Blowback

A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump

By: Miles Taylor

Narrated by: Miles Taylor

The author behind the “eye-popping” (CNN) #1 New York Times bestseller A Warning presents an urgent look at how our deeply divided nation is setting the stage for “The Next Trump.”

After a chaotic and violent first Trump presidency, Miles Taylor knew one thing for sure: Trump would be president again, whether he was on the ballot or not. Taylor knew intimately that Trumpism was overtaking the Republican Party and was bound to mount a vigorous comeback. Now, following the 2024 presidential election, his prophecy has come true.

With Blowback, the formerly “Anonymous” official is back with bombshell revelations and a sobering national forecast. Through interviews with dozens of ex-Trump aides and government leaders, Taylor predicted what could happen inside “Trump 2.0.” What sounds like a political thriller—from questionable presidential powers and CIA betrayals to angry henchmen and assassination plots—is instead America’s political reality, as Taylor uses untold stories to shed light on the ex-President’s unfulfilled plans, the dark forces haunting our lives, and how we can thwart the rise of extremism in the United States.

Blowback is also a surprisingly emotional and self-critical portrait of a dissenter, whose own unmasking provides a vivid warning about what happens when we hide the truth from others and, most importantly, ourselves.

Critic reviews

"This audiobook is an exceptional listening experience because the author’s dramatic narration is so perfectly suited to his captivating storytelling. With flinty vocal clarity and a sparkling delivery of quotes, he describes his experience as a Homeland Security official in Trump’s administration who wrote an anonymous book about the president’s antics and incompetence. His portraits of the president’s cruel vendettas and clueless flirtations with global catastrophe are filled with suspense and told with disarming authenticity. But what will linger is Taylor’s warning that, with or without Trump, the next wave of MAGA supporters will continue damaging the country’s institutions and norms unless we take a fearless look at the movement and find a way to neutralize its grip on so many officials and voters."

Couldn’t put it down

I knew I was getting an eye-opening account of how disgusting Trump is and what a disaster a 2nd Trump administration would be but I was surprised by Miles's personal account of the trials and tribulations he endured. I had no idea the shit he was going through and think sharing his story can serve to help others keep faith.

All Should Read This

This is a great story told in compelling detail by a man who lived it from the beginning. A lot was known in part from news clippings and reports; to hear it told in full in first person is chilling. America is on the brink, we all need to step back and remember what this country means, not to you personally, but to all of us.

Thank you Miles for telling your story.

A must in these days

Well written & well read by Miles Taylor. It is scary to listen to this but also nessasary

Amazing

Just riveting and true he speaks to us all reminding us that this democracy is ours to keep or lose.
