One is bound to pay glowing tributes to the efforts of the author of this book Omololu Elegbe not only for the sublimity of style, but also, and more significantly, for a detailed, well-researched and painstaking analyses of events and situations, putting in context every assertion of fact. The tantalizing effect of the simplicity of style is such that a reader may likely get stuck reading from the first page till the end. The transcripts of speeches at the end of the book are an invaluable research material on the subject. Near perfect is the rendition that one easily forgets that the writer is not an American. The accounts of what transpired during the last election in America is presented in such a manner that makes the reader to leave with the impression that he or she is now seised of the intricacies of American politics.
