Verses Versus Empire: II - The Obama Era

"A brave new presence in the politics of the globe."

San Francisco Review of Books

How Obama Made Trump Possible!

Confused? You should be! Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 2009 before going on to kill record numbers in drone strikes and oversee unprecedented levels of deportation and whistleblower prosecution.

What to make of it? What to make of him?! Abdiel LeRoy charts an epic course through the inferno of U.S. politics, while exposing the follies and fraud of empire.

Yet his verses are rendered with such wit and inventive force that the reader is entertained, rather than overwhelmed, and backed by deeply researched historical record that will inspire progressive forces at this critical time for humanity.

In the age-old contention between prophets and rulers, score one for the prophets, and witness that the pen really is mightier than the sword!
