Review of Red Wave Imperative
[Following is a volunteer review of "Red Wave Imperative" by Alan Schein.]
Although there are other minor political parties in America, the two main ones are the Democratic party and the Republican party. For almost 250 years, these two parties have dominated the political scene in the United States and have always been at loggerheads with their respective philosophies and political stances. The book, The Red Wave Imperative by Alan Schein joins the political propaganda by making a case for the Republican party.
The book was written in 2018 when President Trump, a Republican, was still in power. The author believes that he should win a second term, given his achievements so far. The author also discusses the failures of the Democratic party by focusing on how their policies affect unemployment, border control, terrorism, education, military capability, e.t.c.
I must admit the book provides the readers with a great deal to ponder on. The author’s words are clear and easy to understand. His writing style is persuasive and straightforward. It feels like he’s inviting you to sit at a round table where all the facts and figures are laid out. He backs up his research with models, quotes and references. He delves deep into the core of the subject matter and fearlessly calls out names, places and events to validate his points. It is obvious a copious amount of research has gone into this book.
The author stated some irrefutable facts that are actually impressive. For example, Trump was able to denuclearize North Korea, a feat that former President Obama was unable to achieve during his time. Anyone who has been following current and political affairs would know that this is very admirable. North Korea has been a thorn in the flesh of the free world for a long while. All thanks to Trump, the world can now breathe a collective sigh of relief.
However, there was one issue I am vehemently against and one which the author seemed to trivialize. These are the allegations of sexual assault against Trump. The author managed to underplay the sexual cases and focus more on how the media and the Democratic party attacked the former president. He then detailed former Democratic President Bill Clinton’s sexual assault instances and an even more serious charge, rape. This is appalling because it is not a case of who gets vilified the most by the press or not. It is about the victims and their need for closure and justice.
Based on the above reason, I will rate the book 3 out of 4 stars. One can tell that both political parties have their fair share of problems and failures. Praising one whilst attacking the other is not the solution. I could only spot two errors, so I can say that the book is professionally well-edited. There are a couple of instances where strong language is used. I would recommend this book to politicians and political students alike. Anyone who likes politics and is willing to keep an open mind could try it too. However, if you do not enjoy politics in general, this might not be your cup of tea.
