“The two-party system amplifies and exacerbates polarization by pitting two juggernauts (Democrats and Republicans) against each other in a bitter, all-consuming rivalry—and gerrymandering, closed primaries, and the Electoral College compound the problem.”

Your new book The Trial of Donald H. Rumsfeld sounds fascinating. I would be very interested in reading it so that I can share my comments and write a review. Please let me know how I can receive a copy.
Best regards,
Afshiin
I have finished the manuscript of my next book, The Trial of Donald H. Rumsfeld, in which the former US Defense Secretary goes to trial at the International Criminal Court for war crimes relating to the Iraq War. Would love to share with readers for comments. If you're interested, please let me know. Will include all goodreads commenters in the Acknowledgements Section and can also offer a free copy of How America Works ... And Why It Doesn't, in any format. Thank you. wcooper11@gmail.com
Can anyone recommend a good holiday book with a literary bent?
Happy Thanksgiving to my goodreads friends! Am thankful for this wonderful community of book lovers and our stimulating and respectful dialogue. It's been a great year.Best,
Will
Hello goodreads friends. Today is a fitting day for the release of my new book, the political thriller A Quiet Life. As Kamala Harris and Donald Trump square off in tonight’s debate, the book is about a rogue billionaire who becomes president and wreaks havoc—both on a global scale and in the lives of a young married couple. A Quiet Life
Here are some book club questions:
- Could something like this really happen?
- Did you ever think Michael and Pam would see each other again?
- Who did you think was behind the hack?
- Who in real life did President Davis remind you of? One person or a hybrid of multiple people?
- What did you like least about the book?
- What did you like most?
To follow-up, the ebook will be out in the US no later than the July 23 release date, perhaps earlier. Until then it's available on the Amazon UK site. Thanks again for the question Angie!
Thank you Angie! Since the UK edition comes out this week the ebook in the US will be available a little later. I will check to see about when it will be available. Appreciate the support.
I was going to preorder your forthcoming book, but ... it does not look like there will be an electronic edition!!?? Why not? I have not bought a hardcopy book (other than cookbooks) in many years. I really think you should have one!!
In which case I would be happy to review it!
