REVIEWS
“Henry is a master world builder. He encapsulates what the milieu of running for higher office is like with all its intrigues and challenges. Politicians are people too! And Henry helps you understand just what being a politician is like. If you ever wondered what that was like, if you think just about anyone could do it, try this book first.”
“This is one of the most realistic stories of a veteran returning from a war in modern times that you will find. Very few of us run for political office, but many of us face psychic battles and existential questions of purpose far after leaving the battlefield. What strikes me most about this book is the way Henry helps you understand that, in a way, the war is never truly left behind. For those who want to know more about Afghanistan or what returning veterans experience, this is a great place to look.”
“I don’t really know much about politics. I’m honestly not all that interested. Politics has become so bitterly divisive that I was hesitant to pick this book up. Yet this is not so much a book about politics as it is a book about career. If you have ever faced ups and downs of work - overbearing bosses, cutthroat coworkers, the temptation to cut corners, the thrill of a big promotion - you will feel right at home with Sacramento or Bust.”
