the Year God Save Texas is a journey through the most controversial state in America. It is a
red state but the cities are blue and among the most diverse in the nation. Oil is still king
but Texas now leads California in technology exports. Low taxes and minimal regulation have
produced extraordinary growth but also striking income disparities. Texas looks a lot like the
America that Donald Trump wants to create. Bringing together the historical and the
contemporary the political and the personal Texas native Lawrence Wright gives us a colorful
wide-ranging portrait of a state that not only reflects our country as it is but as it may
become-and shows how the battle for Texas's soul encompasses us all.
