With a Presidential election looming, there’s never been a better time to load up your NOOK with informative and engaging current affairs books. While summer reading often brings to mind lighthearted romances or dishy celebrity biographies, come fall you’ll want to be fully-informed on this year’s hot-button issues.

B&N’s current affairs expert Sallye, has new titles to suggest each month. This July, she’s highlighting The Dictator’s Learning Curve by acclaimed journalist William J. Dobson, about which she says:

“With despots toppled in Egypt and Libya and pro-democracy demonstrations convulsing Syria and Russia, the conflict between repression and liberation has reached new heights. This powerful work of reporting illuminates the challenges faced by advocates of free societies everywhere.”
