Ted Cruz Takes on New York Times in Book Controversy...

A Time for Truth: Reigniting the Promise of America  

Over the last week presidential candidate Ted Cruz has had a battle of wills with one on the most leading newspapers the New York Times, waging a very public battle against the paper arguing that it purposely excluded his new memoir from its bestseller list.

 A Time for Truth had appeared on the rankings compiled by both the Wall Street Journal and Barnes & Noble, but was conspicuously absent from the list in the Times, which maintained that the book was excluded because most of its sales had come from “strategic bulk purchases.”

Harper Collins sent an inquiring email to The New York Times last week after the book’s impressive sales were ignored by the paper.

Last Wednesday the New York Times after apologizing, announced that 'A Time of Truth' does belong in their bestselling list and gave the book a no.7 ranking in non - fiction while still maintaining that they did nothing wrong by the omission.

In A Time For Truth, his first book, Cruz tells his story as a Cuban immigrant’s son who made it to the Ivy League, to the Supreme Court bar, and eventually the U.S. Senate. It’s a deeply personal journey that begins with Cruz’s father experiencing brutality in a Cuban prison and ends with Cruz’s discovery that Washington has neither the courage nor the desire to preserve the freedom and opportunities that gave hope to his father, and millions like him.

Pulling back the curtain on the backroom deals between Republicans, Democrats, and the lobbyists who keep them in office (instead of keeping them accountable to their constituents), Cruz offers an inside look at what has gone wrong in our nation’s capital. He argues that the need for change is urgent, and that the only way to bring about real change is to revitalize the Constitutional principles that made our country great.
It’s a book that will win Ted Cruz few friends in Washington. Then again, that isn’t why he went there in the first place.
