non-partisan, but arguably never before in our history has it been run in such a partisan manner. For the last decade under Republican domination and the rule of Newt Gingrich and Tom Delay, Democrats have been excluded almost completely from the legislative process. The ensuing reality is that our government doesn't work at all the way we have been taught - when it even does.
Fire Breathing Liberal is the inside story of Congress as seen through the events of the last decade. Using his own experiences as well as relating stories of Democratic colleagues who have fought the Republicans, Robert Wexler tells the whole truth about congress, an institution damaged by partisan politics, and proposes a radical transformation.
Interwoven in Wexler’s personal and political stories are some close up looks at high profile figures he has known, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, George Bush, Al Gore, Colin Powell, John McCain, Jeb Bush, Katherine Harris and more.

The War Magician
by David Fisher
Jasper Maskelyne was a world famous magician and illusionist in the 1930s. When war broke out, he volunteered his services to the British Army and was sent to Egypt where the desert war had just begun. He used his skills to save the vital port of Alexandria from German bombers and to 'hide' the Suez Canal from them. He invented all sorts of camouflage methods to make trucks look like tanks and vice versa. On Malta he developed 'the world's first portable holes': fake bomb craters used to fool the Germans into thinking they had hit their targets. His war culminated in the brilliant deception plan that won the Battle of El Alamein: the creation of an entire dummy army in the middle of the desert.
