for a day or two. to make matters worse, politicians occasionally accuse rivals of deliberately trying to harm their own country. a charge so destructive to group unity that most past societies would probably have just punished it as a form of treason. it's complete madness and veterans know this. in combat soldiers all but ignore differences of race, religion, and politics within their platoon. it's no wonder many of them get so stressed when they come home. sebastian younger taking your calls, e-mail and tweets and text messages live on booktv ice in-depth sunday july 3rd noon to 3 p.m. eastern. ...

we are focusing our sights, not surprising on hillary clinton. the first book is a big book with big author, hillary's america. the subtitle company the most frightening book you're read this year and it's coming along a documentary which he has typically done with the big book. this one is going to open in 2,000 theaters across the country the same day the book comes out. we are very excited. last two

books with us were new york times best sellers. a very exciting and multiple best selling author and this book is called guilty as sin. investigative report going on in hillary clinton and well known for developing wonderful forces and getting stories months and months before they break anywhere else. so that's what we are hoping to do in this boom as well. >> controversial office? >> indeed. frankly in this kind of environment when there's so much noise you need controversial authors. there is tendency special in

election year for the news to be shaking so quickly that people can't keep up, they have a very hard time keeping up. this has been quite a challenge for book publishers. people expect -- news changes every day and people expect to hear what's new every day. our challenge has refined the interesting controversial, provocative author point of view that can tell a different side of a story. >> from a publisher's point of view does hillary clinton sell? >> that's a really good question, yes and no. there has been so many hillary clinton books and you bring a book that doesn't take a new i angle or information, there's a

big risk that people say, been there and done that, that's why -- we look for authors who have a really good track record for digging up new dirt and for talking about topics that everybody is interested in but maybe well covered in an interesting new way. >> what about donald trump in have you looked at books about donald trump? >> that's such a good question. we published a book with donald trump by donald trump back in 2011. last election cycle when he was thinking about running. great book, did very well, time to get tough. well, last summer when it became obvious that he was throwing his hat in the ring we looked at each other and said we have a book of donald trump, why don't we put that out in paper back. we had to work -- we had to get his permission to do that and we called his office and within a week they had gotten the

approvals, turned it around and approved new cover and worked with us to update the book. it was really impressive. >> is that a short time in the publishing world? >> a very short time and we got the book out in august, time to get tough but paperback came out right as the primary season was heating, right all of the debates were happening and we sold tens of thousands of books, of that book in paperback. >> marji ross, conventions are coming up in july and you're putting together booklets. >> we are, maybe you just need to have a drink, so we have two books that are coming up, time for the convention, one is called drinking with the democrats and one is called drinking with the republicans, and what we have done is take a light-hearted approach to the whole presidential election

season and put together some of the favorite cocktail recipes of the president and divided them republican presidents, the democrat presidents so you'll find cocktails and stories about presidential drinking in these two books and we thought, you know, we will equal opportunity players, we will have a book for the republicans, a book for the democrats and as these conventions unfold, i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people thought that that us with best way to make it through this season. >> one of the chapters in the drinking with the republicans is mixing with nixon. >> mixing with nixon. they have a great story of him and how he liked to enjoy a cocktail and his favorite cocktail recipes. >> anne coulter has come out? >> anne couter talked about i

legal immigration before anyone was. this was a very successful book, a big best seller that we published last spring and trump mentioned it in he read it and commented on it, praised it and that's been a huge theme in his campaign. so in light of that and as the -- as he becomes the nominee, we are bringing that book out in paperback, so adios america in paperback this august and i really think that -- that clearly the trump supporters and a large part of the country has agreed that immigration and illegal immigration is one of the key issues that we have to address and people as we have seen are fed up with both parties answers and solutions for the problem and looking for something news. >> marji ross, regnery history.

