“A BEAUTIFUL NEW book.”
- The Daily Beast “RICHARD PARKER HAS undertaken a large and daunting task to wrangle the various components of Texas and produced a single vision of what Texas means to America today. He has succeeded admirably. He has told a compelling and highly readable tale.” - Bestselling Author and Pulitzer Finalist S. C. Gwynne “HIS TAKE-HOME MESSAGE... is reminiscent of an old quip from Molly Ivins. Texas, she used to say, is just like anyplace else in America, only more so.” -The New York Times Review of Books “A CRISP ASSESSMENT of fast-changing Texas' recent past, present and future. Whip-smart. A worthy addition to the burgeoning literature on a state that will prove vital to the American future.” - Kirkus Reviews “IF YOU THINK you know Texas, be prepared to be surprised, enlightened, and entertained." -Pulitzer Prize Winner Glenn Frankel "A COMPREHENSIVE, HIGHLY entertaining overview of Texas' future and its influence on American politics." - Chuck McCutcheon, National Journal |
