Ben Franklin saved the American Revolution by seducing French Women. A gay love affair between President James Buchanan and Senator William King aided the secession movement. Woodrow Wilson's girlfriend dictated his letters to the German Kaiser. And lesbian relationships inspired Eleanor Roosevelt to become a revolutionary crusader for equal rights. The colorful sex lives of America's most powerful leaders have influenced social movements, government policies, elections and even wars, yet they are so whitewashed by historians that people think Thomas Jefferson and Abe Lincoln were made of marble, not flesh and blood.
But the truth is about to come out. In One Nation Under Sex, free speech activist and notorious Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt teams up with Columbia University history professor David Eisenbach to peek behind the White House bedroom curtains and document how hidden passions have shaped public life. They unpack salacious rumors and outright scandals, showing how private affairs have driven pivotal decisions―often with horrific consequences. Along the way, they explore the origins of America's fascination with sex scandals and explain how we can put aside out political moralism and begin focusing on the real problems that threaten our nation.

This autobiography details the story of Larry Flynt's rise from small town beginnings to become one of the richest men in America, owning a string of nightclubs, sex outlets and, of course, the infamous pornographic magazine, "Hustler". Along the way, he married a go-go dancer, spent years on trial fighting obscenity, libel and contempt charges; was shot and paralyzed from the waist down; and became an unlikely defender of the First Amendment rights.

It takes a hustler to know one. In his explosive new book, Hustler publisher Larry Flynt lays bare the vast right-wing conspiracy that brought George W. Bush to power four years ago. He shows how democracy has been perverted by what John Kerry described as 'a bunch of lying crooks' - the fundamentally corrupt Bush and his cronies. In an incisive and pithy review of recent history, Flynt demonstrates that the triumph of Bush Junior is the direct result of a thirty-year battle by the reactionary Right to control American hearts and minds. And he reveals the real reasons why the president launched the first pre-emptive war in American history - a true story of sleeping with the enemy. Described as 'the Tom Paine of our time', Flynt has made a second career of defending freedom of speech. Here, he invokes the First Amendment to reveal the unseemly backgrounds of some of the hypocritical politicians who parade as protectors of family values and Christian principles. This racy, engrossing and highly entertaining read will appeal directly to the enormous market for polemics against Bush.
