If you have a review or reason please share. I’ll probably end up getting two or three of them and value your opinion.

I overreacted to the term "“Hillbilly” in the first pictured book at the link and discounted the other books without looking too closely. It was a wrong choice.

The books are conservative and I'm looking forward to reading “Playing to the Edge: American Intelligence in the Age of Terror” by Gen. Michael Hayden and several others.. And yes, the author of “Hillbilly Elegy” was referring to his own family and to himself but I still find the term offensive. Not an excuse... apologies to all ...
