Well written Biography The Story of an Italian Immigrant from prior to his birth to perhaps a possible move to the White House outlines the life of Ron DeSantis。This a good read and a fair reflection of the Governor of Florida who is an honest Conservative Politician。

An Admiring Life of Ron DeSantis Sometimes book reviews are written from what appears to be an Olympian point of view -- as if from a great height， and as if the reviewer is coolly objective concerning all the matters which he or she discusses。When discussing a controversial figure such as Ron DeSantis， however， I personally believe that objectivity is the first thing to go out the window。In a case like this， I think that it is simply better for the reviewer to state his or her biases upfront， a An Admiring Life of Ron DeSantis Sometimes book reviews are written from what appears to be an Olympian point of view -- as if from a great height， and as if the reviewer is coolly objective concerning all the matters which he or she discusses。When discussing a controversial figure such as Ron DeSantis， however， I personally believe that objectivity is the first thing to go out the window。In a case like this， I think that it is simply better for the reviewer to state his or her biases upfront， and to try to deliver a reasonably objective book review anyway。So here goes。。。I am an African-American "liberal" who finds politicians like Ron DeSantis -- who in my opinion has a strong authoritarian strain， and who has been suspected by some members of some minority groups of being biased against Black politicians， Black history， Black education （in the form of "critical race theory （CRT）"， which he apparently willfully misunderstands since CRT is not being taught in any public schools in the US） -- to be objectionable because of their antidemocratic strongman predilections。 I also think that DeSantis's tendency to pander to Donald Trump （at least when Trump was in power） and to Trump's MAGA crowd （ongoing） is both distasteful and poses a potential potential danger to democracy in America。That said， I will try to review this University Press book with as open a mind as I can muster。This short book does an excellent job of describing the background， education， military service， political ascendancy and current anointed status of one Ronald Dion DeSantis， who is currently serving as the governor of the State of Florida。DeSantis's "conservative " bona fides are emphasized throughout -- and the fact that he has maintained a strong "conservative" line in his immigration policies （despite his own ethnic background as the descendant of Italian immigrants） is viewed as a sign of integrity and loyalty to the "conservative" views bred into him by his family， his military background and his education in history。This book depicts DeSantis's not declaring a COVID-19 state of emergency in Florida， support of measures to ban transsexuals students from competing against girls or young women who have been biologically female from birth， supporting anti-abortion measures that do not allow for exceptions for cases of rape， incest or considerations of maternal or fetal mental health as evidence of his commonsense， "conservative" status as "a man of conscience"。This book specifically depicts DeSantis as "critical thinker， man of logic and man of order" -- a man who has a Yale and Harvard Law School education， but retains enough of the "common touch" to be relatable to Joe Sixpack。The contrast with the "liberal" view of the life and legacy of Donald Trump could not be more stark。The book frames the life of DeSantis as an all-American life by using a vignette of the 12-year-old DeSantis waiting for an opportunity to catch a ball in the outfield of a Little League World Series game -- and now possibly a presumptive favorite for winning the White House for the Republican Party in 2024。This book will make for an excellent read for those with "conservative" views， for "libertarians" （who may however oppose the DeSantian tendency toward authoritarianism） and for those with "liberal" views who mistakenly believe that DeSantis is the "Second Coming" of Donald Trump。For that last named group， this "corrective" may be very unwelcome -- but necessary if they are to approach the next election without partisan blinders。This book can be read in a very short amount of time （it's only 48 pages long） but could very well repay that effort several times over with its explanation of the appeal of Ron DeSantis to both "conservative" voters and a growing number of "independents"。It's worth taking the time to read。 。。。more
