Scott Walker's governorship in Wisconsin was a watershed moment in American politics. His policies sparked widespread protests and inspired a new generation of activists. This book tells the inside story of Walker's rise to power and the resistance he faced.

Walker was elected governor in 2010 on a wave of Tea Party support. He quickly moved to implement a conservative agenda that included cutting taxes, reducing the size of government, and weakening unions. These policies were deeply unpopular with many Wisconsinites, and they sparked a wave of protests that lasted for months.

The protests were eventually successful in forcing Walker to back down on some of his most unpopular policies. However, they also had a lasting impact on Wisconsin politics. The protests helped to create a new generation of activists who are more engaged and more willing to stand up for what they believe in.

This book tells the story of the protests and their impact on Wisconsin politics. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the rise of the Tea Party and the new politics of protest.
