Before gaining fame as a celebrated author and winning the Nobel Prize in 1954, Ernest M. Hemingway honed his skills as a dedicated journalist. In the spring of 1923, he served as a special correspondent for the Toronto Star, traveling to the occupied Ruhr Valley to produce a compelling series of 10 articles, now compiled in Dispatches from the Ruhr.

In “The Remnant," Jonah Goldberg enlists a “Cannonball Run”-style cast of stars, has-beens, and never-weres to address the most pressing issues of the day. Is America doomed? Has liberalism failed?
