Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins tells the story of the media firebrand who took on "good old boy" corruption wherever she found it. Intimidatingly brilliant and quintessentially Texan, Ivins was politically blue in a scarlet red state and unabashedly brash in her famously lauded political assessments. She dedicated four decades of her life to tackling corruption, defending free speech, and making all the right frenemies. Her razor sharp wit left both sides of the aisle laughing. She knew the Bill of Rights was in peril, and said that "polarizing people is a good way to win an election and a good way to wreck a country." Molly's words have proved prescient.
