Reviews

This is Citizen Jack's book, a masterful demonstration of a personal view turned sociopolitical gold. -CHARLES R. AULT JR., Professor Emeritus, Lewis & Clark College Jack Hassard illustrates, with the pen of a maestro, why it is important for average citizens to be vigilant of governmental policies-not because it is politically advantageous to do so, but because it is our responsibility to do so. -CHARLES B. HUTCHISON, PhD, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte The Trump Files includes a real time chronicling of events during the Trump presidency that reminds one of all the egregious actions, shattering of democratic norms, lies and misinformation, and abuse of power that took place over the course of four years. -CAROL MAGLIO, business owner, telecommunications pioneer, and citizen of Texas By making his blog into a book, we can put the pieces together, event by event, amnesia attack after amnesia attack. Jack Hassard continues to be a fine citizen diplomat, using his skills to try to bring peace and understanding to the world. So harness your hopes and dig in. All of you should enjoy this book. -PAUL HILLERY, former United Nations researcher; writer, lecturer, and editor, Mannheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany Hassard's accounting is wide-ranging, sharp-elbowed, and deeply committed to democracy and equality. With sharp, clear-eyed prose he takes on racial injustice, the Trumpist worldview (in a discussion inspired by the work of George Lakoff), how the United States drifted toward authoritarian and autocratic rule, and most thoroughly how science in the Trump era was diminished at the peril of the health and well-being for not only people and other living things, but Earth itself. -Booklife review
