Commentaries

Visionary politician and provocateur Jerry Brown's second book is a bracing challenge to the political and social status quo, presenting his political mission in his own words, in excerpts from interviews, articles, correspondence, and speeches from the past decade. Brown examines American politics from the inside, uncovering the roots of a corrupt system. Included are his views on the American city and the social factors that drive it; violence, terrorism, and homeland security; the recall of the California governor, and more. Framed by two candid biographical sections, Commentaries offers thoughtful analysis and timely remedies for an increasingly fragmented culture.
