“If Teddy Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, H.L. Mencken, and Jordan Peterson successfully graduated the FBI Academy and spent a decade as a hard-working Special Agent, this is the masterful book they could have collectively co-written. That co-authorship foursome will not, of course, ever materialize. Instead however, it is Efren A. Delgado who so magnificently penned The Opposite Is True, and it is no less of a page-turner than if any one or a combination of the aforementioned literary luminaries had written it. Capturing history, society, culture, psychology, media, the criminal justice system, and much more, all under the sometimes wary and skeptical eye of a brilliant FBI special agent in the early 21st Century, this is a must read for those wishing to understand the turbulent times in which we presently live. If there is a means to survive this present maelstrom of conflicting and ever-shifting national and international paradigms within the coming decades, the answers may just lie in this book. Delgado certainly poses the relevant questions and, quite frankly, answers most of them.

This is a grand slam of a first book for Delgado. I’m anxiously awaiting the sequel.
