An urban tale as old as time

Revisado: 09-24-23

This short story captures the best of us under the worst of circumstances. It is the tale of Anywhere Urban, America. Bless John Grisham for offering the possibility of social justice.

Incredible satire that explains much of today’s political environment

Revisado: 09-23-23

Although it is i tended as a satire about Texas politics, it seems more a cautionary tale about America. Wright does an incredible job of untangling the web of political corruption, lobbying influences and power brokers. Scary clear.
This novel needs to be resurrected as a mini-series.

Magnificently well done. Superb

Revisado: 09-12-23

This tour de force work needs to be required reading for every local, state and federal elected official. This well documented investigative report can serve as a warning to always be vigilant so that they can better serve us as our vanguard against abuse and injusticd

heart thumping thriller

Revisado: 08-19-23

The exciting twists and turns rival any mini action thriller. Even though it’s fantasy, it feels right to see thr little guys take on the establishment and win!

An incredible book and narration. Bravo Stephen Vladeck

Revisado: 06-26-23

Stephen Vladeck has done an incredible service of clearly giving the backstory that explains how the US Supreme Court works. His analysis shows the reader how SCOTUS creates an alternate universe outside of what is constitutionally intended then passes off its rulings as morally sound. Vladeck exposing this chicanery helps one to understand that the reason some rulings create discontent and anger is because they violate American values and do don’t reflect our moral best.

Disturbingly Reflective of America Now

Revisado: 06-17-22

I’d hoped for a phoenix rising from the ashes; or hope springs eternal. Instead we are riveted by truth. We accept the politicization of the courts and the influence of of money in politics at all levels. The story shows how distressingly easy our democracy is upended and how corrupt behavior becomes normalized and institutionalized. A must read for EVERY elected official and concerned citizen.

Bravo Walter Isaacson and Evan Thomas, this is stupendous

Revisado: 03-17-22

It is time for everyone to move beyond icons and heroes and read perspectives based in meticulous research showing that it is flesh and blood men who make America what she is.

Fascinating book. Enthralling. I now understand better the good, the bad and the ugly of American political decision making. Too bad the Wise Men’s sense of AmericanLivesMatter are not replicated through subsequent generations.

Affirms my own insight

Revisado: 10-10-21

Without the details or being privy to any of this, the authors provide support and evidence for the opinions many of us had figured out.
I was not impressed by the overlapping of Joe Biden with Donald Trump. The peril we felt is singularly Trump’s. Joe Biden has just started to write history— against a backstory of being a WarBaby and as nearly a 1/2 century as a Washington insider and politician. Unfair to try and sully him in a Trump story.

Déjà vu. Superb retelling with details

Revisado: 07-30-21

For those of us who closely followed the same period, Michael Bender captures it all as we remember. The bonus is the level of detail in the backstory. Affirms discerning minds
