Synopsis

"One of the sharpest political satires of recent years." — Readers' Favorite

The wheel has 195 countries on it.
Every one of them is a target.

When the President accidentally captures the Venezuelan president's brother instead of the president himself, he decides American foreign policy needs a new system.
A giant wheel.
One spin.
One country.
One international disaster at a time.

Soon American troops are:

• invading Santa Claus Village to recover Barron's missing Christmas presents,
• forcing Italians to eat pizza correctly,
• attempting to seize Albania's giant communist monument,
• recovering Canada's maple syrup,
• and trying to export American common sense to countries that never asked for it.

At the center of the chaos is General Raymond Crock, a career military officer slowly realizing that the United States now conducts foreign policy like an exhausted bureaucratic hallucination.

But somewhere along the way, something unexpected happens.
The countries refuse to cooperate with the script.
Luxembourg remains Luxembourg.
Finland remains Finland.
Bhutan remains Bhutan.
New Zealand remains New Zealand.
And the people sent to "fix" them begin discovering there was never anything wrong with them in the first place.

Spin It, Sam is a razor-sharp political satire about power, bureaucracy, public relations, and the stubborn fact that culture cannot be conquered, purchased, exported, or seized.
Because no matter how many times the wheel spins, the world keeps being itself.

Laugh-out-loud funny. Surprisingly insightful. Completely out of control.
