The new book, Red State Rising, Triumph of the Republican Party in Georgia by Tommy Hills, was highly recommended by the GA GOP at their December 10 Christmas Party.  This book has also been recommended by Zell Miller and Senator Johnny Isakson.  This would make a great gift for any Georgia Republican.
