Is there a Political/Historical Writer Who you feel is "Criminally Underappreciated or Unknown"?

[EPIC1934]

for me this writer would be Roger Morris. He is the author of The Money and the Power with Sally Denton, and also the author ot AN INCREDIBLE BIOGRAPHY OF THE CLINTONS THAT WAS PUBLISHED IN 1995.

Now what ON THIS EARTH SOUNDS MORE BORING RIGHT NOW THAN READING A 1995 BIO OF THE CLINTONS.!!!

Thats just what I mean about Roger Morris, who was formerly in the NSC under Johnson and Nixon, resigning in 1970 over cambodia. You would think that said Clinton book would be the most irrelevent book on earth to right now. SO DIFFERENT IS THIS BOOK FROM THE STANDARD CLINTON FAIR THAT YOU WILL HARDLY RECOGNIZE ANY OF IT EVEN IF YOU READ A LOT OF POLITICS AND HISTORY.

More importantly is the way the Clinton story becomes the story of the Democratic Party since 1968. Weirdly, this book is a much better now than when it came out. It perfectly captures the Altoona Curve of the party gone Emanuel from the dangerous direction- for the elites who run our coutry-- that RFK Walter Reuther and MLK were moving the party until all of them were killed.

Roger Morris is like a more structural Robert Caro who contextualizes better (Caro is a Master) and writes better-- Caro writes very well. Morris writes like an artist and I cant stand artists. Now I am reading his 1990 Nixon bio. and it is just a jaw dropping masterpiece that I canno wait to get back to.

Today you might think that political books about parties and politicians are necessarily non structural and a way deceptive. I feel this way about many political bios written today. There is just not enough structural curiousity in the author to make it worth it. Morris makes one realize it need not be the case.
