The Fall of Wisconsin: The Conservative Conquest of… di Dan Kaufman

I try to stay current on U.S. politics, however depressing it is and I try to keep an eye on our neighboring state, to the north, but this excellent look at Wisconsin politics, caught me by surprise and I realized how little I knew about how progressive the Badger State has been, over the last 2 centuries. It is a fascinating, at times horrifying, impeccably well-researched, look at the past and current political environment, of the good ole US of A. Highly recommended.
