Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 139
The Court of François I is full of lust, intrigue, and bawdy bon temps—a different world from the quiet country life Diane de Poitiers led with her elderly husband. Now a widow, the elegant Diane is called back to Court, where the King's obvious interest marks her as an enemy to the King's favorite, Anne d'Heilly. The Court is soon electrified by rumors of their confrontations. As Anne calls on her most venomous tricks to drive Diane away, Diane finds an ally in the one member of Court with no allegiance to the King's mistress: his teenage second son, Henri.

Absolutely amazing writing!

What an amazing writer. She transports you into every single moment so that you feel that you are experiencing it in person. I also like the idea of Diane de Poitier not being the evil, manipulative woman that history has portrayed her to be. Regardless of the reality of the situation, it’s still a great listen.

As one of the strategists behind the famous 2012 RNC “autopsy,” Miller conducts his own forensic study on the pungent carcass of the party he used to love, cutting into all the hubris, ambition, idiocy, desperation, and self-deception for everyone to see. In a bracingly honest reflection on both his own past work for the Republican Party and the contortions of his former peers in the GOP establishment, Miller draws a straight line between the actions of the 2000s GOP to the Republican political class's Trumpian takeover, including the horrors of January 6th.

Great Washington insider perspective
Revisado: 07-03-22
I’ve been struggling to understand the very complex reasons as to what has happened to my Republican Party. I tried to look at it from the peoples’ psychological perspectives but hadn’t realized how much of it was more than that. People didn’t just sell their soul to work in the Trump admin, they were already in the DC machine and couldn’t get out and/or would rationalize why to stay despite their feelings and beliefs in the Mango monster. The author provides so many real explanations and it helped reconcile (in my mind at least) some of the rationalizations for how we got here. Not sure how to get out of the circus, but it helps to understand and maybe have conversations again with family and friends who went to the dark side!
