Historia
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.

Unanswered Why
Revisado: 02-05-25
I don’t know who the audience was meant to be.
I heard political shorthand without definition or context, and insults handed out regardless of political affiliation.
Whatever hope I held out to read this book is now smeared and disappointed. Tim Miller did reference Ruth Ben-Ghiat, maybe I’ll go read that next.

Style choices put me off
Revisado: 10-09-16
I really wanted to love this book, as I came to it immediately after Code Name Verity. [first in series]
This is a different narrator and a different style.
First, the narrator tried so many accents I found it difficult to follow from time to time.
Second, the narrator elongated verbs in suspense - as though taking longer to say a word heightened the dramatic tension. I don't agree with that as a style.
The story has a lot of poetry and songs. I wonder if I would've enjoyed it visually better, as hearing poetry (and a Capella, weak song skills) is not compelling to me.
What I liked best was maybe a third of the entire story. But if I find another book in this series, I'll give it a try!

Historia
Many historians in the past have seen Constantine as a secret pagan who used Christianity as a political device or a God-sent Emperor who converted a whole nation to Christianity. Since Constantine's personal beliefs allowed for both paganism and Christianity, he created an Empire of tolerance or a religiously neutral realm (as far as what you wanted to believe).

painful to listen to

Though it is less than an hour, the flat reading of this essay grated on me. I can hardly retain any of the information which was the reason I chose this title in the first place.
