The first woman editor of The New York Times editorial page and a best-selling author, Collins reveals in her explosive new book that Texas has become the bellwether of a far-reaching national movement that continues to have profound social and economic consequences for the nation. The proud state of big oil and bigger ambition has created a conservative political agenda that is shaping our national identity. Collins declares, “Like it or not, as Texas goes, so goes the nation.”
