Books
Mercer's first book, Broad Sides: One Woman's Clash With a Corrupt Culture, was published in 2003; a second edition with new material was issued in late 2009. It is a collection of essays, offering a "wide-ranging exploration of contemporary life through the filter of timeless principles." Mercer described it as a "personal manifesto... aimed at rolling back the modern Leviathan State and reclaiming civil society".
Mercer's second book, Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America from Post-Apartheid South Africa, was published in June 2011. Advance reviewers have described it as "well-written, courageous, and clearly a strong socio-political tract on South Africa" (Irving Louis Horowitz) and "interesting, important, well-written and well-documented book that informs the reader but is likely to upset, perhaps even anger, some or many of them." (Thomas Szasz)
