Country Before Politics
Reviewed: 01-02-24
I don’t write many reviews but this book was outstanding. No matter your political perspective, this is must read/hear material. America is too important to let this slide into ignorance. Well written and organized, it even shed more light on a saturated subject.

chat rooms much better read
Reviewed: 01-06-23
I had a hard time staying with this one, and I'm a big fan of the CB Strike series. There was just so much chat room information in the book, and it was tough to follow the clues and the names. I also found it hard to stay interested because of the lengthy chat room discussions. I do think the actual book is probably a better idea.

Refreshing!
Reviewed: 09-12-21
I’m a moderate … democrat. It was refreshing to listen to a political story that was real, without the soapbox or bluster. It made me miss the days of a true republican, with solid values and a valid argument, who didn’t want to obliterate you.

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

For nearly 10 years, Ben Rhodes saw almost everything that happened at the center of the Obama administration - first as a speechwriter, then as deputy national security advisor, and finally as a multipurpose aide and close collaborator. He started every morning in the Oval Office with the President’s Daily Brief, traveled the world with Obama, and was at the center of some of the most consequential and controversial moments of the presidency. Now, he tells the full story of his partnership with a man who also happened to be a historic president of the United States.

If you're a political junkie and even if you're not, this is a refreshing "story" about what it's actually like to work in the trenches. It also made me miss when life and politics was challenging but reasonable. Excellent book!
