WW Norton
In one of the most explosive and timely political books in years, Gail Collins declares that "what happens in Texas doesn't stay in Texas anymore."
Baker & Taylor
A best-selling author andNew York Times columnist discusses the conservative political agenda that began in Texas, home of George Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and Rick Perry, and how it became a national movement with far-reaching social and economic consequences. 100,000 first printing.
Norton Pub
Not until she visited Texas,that proud state of big oil and bigger ambitions, did Gail Collins, thebest-selling author and columnist for the New York Times, realize that she had missed the one place that mattered most inAmerica’s political landscape. Raised in Ohio, Collins had previously seen theAmerican fundamental divide as a war between the Republican heartland and itstwo liberal coasts. But the real story, she came to see, was in Texas, whereBush, Cheney, Rove, & Perry had created a conservative political agendathat is now sweeping the country and defining our national identity. Throughits vigorous support of banking deregulation, lax environmental standards, anddraconian tax cuts, through its fierce championing of states rights, gunownership, and, of course, sexual abstinence, Texas, with Governor Rick Perry’spresidential ambitions, has become the bellwether of a far-reaching nationalmovement that continues to have profound social and economic consequences forus all. Like it or not, as Texas goes, so goes the nation.
