Ambition, manipulation, love, and divided loyalties. Seizing his opportunity in 2014, Alabama Senator Augustus Williams relentlessly pursues his dream of becoming the South's first white Supreme Court Justice in decades, using every device at his disposal. His four-year quest reverberates across the tangled web of Washington and national politics, with unforeseeable and sometimes devastating consequences. It irreversibly alters both his own life and the course of history. I started reading the first chapter to prepare for my interview with the author, and found myself reading the whole book --Tootie Cooksey (WILY radio, St. Louis, Mo) APPOINTMENTS is one of the best "Washington" books in a decade. It combines politics, sex, and intrigue in all three branches of government and melds them into a highly credible account of life in Washington. -- Jerry Pruzan, Esq. (Former oil industry lobbyist)
