WRAPPED IN THE FLAG GETS A COMMENT IN PUBLISHERS WEEKLY and is listed as #2 in Politics books for the spring. To say that I am dancing with delight is an understatement. Publishers Weekly will help me share my story across a broad audience.
Here's the Publishers Weekly comment about my book, "A similar combination of personal and political can be found in Claire Conner’s Wrapped in the Flag: A Personal History of America’s Radical Right. Based on records, documents, and firsthand knowledge (her father was the first Chicago member of the John Birch Society), progressive and activist Conner presents a history of that radical right-wing organization. Though unlikely to please conservatives, Conners’s book will likely add a human dimension to the movement’s heated rhetoric."
