Will Lee has returned to his roots to kick off his campaign for the Senate. A prominent lawyer, he has come back to his hometown of Delano, Georgia, to plan his strategies...and to argue an explosively controversial case that could seriously damage his political career. For Delano is a town with a dark secret - a smoldering hotbed of racial hatred and moral outrage, held in the thrall of a sinister white-supremacist group called The Elect... a breeding ground for violent, evil forces that will stop at nothing to keep the candidate out of office. At first, Will Lee was running for the Senate. But now he is running for his life.… (más)

This is the 1st novel that I have read by Stuart Woods although it is the 4th novel in the series featuring lead character Will Lee. It was particularly interesting to read this political tale in the 2020 election year when as per a Google search, "All 435 seats in the United States House of Representatives, 35 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate, and the office of President of the United States will be contested." Will Lee, is Chief of Staff for Senator Ben Carr from Georgia. Will has his own political aspirations rather than taking over the family law practice but has continued to help his father in the practice when time has permitted. However, unforeseen events after Will goes home for the Christmas break turns his world upside down and inside out.

As with many novels of intrigue that could be "ripped" from the headlines I become eager to learn the copyright date. The copyright date of "Grass Roots" is 1989 but it could easily be a 2020 new release. The politics of this novel will be reviewed in different ways dependent on political beliefs and/or affiliation. I found the novel to be page-turning drama with diverse candidates for political office and a realistic portrayal in the differences in campaign financing and hidden agendas of campaign supporters, the "use" of religion and sexual orientation to judge a candidate's moral character to hold office, and the orchestrations and manipulations that can occur by anyone close to a candidate.

As in daily headlines, things are not always as they seem and not always as they are revealed in newsprint, radio, television to online newscasts, or on social media. From Washington, D.C. to Delano, Georgia there is exposure to many topics of controversial opinions - abortion, homosexuality, campaign financing, racism, and religion to name a few. I found it to be engrossing reading as a stand-alone but will look forward to reading the preceding books in the series and then continuing forward. ( )

Years ago Stuart Woods pissed me off and so I have ignored his books. Finally I decided to try again. I got to the half way mark in this one and was then smacked in the face with extremely offensive homophobia on the part of all of the characters. The end for me. Yuck.

The book is chock full of politics--Georgia politics at it's best. The characters are rich and full. In the mold of "Chiefs", it continues the Will Lee saga. You knew that our hero would be elected to the US Senate, it was only the process that was in question. Fun read. ( )

It has been a while since I read Stuart Woods. With this read I can see that I need to pull more of this author from my "to read" shelf.
