Great Moments in Acknowledgments

I‘d long been told that there’s no finer book editor in all of publishing than Bob Weil, and what amazing fortune to learn up-close exactly how true that is. Bob’s passion for this project has been its soul from the very beginning. His careful and attentive edits turned court transcripts and reporting into narrative storytelling. His high standards pushed me to go deeper than I’d imagined. This book emerged from our shared belief, discovered over a first lunch, that much of our country’s political dysfunction stems from gerrymandering. His faith that I could explain this big picture, and his friendship and generosity throughout this time, was a sustaining force.” (David Daley, editor of Salon, in Rat F**ked: The True Story Behind the Secret Plan to Steal America’s Democracy.)
