I am a conservative independent and Rachel is liberal. We disagree on most policy issues. However, I admire Rachel because she is smart, factual, and best of all, fair. This book is a great read. It keeps you engaged. And it serves as a warning concerning how very fragile democracy can be and is. Rachel inadvertently agrees with Reagan who warned that we are one generation away from losing our democracy. Read Prequel. At least you'll be informed enough to hold an intelligent conversation with anyone advocating for making ANY country great again.
