“All but the most determined Trump enthusiasts should feel pin
pricks of recognition and...a queasy discomfort.”
*New York Times*
“A far more rewarding book than Fire and Fury.”
*Financial Times*
“Magnificent.…The wisdom of the final chapter in particular
absolutely floored me.”
*Laurence Tribe*
“With precision and even eloquence, Frum details how the Trump
campaign and administration has damaged American institutions and
the American psyche. For those who oppose Trumpism, this is a
clarion call.”
*Booklist*
“The most important new book about the dangers of Donald Trump’s
presidency”
*San Francisco Chronicle*
“Fascism did not rise in the 30’s because it was strong but rather
because Democracy was weak. David Frum has written an essential
book for a time when the pillars and norms of American Democracy
are under threat from the leaders pledged to preserve it.”
*Stephen Schmidt, strategist for George W. Bush, John Mccain, and
Arnold Schwarzenegger*
“An outstanding chronicle of the unending corruption, deceit, and
chaos that acts as rocket fuel for the administration, and ego, of
President Donald J. Trump. This is a brilliant book of a
frightening American present, it is also an honest discussion of
the gifts a Trump Presidency has unwittingly revealed.”
*Malcolm Nance, author of The Plot to Hack America: How Putin’s
Cyberspies and Wikileaks Tried to Steal the 2016 Election*
“Frum charts the erosion of democratic principles over the course
of Donald Trump’s campaign and first year in office, enumerating
both the president’s own improprieties and the misdeeds of his
various advisers and hangers-on. Frum’s incisive prose and optimism
set this apart.”
*Publishers Weekly*
“Evenhanded, ideologically consistent, and guaranteed to generate a
slew of angry tweets should a copy land at the White House.”
*Kirkus Reviews*
