Robert Draper Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Robert Draper

Just finished #TheEndOfOctober by @lawrence_wright and yes, it's an eerily prescient pandemic novel, but most of all it's a thriller set in DC & throughout the globe, penned by a brilliant writer who has manifestly seen the world.

We agree. The "seen as" was meant to suggest more than meets the eye, but that sentiment wasn't properly conveyed. Even Baker began as wanting to help Nixon. Fred Thompson was regularly reporting to the White House & b/c of this was tailed by committee staffers. https://t.co/xGJ2wgK5kN

Apropos of learning that Knopf will be publishing Cormac McCarthy's latest novel next month, here's what I wrote for @TexasMonthly 30 years ago about McCarthy's life in Texas after the release of "All the Pretty Horses" https://t.co/AjHdo8Xi2W

"Hey, John. You're gonna die, John." Walter's threats are akin to Scott Haven's, who (per my book) place 3,950 threatening calls to the Capitol. Haven was stunned when the FBI arrested him. Thought it was innocent free speech & that the feds should be focused on the left instead. https://t.co/iMZeRJju2a

Belatedly but fervently recommending @jkbjournalist's book Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story. An important investigation but also a compelling tale of a heroic single mother working for a struggling paper & plowing through ghastly corruption to deliver justice.

"In his brilliantly forensic 2020 analysis, “To Start a War: How the Bush Administration Took America into Iraq,” Robert Draper methodically documents the campaign of deception—including self-deception—that officials deployed..." @gerardtbaker https://t.co/AXQs7kS0PF

Lincoln on the Verge is a fabulous book on multiple levels: brilliant writing, assiduous research & an acute focus on a largely-overlooked moment in history that resonates deeply at this time. @ted_widmer did a masterful job. (Also, should be a movie.) https://t.co/AT1zbIV3eD

Draper, the author of "Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind," told [@thedailybeast] podcast that Trump has toyed with the idea of selecting Greene to join his ticket since February of this year. https://t.co/UUoPfMJMPP
