By: Norman Mailer     
Beginning with his debut masterpiece, The Naked and the Dead, Norman Mailer has repeatedly told the truth about war. Why Are We at War? returns Mailer to the gravity of the battlefield and the grand hubris of the politicians who send soldiers there to die. First published in the early days of the Iraq War, Why Are We at War? is an explosive argument about the American quest for empire that still carries weight today. Scrutinizing the Bush administration’s words and actions, Mailer unleashes his trademark moral rigor: “Because democracy is noble, it is always endangered. . . . To assume blithely that we can export democracy into any country we choose can serve paradoxically to encourage more fascism at home and abroad.”

Cat liked it too much
Color: Gold
This clutch was very nice and classy-perfect for a gala I was attending. However I never got to use it because within 5 min of opening the package my cat ate the bottom corners off. So apparently he really liked it too. 5 stars for purse. 0 stars for cat.

Cute & comfortable
Size: 10.5, Color: Ande Brown
I bought these for a recent vacation because I wanted a pair of brown heeled sandals (my skin tone) that would coordinate with a lot of different outfits and be comfortable enough to walk in. These fit the bill. I’m happy with my purchase.
