The Trail of the Serpent: Stories from the Smoke-Filled Rooms of Politics - Paperback

by Carter Wrenn (Author)

Politics is a mess--what's the cure?

After living through WWII, Americans watched Soviet tanks roll into Saigon in 1975--we lost the Vietnam War. That changed politics. And Ronald Reagan was elected president. The Berlin Wall fell, the Soviet Union collapsed, we won the Cold War, threats vanished. That changed politics again. Washington politicians traded favors. Wall Street boomed. Working families staring at stacks of unpaid bills struggled to make ends meet. A reality TV star ran for president, won; coronavirus struck, Trump fumbled. Biden beat Trump. Politics is a mess--what's the cure? Carter Wrenn tells stories you don't often get to read about politics and politicians in The Trail of the Serpent.
