8/24-Richard Lowry
Barry's guest tonight is Richard Lowry who is an internationally recognized military historian and author.
After years of researching, interviewing and writing; Richard S. Lowry has revealed the horrifying details of the fight to free Fallujah in his new book, New Dawn: The Battles for Fallujah. American soldiers, sailors and Marines risked their lives time after time to insure the safety of the few civilians remaining in the city. The fighting was bloody as Coalition troops moved street-to-street, house-to-house and room-to-room.
Time, and time again, brave men entered darkened rooms not knowing if they would find a cowering Iraqi family or an incensed insurgent waiting to kill an American. Time, and time again, young Americans placed their lives on the line in darkened doorways and many fell victim to enemy gunfire.
Nine Navy Crosses and twenty-two Silver Stars were awarded for acts of heroism during the Fallujah fighting. Now, you can read the stories of these brave men in New Dawn: The Battles for Fallujah.
Lowrey's latest book, New Dawn: The Battles for Fallujah, (Savas Beatie LLC, May, 2010), has been nominated for the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in History and the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation's coveted Wallace M. Greene, Jr. award. Richard has previously published the award winning Marines in the Garden of Eden (Berkley Caliber, 2006), The Gulf War Chronicles (iUniverse, 2003 and iUniverse Star, 2008), and US Marine in Iraq. Additionally, he contributed to Small Unit Actions (United States Marine Corps History Division, 2008).
In 2006, Marines in the Garden of Eden won the Silver Medal for history from the Military Writers Society of America. The Gulf War Chronicles also received recognition from MWSA in 2006 and has achieved Editor's Choice, Reader s Choice and STAR distinction from iUniverse. In 2009, "Perfect Valor," a documentary film which Richard helped to produce, received the best feature documentary award at the GI Film Festival,

8/23-Barry Farber and Political Writer Bob Unruh
Bob Unruh is a staff writer for World Net Daily. He has written for various newspapers and spent 27 years working for the Associated Press.
Tonight’s interview with Barry will focus on a recent article about the superintendent of the Arizona Department of Public Education who says his agency will consider a refusal by the school district in Tucson to videotape its "Raza studies" classes as evidence the district is "deliberately" concealing its agenda.
The state had asked Tucson, in view of a new state law that takes effect at the end of this year that bans promoting to students "the overthrow of the United States government" and other issues, to record its "Raza" classes this fall to document what is being taught.
No, said Tucson officials.
