Mini Review: After the Fall: Being American in the World We've Made Ben Rhodes
4.5 *****
Thoughtful and thought-provoking, After the Fall is another success for this talented writer. I first became aware of Ben Rhodes on the podcast, Pod Save America, and he always struck me as very eloquent and measured, which comes across in his writing. I like that he isn't given to hysterics, tying to understand what went wrong instead of merely airing his grievances. His reflections in this book cover a wide range of topics, and I would go so far as to call it a must read for fans of political nonfiction. There is a bit of despair in his words, sure, but there is hope, too, something we can all surely use more of these days.
