Pardon Power - How The Pardon System Works And Why by Kim Wehle and narrated by Holly Adams is a timely and insightful account of the power of presidential pardon and raises a very important question as to whether pardons and self-pardons specifically can be constitutionally justified.

I first heard about this book when it was mentioned on the Meidas Touch Youtube channel and when I saw it come up on NetGalley, I had to listen immediately

(As a sidebar "it's not about red or blue, it's about the red, white and blue" - Michael Popok) I love this quote as it exemplifies the importance of this type of book. It is a book that is relevant to all Americans, not a matter of party affiliation

Wehle delves deep into the history of the power to pardon and examines it alongside the current brackish and indeed dangerous climate, depending on who is voted president in November

An insghtful, essential title that is a book for our times and I will certainly be buying a physical copy

Thank you to NetGalley, Kalorama, Kim Wehle and the narrator Holly Adams for this ALC. My review is left voluntarily and all opinions are my own
