For anyone interested in Wisconsin politics during the Walker Era, this book is a must read. Ed Wall tells how he came to Wisconsin to be with his wife's family and continue his career in law enforcement, where he rose to become the respected leader of the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation. Although he had no political connections or affiliations, Wall was chosen by Democrat Governor Jim Doyle to head the state Division of Emergency Management and was then chosen by Republican Governor Scott Walker to lead the state's largest cabinet agency, the Department of Corrections. It was there, in Walker's cabinet, where Wall saw, up close and personal, the self-serving, conniving, and deceitful maneuvers of Walker and Attorney General Brad Schimel. Along the way, you'll find out fascinating inside details about the Act 10 protests, the John Doe investigations, Walker's obsession with avoiding public records, his failed presidential bid, and Schimel's bungling of the Lincoln Hills investigation. This is a revealing and harrowing account of life at the highest levels of the Walker administration and the difficult, life-altering lessons learned along the way.
