J.D. Vance's Autobio HILLBILLY ELEGY is Self-Congratulatory & Lacking Resourecfullness

A lot of buzz about HILLBILLY ELEGY is due thanks to presidential candidate Trump's rousing the white lower middle-class with proferred promises of making American great, again.  Vance, a self-proclaimed Hillbilly (b. KY 1985) & raised mostly in Middeltown, OH, is a self-made success story despite the overwhelming odds thrust upon him.  Stop me if you're heard this before, he was raised by an abusive single mother (with revolving men in her life) with an alcohol & drug-addiction, prone to psychotic episodes.  Nevertheless, JD defied the odds with little social capital, no social graces and a quick fire temper, yet, still managed through OH State & Yale Law School.  Bravo, and kudos to the saving graces in his life: a steadfast older sister, steely grandparents & military training where he 1st learned self-empowerment.  Vance's stance was to enlighten us to how it feels to deeply love your family despite how deranged & destructive.  More importantly, to convey the feeling of helplessness & need to blame others for one's sad situation.  Admittedly, I was intrigued with uncovering the "Hillbilly culture" which remains socially & economically stagnant.  The disenfranchisement of the lower middle white class continues under a nebulous cloud of scrutiny & cynicism.  However, HILLBILLY ELEGY reads as grandiose self-testament to the author's own resiliency & tenacity.  I was dismayed with Vance's own life story & self-proclaimed love for those he surpassed (to his own amazement.)  I recommend instead reading the auto-bio THE OTHER WES MOORE.  Interestingly, both attribute military training as a launching pad for their future life successes.  JD doe not purport to provide answers.  I suggest mandatory military training for 2 years for all American youths (within ages 17-24)  This should prove not only beneficial for the individual, but act as a cohesive melting pot for the corrosive social divisions in our nation.
