In the wake of the Obama presidency, a group of young charismatic conservatives catapulted onto the American political and cultural scenes, eager to thwart nationwide pushes for greater equity and inclusion. They dreamed of a cultural revolution—online and off—that would offer a forceful alternative to the progressive politics that were dominating American college campuses.

Excellent but Scary
Revisado: 09-08-24
This was well researched by the author which goes to it's authenticity. What she describes is frightening. Those of us on the Left have a lot of catching up to do.

From the United States and Britain to continental Europe and beyond, liberal democracy is under siege, while authoritarianism is on the rise. In Twilight of Democracy, Anne Applebaum, an award-winning historian of Soviet atrocities who was one of the first American journalists to raise an alarm about antidemocratic trends in the West, explains the lure of nationalism and autocracy. In this captivating essay, she contends that political systems with radically simple beliefs are inherently appealing, especially when they benefit the loyal to the exclusion of everyone else.

There is more about European countries than I expected. The book is thorough & well researched, however. Much of it is from personal experience.

America is undergoing a massive experiment: It is moving, in fits and starts, toward a multiracial democracy, something few societies have ever done. But the prospect of change has sparked an authoritarian backlash that threatens the very foundations of our political system. Why is democracy under assault here, and not in other wealthy, diversifying nations? And what can we do to save it?

The history stood out.
Revisado: 08-10-24
The authors combined the history of our constitution, as well as the current state of democracy around the world. The contrast between our system and that of other democracies is stark. Others have changed with the times while ours hasn't.

On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to storm the US Capitol in attempts to overturn the presidential election. It was a betrayal of our Constitution, and one of the darkest days in recent history. Yet to former congressman Adam Kinzinger it was also the culmination of a cultural and political rupture he’d long seen coming. Constructive criticism from within the Republican Party was no longer enough. It was time to stand up, even if it meant betraying his own party.

Authentic and honest
Revisado: 11-19-23
I loved this book! Having the author read it adds to it's authenticity. There is enough autobiographical information to inform without being overwhelming. The chapters dealing with the insurrection are revealing. It's interesting to learn about the inner workings of Congress, especially around that time. This is also a cautionary tale about what is happening in the country and what could be coming. I highly recommend this book!

Different!
Revisado: 02-21-20
This story is not the same old romance/magic/witchcraft. The premise is unique. 2 worlds - male & female. I found it fascinating & look forward to the next book.

In a land of mountains and mist, tradition and superstition, Languoreth and her brother Lailoken are raised in the Old Way of their ancestors. But in Scotland, a new religion is rising, one that brings disruption, bloodshed, and riot. And even as her family faces the burgeoning forces of Christianity, the Anglo-Saxons, bent on colonization, are encroaching from the east. When conflict brings the hero Emrys Pendragon to her father’s door, Languoreth finds love with one of his warriors. Her deep connection to Maelgwn is forged by enchantment, but she is promised in marriage to Rhydderch, son of a Christian king.

Overall, I LOVED this book!
Revisado: 11-29-19
Toni Frutin's accent brought this book alive. Signe Pike's words rang in my head for days after finishing The Lost Queen. Conventional reading of a book with foreign names often slows my pace which is one reason i so enjoyed this book. The story is compelling and Signe Pike keeps the action going without overlong descriptions. There was mention of this story being a trilogy, which I would enthusiastically buy, but could not find any further information about any forthcoming parts. I have to conclude that the trilogy is contained in this one volume, given the length of time covered in the book. I look forward to other books by this author.
