An early Savage political work, this book lays out arguments that predate his full national radio fame. It points toward the themes he would return to often: culture, immigration, media, and conservative identity.

The Savage Nation

by Michael Savage

2000

Savage’s breakout political book brings his radio themes to the page, focusing on borders, language, culture, media bias, and national identity. It is the clearest starting point for his core public argument.

The Enemy Within

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder

by Michael Savage

The Political Zoo

by Michael Savage

Savage turns politics into an animal house of satire, using caricatures and comic profiles to lampoon public figures, media personalities, and cultural targets. It is one of his lighter, more cartoon-driven books.

Psychological Nudity

by Michael Savage

This collection captures Savage’s radio storytelling style, personal, blunt, digressive, and deliberately unfiltered. It moves through memories, observations, and riffs that show the private voice behind the public microphone.

Trickle Up Poverty

by Michael Savage

Savage attacks the Obama administration’s approach to borders, the economy, and national security. The book presents his case that federal policy is weakening the middle class and reshaping America in dangerous ways.

Former war correspondent Jack Hatfield is trying to rebuild his career in San Francisco when a deadly carjacking exposes military explosives. The deeper he digs, the more the case points toward terrorism and hidden power.

Train Tracks

Savage gathers family stories meant for holiday reading, with memories that run from his childhood into adult life. The book is personal, nostalgic, and much less political than his best-known work.

Trickle Down Tyranny

by Michael Savage

Teddy and Me

by Michael Savage

The Survivor

by Michael Savage

2016

This short novella from Savage’s fiction shelf moves away from talk-radio politics into a stripped-down speculative mode. It focuses on survival, pressure, and the bleak question of what a person keeps when systems close in.

God, Faith, and Reason

by Michael Savage

Savage steps away from straight politics for a personal look at belief, doubt, scripture, and spiritual experience. The book blends childhood memories, religious reflection, and his search for meaning across different traditions.

Trump's War

by Michael Savage

Savage examines Donald Trump’s early presidency through appointments, speeches, tweets, and campaign promises. The book frames Trump’s agenda as a fight over borders, trade, courts, security, and the direction of the country.

Stop Mass Hysteria

by Michael Savage

2018

Savage traces what he sees as waves of American group panic, from the Salem witch trials to modern politics. He connects history, psychology, and partisan conflict in a blunt argument about fear and public pressure.

Xenon

by Michael Savage

2018

In this darkly comic dystopian novella, a future world-state uses social control, gender politics, and mind-altering gases to crush natural freedom. It is strange, satirical, and intentionally over the top.

A Savage Life

by Michael Savage

2019

This memoir collects short vignettes from Savage’s childhood, travels, radio career, and private life. It is a more personal book than his political polemics, built from memories, hard lessons, and family stories.

Our Fight for America

by Michael Savage

2020

Savage revisits the populist battles of the Trump era, arguing that America faces cultural, political, and media-driven crises. The book is part warning, part rallying cry, and part defense of his long-running national themes.

Author bio

Michael Savage was born Michael Alan Weiner on March 31, 1942, in the Bronx, New York. He grew up in New York City, graduated from Jamaica High School in Queens, and came from a family marked by both grit and loss. His father ran an antiques business. His mother had roots in Montreal. His younger brother Jerome, who was born with serious disabilities, died as a young man.

Books came before the microphone.

Savage studied biology at Queens College, then went on to graduate work at the University of Hawaii and the University of California, Berkeley. Before he became a political talk host, he wrote under his given name about plants, nutrition, herbal medicine, and ethnomedicine. Titles such as Earth Medicine, Earth Foods, Weiner’s Herbal, and Maximum Immunity came out of that earlier life, when his focus was health, botany, and traditional remedies.

The move into radio began in a sideways way. After a manuscript about immigration was rejected, Savage recorded a mock talk-radio program and sent it around to stations. That demo helped him get on the air in the San Francisco market, first at KGO and then at KSFO, where The Savage Nation became his signature show in the mid-1990s.

That detour became the main road.

Savage’s political books grew directly out of the radio program. The Savage Nation, The Enemy Within, and Liberalism is a Mental Disorder brought his “borders, language, and culture” theme to print. Readers who like him tend to come for the bluntness, the combative tone, and the feeling that he is speaking from outside the polite media lane. Readers who dislike him often point to the same things.

He has also written thrillers. In Abuse of Power, A Time for War, and Countdown to Mecca, Savage uses Jack Hatfield, a disgraced journalist and commentator, to tell conspiracy-heavy political stories with terrorism, intelligence agencies, and government cover-ups at the center. The fiction still sounds like Savage: suspicious of institutions, quick to pick a fight, and never far from the headlines.

There is a more personal shelf, too. Train Tracks gathers family stories and memories from earlier times. Teddy and Me is about his bond with his dog. God, Faith, and Reason turns toward spiritual questions, while A Savage Life presents his story in short, autobiographical pieces.

In recent years, Savage has kept working in talk media through podcasting and television while continuing to be a polarizing figure in conservative commentary. His career is unusual because it has several lives inside it: plant scholar, health writer, radio host, political polemicist, memoirist, and thriller writer.
