What happens when someone returns from what we thought was the grave? How does that affect the status quo?
Mr. McDevitt explores this in this latest episode of life with Alex Benedict (but really, Chase Colpath).
Not only that, our heroes uncover a horrible secret.

Katy is a true American hero. She tells of her struggles of covering a madman's successful run for President and the manic crowds that followed him. She does it with humor, wit, and grace. thank you Katy!!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,072
Doremus Jessup, a newspaper editor, is dismayed to find that many of the people he knows support presidential candidate Berzelius Windrip. The suspiciously fascist Windrip is offering to save the nation from sex, crime, welfare cheats, and a liberal press. But after Windrip wins the election, dissent soon becomes dangerous for Jessup. Windrip forcibly gains control of Congress and the Supreme Court and, with the aid of his personal paramilitary storm troopers, turns the United States into a totalitarian state.

The Rise of American Authoritarianism

Ominous

A prophetic tale of tyranny. So many parallels to current events, that I had to pause it a few times.
The performance was excellent, but the recording skipped a few times every chapter.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 14,953
In keeping with the parable style, Patrick Lencioni begins by telling the fable of a woman who, as CEO of a struggling Silicon Valley firm, took control of a dysfunctional executive committee and helped its members succeed as a team. Story time over, Lencioni offers explicit instructions for overcoming the human behavioral tendencies that he says corrupt teams. Succinct yet sympathetic, this guide will be a boon for those struggling with the inherent difficulties of leading a group.

Clear Headed Guidance on Building Teams

How does your team measure up?
Reviewed: 07-27-13
Teamwork is what everybody talks about, but what does it look like?
The way this book is presented makes it a compelling case for improving teamwork. By telling a story about a dysfunctional team, and showing us what a poor team looks like, it made me feel that I was a part of the team working towards a better place.
By illustrating how a dysfunctional team presents itself, and the struggles it endures to get to a better place, by illustrating each of the five dysfunctions; absence of trust, fear of conflict, lack of commitment, avoidance of accountability, and inattention to results- we can see ourselves reflected in one or more of the characters.
If we learn the lessons through the actions of the team, we can identify with their failings within us, and help to move our team to a better place.
