God Save Texas: A Journey into the Soul of the Lone Star State

Description

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Looming Tower, God Save Texas is a journey through the most controversial state in America.

Texas is a Republican state in the heart of Trumpland that hasn't elected a Democrat to a statewide office in more than twenty years; but it is also a state in which minorities already form a majority (including the largest number of Muslim adherents in the United States).

The cities are Democrat and among the most diverse in the nation.  Oil is still king but Texas now leads California in technology exports and has an economy only somewhat smaller than Australia's. Lawrence Wright has written an enchanting book about what is often seen as an unenchanting place. Having spent most of his life there, while remaining deeply aware of its oddities, Wright is as charmed by Texan foibles and landscapes as he is appalled by its politics and brutality.
