If you haven\u2019t encountered this column before, we do things a little differently than most year-end books lists. The books below aren\u2019t necessarily books that came out in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Rather, they\u2019re just books Federalist staff and contributors happened to read this year, regardless of when they came out, and want to recommend. As usual, the selection is quite eclectic, and something for almost every adventurous reader made the list.<\/p>\n<p> David Harsanyi <\/p>\n<p>Anyone grappling to better understand the violence plaguing Eastern Europe should read Orlando Figes\u2019 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Yd9KJw\">The Story of Russia<\/a>.\u201d The author of a brilliant cultural history, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UOjsiI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Natasha\u2019s Dance<\/a>\u201d (among many others), examines the mythologies and historical roots that shaped the modern Russian psyche. And the indispensable \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FQmK0y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Not One More Inch: America, Russia, and the Making of Post-Cold War Stalemate<\/a>\u201d by M. E. Sarotte is a history of the blunders and miscalculations of the post-Communist world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FtnFTl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe<\/a>\u201d by Matthew Gabriele and David M. Perry might not be the first book to debunk the conventional view of a \u201cdark\u201d age, but it is one of the best. Andrew Roberts, biographer of Napoleon and Winston Churchill, is back with the excellent \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Bz8yXn\">The Last King of America: The Misunderstood Reign of George III<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Continetti\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Pm0DlS\">The Right: The Hundred-Year War for American Conservatism<\/a>\u201d is an engaging reminder that the internecine battles the right faces are nothing new.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UWfXa2\">Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet<\/a>\u201d by Marian L. Tupy and Gale L. Pooley debunks many of the Malthusian myths that still plague our contemporary politics. And I read \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Wg4jI1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Human Compatible: Artificial Intelligence and the Problem of Control<\/a>\u201d by Stuart Russell, a (somewhat!) accessible book on the science of artificial intelligence, to be better prepared for the robot apocalypse. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YhYYBQ\">Three New Deals: Reflections on Roosevelt\u2019s America, Mussolini\u2019s Italy, and Hitler\u2019s Germany, 1933-1939<\/a>\u201d by Wolfgang Schivelbusch might be 15 years old, but it details the similarities in the authoritarian ideas, aesthetics, and economic statism that were adopted across the Western world in the 1930s \u2014 ideas that are again gaining traction on left and right.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of \u201cThe Godfather\u201d \u2014 and what kind of patriot isn\u2019t? \u2014 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3WcDPqX\">Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli, The Epic Story of the Making of The Godfather<\/a>\u201d by Mark Seal offers a fast-moving look at the intrigues surrounding the making of perhaps the greatest movie of all time. I also quite enjoyed <em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3uNTPE5\">The History of Bones<\/a><\/em><\/em> by musician and artist \u2014 and sometime-recluse \u2014 John Lurie. It\u2019s biting and funny and, admittedly, best enjoyed while listening to the author\u2019s baritone voice via audiobook.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>David Harsanyi is a senior editor at The Federalist, a nationally syndicated columnist, a Happy Warrior columnist at National Review, and author of five books \u2014 the most recent,\u00a0\u201c<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Eurotrash-America-Reject-Failed-Continent\/dp\/0063066017\/\"><em>Eurotrash: Why America Must Reject the Failed Ideas of a Dying Continent<\/em><\/a><em>.\u201d He has appeared on Fox News, C-SPAN, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, ABC World News Tonight, NBC<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re looking for last-minute gift ideas for the book lovers in your life or something to read over the holidays, The Federalist has got ideas for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":274,"featured_media":1774363,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[3990,8755,6919,8756,8754],"class_list":["post-1774360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-3990","tag-books","tag-federalist","tag-federalists","tag-notable"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1774360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/274"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1774360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1774360\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1774363"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1774360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1774360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1774360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
