God Save Texas by Lawrence Wright

NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FINALIST * The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Looming Tower--and a Texas native--takes us on a journey through the most controversial state in America. * "Beautifully written.... Essential reading [for] anyone who wants to understand how one state changed the trajectory of the country." --NPR

The inspiration for the HBO Original documentary trilogy God Save Texas streaming on Max

Texas is a red state, but the cities are blue and among the most diverse in the nation. Oil is still king, but Texas now leads California in technology exports. Low taxes and minimal regulation have produced extraordinary growth, but also striking income disparities. Texas looks a lot like the America that Donald Trump wants to create. 

Bringing together the historical and the contemporary, the political and the personal, Texas native Lawrence Wright gives us a colorful, wide-ranging portrait of a state that not only reflects our country as it is, but as it may become--and shows how the battle for Texas's soul encompasses us all.

Lawrence Wright is a staff writer for The New Yorker and a fellow at New York University School of Law's Center on Law and Security. He lives in Austin, Texas, and is the author of six nonfiction books, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11.
