The “blockbuster” (The Guardian) New York Times bestseller, a shocking, definitive account of the 2020 election and the first year of the Biden presidency by two New York Times reporters, exposes the deep fissures within both parties as the country approaches a political breaking point. This is the authoritative, “deeply reported” (The Wall Street Journal) account of an eighteen-month crisis in American democracy that will be seared into the country’s political memory for decades to come. With stunning, in-the-room detail, New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns show how both our political parties confronted a series of national traumas, including the coronavirus pandemic, the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and the political brinksmanship of President Biden’s first year in the White House. From Donald Trump’s assault on the 2020 election and his ongoing campaign of vengeance against his fellow Republicans to the behind-the-scenes story of Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate and his bitter struggles to unite the Democratic Party, this book exposes the degree to which the two-party system has been strained to the point of disintegration. More than at any time in recent history, the long-established traditions and institutions of American politics are under siege as a set of aging political leaders struggle to hold together the changing country. Martin and Burns break news on most every page, drawing on hundreds of interviews and never-before-seen documents and recordings from the highest levels of government. This “masterful” (George Stephanopoulos) book asks the vitally important (and disturbing) question: can American democracy, as we know it, ever work again?

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On March 6, Trump publicly stated that he would leave the decision about the Grand Princess to others, but added that he didn’t need the infection numbers to double because of one ship. Newsom had no political capital to waste on outrage. #2 Trump was not a president suited to bringing the country together in a crisis. He had no plan for crushing the coronavirus, and even in the midst of the pandemic, he did not have a general theory of how to handle a public health crisis. #3 The coronavirus pandemic shattered Trump’s claims of a easy reelection in 2020. Unemployment rates shot up to nearly 15 percent by April. The president needed to come up with a new plan, a plan to win a difficult campaign. #4 Trump’s court of sycophants was a source of constant disgust for more level-headed Republicans. The president summoned the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, to the White House in 2019 and instructed his aides to walk him through the presidential polling. McCarthy was the most ingratiating major figure in the Republican Party.

Princess Mia Thermopolis has hit an all-time low. Lilly isn't speaking to her. Someone is posting horrible things about her on ihatemiathermopolis.com.

The sermons which make up this volume were preached at Malvern, at, and immediately after, the opening services of the Wesleyan Chapel there.
