Jeff Thomas Book order

For four hundred years, Virginia's politicians have preached a "Virginia Way" of honor, gentility and democracy. In reality, this ideology bred a corrupt political class, a runaway electricity company, a university that reflected the values of donors and a school system that suffered from cronyism. This Virginia Way prevented rather than promoted the success of its stated democratic ideals. Readers from the right, left and middle will learn much about how their government operates and understand Virginia in a whole new way. Author Jeff Thomas explodes the myth of the Virginia Way with an insightful portrait of the people, politics and power that run the Commonwealth.

The book explores the transformation of Virginia into a significant swing state, highlighting the rise of corruption and corporate influence in politics. It details Governor Bob McDonnell's federal corruption case and the subsequent Supreme Court decision, along with ethics violations among state leaders. The narrative also covers the scandal at the University of Virginia, where political drama led to the president's ousting. Author Jeff Thomas examines how money and power shape governance, revealing the detrimental effects on democracy in contemporary Virginia.
