*An End to Political Science* (ed. with Marvin Surkin), *Political Analysis: An Unorthodox Approach* (written with Charles McCoy), *The Seamy Side of Democracy: Repression in America*, *Limits of Legitimacy: Political Contradictions of Contemporary Capitalism*, and *Rise & Fall of Soviet Threat: Domestic Sources of the Cold War Consensus*.
