James. A. Michener (6)
stephenbadger: James. A. Michener wrote Presidential Lottery in 1969, warning of the catastrophe awaiting the USA with its idiotic outdated electoral college voting system ...he predicted a fascist blackshirt dictator would use the weakness to seize the US presidency & Congress would sit on its hands and do nothing to reform the voting system, till it happened.

good. Certainly he is known for his scholarship. His take on that process should be pretty interesting.
Yes, Centennial and the Source were also good! He has many that I have not read yet too

Mujica was a peasant
