God Save Texas: A Journey Into The Soul Of The Lone Star State

"You don’t have to be a Texan to enjoy Lawrence Wright’s witty, sharp look at the state he has called home for decades. Wright considers the Lone Star State through its past and present, its politics and culture, and explores what makes Texas so unique and divisive. Wright is one of Texas’ most talented journalists, and his book is essential reading or anyone who wants to understand how one state changed the trajectory of the country, for better and for worse."
