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?

The authors detail what transpired pre & post election & what could happen to fulfill the former president's desire to become an authoritarian dictator if the Repugnants continue to undermine democracy.

A warning of things that may kill democracy.

I was determined to finish this book hoping the outlook would give me hope that the nightmare we are living through with a dysfunctional government would end! But the authors were very even-handed in detailing the worst behavior in both parties! I'm a progressive democrat and fear we will be losing our democracy if we don't keep the Democrats in charge! But after reading this book, my fears have become even greater. The Trump Republicans have become authoritarian fascists and the Democrats are fighting with each other!

A very depressing political book for a progressive

The book and content was great. The person reading should be able to pronounce names correctly though. It was distracting how many names he mispronounced.
