Obama – The Postmodern Coup:
Remember compassionate conservatism and a humble foreign policy – and what happened then...
Authors
Richard Cottrell
Richard Cottrell enjoyed a long career in the British print and broadcast media. As a television journalist specialising in politics and economics he contributed regularly to the national ITV network. He correctly predicted why the Anglo-French Concorde supersonic plane would fail.
In 1979 he was elected as a Conservative in the first direct elections to the European Parliament. Over the next ten years he sat on the parliament’s important committees and published two books, one a polemical attack on the EU’s farming policy (The Sacred Cow) and another (Blood on Their Hands) which extended the inquiry he performed on behalf of the parliament into the murder of British journalist Ann Chapman under the military junta in Greece. His inquiry cleared an innocent man.
He wrote the highly praised landmark Cottrell Report into the activities of pseudo religious cults such as the Moonies and their harmful influences on families and society.
Richard entered politics as an enthusiastic European but turned agnostic “as a result of experience of the inner workings of a profoundly anti-democratic system.”
After Europe he worked as a political advisor to international corporations looking to invest in the European countries queuing to join the EU, notably Poland.
He is married to Diana, who is Polish. They have two daughters. He is the author of Gladio: NATO's Dagger at the Heart of Europe

Stewart Halsey Ross
Stewart Halsey Ross brought a broad education and diversified background to his works. He earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, M.S. in Technical Writing, and a M.S. in American History. He has been a Vice President with a major New York "Business-to-Business" Advertising and Public Relations Agency; was Associate Editor with Consulting Engineer Magazine; was Project Engineer with Pratt & Whitney's nuclear aircraft engine program; and was responsible for the Air Force's precision bombing range at Edwards Air Force Base. His books reflect this in-depth writing and engineering experience. In Strategic Bombing by the U.S. in World War II, Ross mocks the supposed "pickle-barrel" accuracy of the famed Norden bombsight, recalling an incident at EAFB when a "fat man" missed its target by more than a mile. Ross considered himself a "revisionist" historian, choosing an approach contrary to "conventional wisdom." He was not reluctant to take on icons. Ross read widely to bring to his readers authoritative overviews of his topics. His Bibliographies are useful references on their own, and his comprehensive Notes typically run in the many hundreds. Progressive Press is publishing his Propaganda for War and Global Predator. To our deep regret, Stewart Ross passed away at the age of 81 on Oct. 6, 2010. Obituary.
