The political firestorm that hit Madison in February 2011 is the topic of the timely and passionate book, Uprising: How Wisconsin Renewed the Politics of Protest, from Madison to Wall Street. Nichols does an excellent job balancing a discussion of the historical and contemporary implications of Governor Scott Walker's actions and the historic response it engendered. Wisconsin demonstrated to the world what political action means; Nichols celebrates the heart, passion and wisdom of the protests and protestors.
