Titlen er præcis. Siden 1995 har Søren Ryge skrevet historier, især til Politiken, og med jævne mellemrum er de bedste af dem blevet samlet til en bog. I alt et par hundrede historier blev det til, som er blevet til en halv snes bøger, der tilsammen er solgt i flere hundred tusinde eksemplarer. Nu er tiden inde til den store finale.

Wilfred Petersen var fører for en revolutionær politisk sekt med få hundrede medlemmer - men alligevel fik han afgørende indflydelse på dansk nazismes historie. ”Følg Wilfred!” er fortællingen om Wilfred Petersen og hans folk fra mellemkrigstiden og ind i besættelsestiden.

Senator Frank Church of Idaho was an unlikely hero. He led congressional opposition to the Vietnam War and had become a scathing, radical critic of what he saw as American imperialism around the world. But he was still politically ambitious, privately yearning for acceptance from the foreign policy establishment that he hated and eager to run for president. Despite his flaws, Church would show historic strength in his greatest moment, when in the wake of Watergate he was suddenly tasked with investigating abuses of power in the intelligence community.

The actor-politician redefined the political culture in the state and scripted a new political idiom.