>> yeah, thank you. we realized that was something our marktl really loves and something we really love so we have a dedicated history imprint and one of the most successful books in that line that we published this year is a book called nine presidents who screwed up america and we profile nine presidents and we compare them, we judge them by how well we feel they followed the constitution, of course, they uphold and that was the litmus test and we profiled nine presidents that we feel did not do a good job at honoring the pledge and that's sort of an example regnery tries to approach. yes, we do history books and very well researched and footnoted and we try to find

them as we do with political books to capture the imagination of our marketplace and to talk about things that people are talking about. so presidents that screwed up america, we are all in the process as americans to choosing our next president, we thought that would be a book to publish this year. >> putting your business hat back on, what percentage of your revenues come from the print side, what percentage come from the e-book side? >> we have seen growth in e-book sales over the past five years and that's leveled off in the the past 18 months so that we are in most cases selling about 25% of our book unit in e-books. and u owe, no i think that -- i know there are categories like fiction which i should mention to in a minute.

25% on the e-book side. on fiction, first time in 30 years publishing a fiction book this year. we are publishing a book called liberty's last substantiate, several successful series and this is a very political book, this is a book that you could say could be foreshadowing what we have in store. it includes marshall law, a suspended presidential election and assassination attempt and texas succeeding from the union.

so this may occur in a fiction book but it is sort of just up our ali, so we -- ally so we are excited about that. >> marji ross, great to be with you. >> thank you very much. >> many of which outline the world view and political philosophy. democratic hillary clinton has written five books in most recent title hard choices he remembers her 2008 presidential campaign and her time as secretary of state in the obama administration, in 2015 secretary clinton spoke about the book and you can find the interview in our website. published in 2003 living history as secretary clinton's first account of first lady while still in the white house she released a children's books

written to family pets and a coffee table book as life as a first lady and in her first book it takes a village, society shares the responsibility for parents for raising children. look for a book tv round table discussion of it takes a village to air in the coming weeks. republican presidential candidate donald trump has also written many books. his first several titles released in the 1980's and 90's are accounts of his business transactions and real estate companies. in the early 2000's he released financial health books, time to get tough and crippled america, he writes about politics and outlines his vision for american prosperity. book tv has covered many of these books including a discussion of donald trump's the art of the deal which you can watch on our website booktv.org. >> this book aims to ask those questions of the american people today.

this book is not about my life, i'm not audacious enough that i should be writing a biography at the age of 35. i'm not a state senator from illinois. [laughter] >> this book is not also about teddy roosevelt, of course, it channels the historic speech but it's not about him, i'm not attempting to litigate his life as a conservative, i'm very aware of progressive lurch and what he gave news 1912 and candidacy of woodrow wilson. to say teddy roosevelt failed is generous, this book is not about me, it's not about roosevelt or litigating where he is on the political spectrum, it's a call to action. to me is meant to inspire, motivate and remind americans of every generation what makes america special and that it is worth fighting for and some of us carried a rifle and many in this generation still do, but you don't have to carry a rifle

to be in the arena. it's our job to instill the principles that perpetuate what is you know an experiment, experiment in human freedom. the 21st century isn't an american history, then the 21st century will not be a free century. it's just a fact. you look threats loom ideologies around the world are quite different than ours and a quote something i put in the book throughout is the phrase history is not over. history is never over. and all we have to do is look to western europe today to realize that when you decide to gut your military to pay for your welfare state and you forget who you are, you have a tendency to ride a wave of history as oppose to shaping it. if getting off to a good start, nobody is more responsible than teddy roosevelt, the guy who charged up san juan hill in

1898, and who really was the chief aggregator for american involvement in world war i. if you remember woodrow wilson declared he wanted peace without victory which would be i think quite difficult and would be a very different looking peace than what we have today. in many ways 20th century was an american century on the back of teddy roosevelt. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> dian guerrero has appeared in the highly rated tv series tv shows, orange is the new black and jai, in the virgin, dian volunteers with the nonprofit
