I realize the subject is an emotive one in the US.
Why is it thought reasonable to expect their readers to pay to read work like this, (Fortunately for me it was a library copy in this case). Michael Chichton was another prize example of this.

FWIW my book club didn't think it was a great idea either--the political opining. I didnt read it so can't say, but can say it annoys me no end when an author does it.
