Rising Bestsellers offer a varied selection this week, from the notion of a powerful not-so-invisible hand in the Democratic Party waiting for the moment to ascend into power to another offering of what dire consequences of such a development would manifest from it. There is a warning that terrorists are already walking amongst us at the invitation of the progressive ideals promoted by the current administration, and also a group of firsthand accounts describing D-Day — the day that turned the tide of World War II in Europe. There is also a bonus selection, a book published eight years ago but has found a sudden interest as a result of November election. For fiction enthusiasts, there is the latest saga of a character introduced 40 years ago.
