A sweeping and brilliant portrait of a people subjected to fifty
years of rightwing aggression . . . The most personal and the most
powerful description yet . . . My hope is that everyone who reads
this great book will be enraged enough to redouble their efforts to
undo the damage the greedy have wrought, and to take back America
for its decent citizens, once and for all
*Guardian*
Stellar reporting . . . As an overview of a fractious ideological
landscape, this skillful treatment is hard to beat. An elegant
survey of the causes and effects of polarization in America
*Kirkus (starred review)*
Incisive . . . An engrossing and revealing look at how deeply
connected yet far apart Americans are
*Publisher's Weekly*
A reportorial tour de force . . . Osnos paints an indelible picture
that is heart-rending, appalling and hard to put down
*’ Jane Mayer, chief Washington correspondent for the New Yorker
and author of DARK MONEY*
Visionary in scope, compassionate in procedure, Wildland
brilliantly transmutes our national chaos into absorbing narrative
order. Evan Osnos has penned a definitive portrait of what we have
allowed ourselves to become: a nation reaping the harvest that long
negligence has sown
*Ayad Akhtar, author of HOMELAND ELEGIES*
In this richly reported, beautifully written book, Evan Osnos
chronicles two decades of American anger, fury, and political
dysfunction . . . A riveting tale of dark times, told with a pathos
and humanity that prompts hope of something better
*Michael J. Sandel, author of THE TYRANNY OF MERIT*
