BOOK WORLD - September 19, 2010

A bit more than half-way through September, and not much new on the politics roundup. Bacevich, the retired U.S. Army colonel, may be seeing his book bounce back on the list thanks to the withdrawl of U.S. combat troops from Iraq and all that that entails.
Look for President Jimmy Carter's new memoir to hit the list next week after its Monday publication. Though folks are getting a taste already courtesy of the former president himself, even though the book is supposedly highly embargoed.
