The Land of Flickering Lights is a distinctive contribution to American political writing at this or any other time. Democratic Senator Michael Bennet from Colorado lifts a veil on Congress to reveal, in his words, ‘through a series of actual stories-about individuals, the politics, the motives, the amount of money, the hypocrisy, the stakes, the outcome-the pathological culture from the capitol and the results for us all.’

Bennet eloquently chronicles the dramatic full stories behind five debates and about The Property of Flickering Lighting: Restoring America in a day and time of Broken Politics decisions essential to almost all Us citizens: the highly politicized nominations and meetings of judges whatsoever levels; the latest taxes cut that massively improved our debts and economic inequality across the country; the shredding of the Iran nuclear deal that undermined our longstanding bipartisan approach to foreign plan; the corruption due to profit politics and just why it has triggered inaction on environment change and much else; and the unpleasant sabotage with a minority of the ‘Gang of Eight’s’ bi-partisan plan to reform our immigration policies, which could have resolved all of the issues we currently face.

By revealing how these decisions were really made, Bennet sheds vital fresh light on each of these five crucial events and what Us citizens have lost along the way, illuminating how and just why our government reaches loggerheads today.
