"The Electors is a spellbinding morality tale pitting blind ambition against the good of the nation. Written by a veteran of the nation’s political wars over the past generation, it reminds that just beneath the veneer of lofty constitutional principles, mere mortals wallow in the slime of dirty tricks and treasonous actions in the pursuit of raw power. The reader is alternately titillated and distressed by the exploitation of the venality of fellow citizens, but never left ambivalent. The two takeaways are that the fate of the nation is too important to be left to the hacks, and: when can we read the sequel?"
Ambassador Joseph Wilson (USFS, ret.), author of
The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies that Led to War and Betrayed My Wife's CIA Identity: A Diplomat's Memoir
"The plot is ripped right out of today’s news headlines, including a terrorist attack that throws the country into turmoil (sound familiar?).
It’s one, very well written, page-turner of a book. By the way, the ending sets up a sequel which Neel says he’s already working on. I also see potential for a screen play and a movie. Who knew that the Electoral College could be so interesting?"
Pat Nolan, Political Analyst, News Channel 5 Nashville
"Roy Neel's The Electors is a fascinating book - a compelling, believable, and at times scary account of our electoral system by one of the masters of American politics."
David Maraniss, author of First In His Class: A biography of Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama: The Story
