Over de Auteur
Irving Wallace was born March 19, 1916 in Chicago, Illinois. He began writing for various magazines at age 15 and worked as a screenwriter for a number of Hollywood studios---Columbia, Fox, Warner Brothers, Universal, and MGM from 1950 to 1959, then he turned solely to writing books. His first toon meer major bestseller was The Chapman Report in 1960, a fictional account of a sexual research team's investigations of a wealthy Los Angeles suburb. Among other fictional works by Wallace are The Prize and The Word. His meticulously researched fiction often has the flavor of spicy journalism. A great deal of research goes into his novels, which cover a wide variety of subjects, from the presentation of the Nobel Prize to political scenarios. With their recurring dramatic confrontations, his novels lend themselves well to screenplay adaptation, and most of them have been filmed, including The Chapman Report and The Prize. Wallace has also compiled several nonfiction works with his family, including The People's Almanac and The Book of Lists, both of which have spawned sequels. Irving Wallace died June 29, 1990 in Los Angeles, California at the age of 74 from pancreatic cancer. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Having said this, I only gave this book 3 1/2 stars because it took so long to get to the interesting points. By slowly and solidly building the backgrounds of the characters and the story, it took a lot of patience to get to the part where conflicts and matters of race were injected into the daily running of the country and caused so much difficulty for President Dilman. Nevertheless, by the time I finished the book, I found that I liked it very much. The question that needs to be asked on a regular basis is: how do our black brethren in this country feel about our white countrymen? And vice versa? Can we become a colorblind society? What will it take to reach that goal? The outcome in the book is not perfect and it does not suggest that much progress will be made by having the first black president (at least in the 1960s) but it gives us hope and suggests the value of all victories — large and small — towards that goal.… (meer)
