Tom EngelhardtFellowTomDispatch is the sideline that ate Tom Engelhardt's life. It began in November 2001 as his unnamed e-list of commentary and collected articles from the world press. In December 2002, it gained its name, became a project of The Nation Institute, and went online as "a regular antidote to the mainstream media." Before that, Engelhardt worked as an editor at Pacific News Service in the early 1970s, and, these last three decades, an editor in book publishing. For 15 years, he was Senior Editor at Pantheon Books where he edited and published award-winning works ranging from Art Spiegelman's Maus and John Dower's War Without Mercy to Eduardo Galeano's Memory of Fire trilogy. He is now Consulting Editor at Metropolitan Books, as well as co-founder and co-editor of Metropolitan's best-selling The American Empire Project. Many of the authors whose books he has edited and published over the years now write for TomDispatch.com. A collection of interviews with several of them have been published in the form of a book, called Mission Unaccomplished: TomDispatch Interviews with American Iconoclasts and Dissenters (Nation Books, October 2006). He is the author of a highly praised history of American triumphalism in the Cold War, The End of Victory Culture (University of Massachusetts, 1998), which has just been thoroughly updated in a newly issued edition that deals with victory culture's crash-and-burn sequel in Iraq, and of a novel, The Last Days of Publishing. His newest book is The World According to Tomdispatch: America and the Age of Empire (Verso). Engelhardt is married to Nancy J. Garrity, a therapist, and has two children, Maggie and Will.

Salvation BoulevardA novel
From the Edgar Award-winning novelist and author of Wag the Dog and The Librarian comes a new mystery novel about a private investigator and a case that tests his courage, character and soul. The victim is an atheist professor, the main suspect—who has confessed and is in custody—a Muslim foreign student, the defense attorney a Jew and the detective a born-again Christian. The New York Times says of Beinhart, "The man can really write." Read glowing reviews of the book in the Chicago Sun-Times and the San Diego Union Tribune.
