3.0 out of 5 stars Silent On One Major Issue, September 10, 2008

By	J. Reynolds (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews

While the information presented is informative and interesting, Saxe mentions nothing about the destruction of Arlinton's great old downtown area. "Forces" in the city, at some point, determined to demolish most of the classic old downtown, and ruin it with a boxy library building, completely erasing a great deal of the town's history. The results proved to be so unpopular that the perpetrators went into hiding, and there's no clear record as to who was responsible. Saxe should have investigated and reported upon this, because it is a significant travesty in the history of Arlington.

A Brilliant Book from a Brilliant Teacher...Saxe delivers a very adequate description of the politics of Arlington, Texas. Saxe is knowledgable in the field of Politics, and his book is a definate must-read if you are interested in the local politics of an average American city.

Allan Saxe does an excellant job illustrating the history and character of Politics in Arlington. Mr. Saxe has an amazing and enciteful understanding of the framework and power structure in this town. Hopefully, he will write a book on how to fix our problems.
