Böcker av Michael Goodwin

"Vice Versa mischievously turns the 2020 election upside down. With his sharp wit and fast-paced dialogue, Goodwin's portrayal of partisan American politics will cause the reader to both laugh out loud and maybe quietly mourn."--William Smith, PhD, author of Democracy and Imperialism Vice Versa offers an incisive and funny send up of the 2020 presidential election. Goodwin is tough on both sides of the political spectrum. And by making us smile, he also shows a way out of our divisive politics.--Nadia Schadlow, Former White House Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategy, Sr. Fellow The Hudson Institute and author, War and the Art of Governance: Consolidating Combat Success Into Political VictoryImagine if the 2020 presidential election were the mirror image of 2016, as the Biden campaign is accused of receiving aid from the People's Republic of China. In this alternative universe, the media is mostly pro-Trump and the FBI rife with MAGA supporters. Gary Wang, a low-level Biden staffer, somehow becomes the center of the maelstrom and is pursued by the media, politicians, and the FBI. Vice Versa is a satirical take on the comedy and tragedy of current American media and politics. Michael Goodwin has adopted an understated but commendable style of writing with Vice Versa. There is no slapstick comedy here, simply a well-written account where the ironies of American politics are subtly portrayed, but nevertheless in a bold and hard-hitting manner. Vice Versa exposes the ugly side of politics, from the informants, lobbyists, leaks to the press, disinformation, abuse of social media, and divided loyalties, to the bribery and corruption over campaign funding.-Reviewed by Leonard William Smuts for Readers' Favorite
