June 23 to July 2
These two New York Times reporters wrote a shocking definitive account of the 2020 election and the first year of Biden's presidency with an amazing amount of detail about the pandemic responses and the attack on the Capitol on January 6th by Trump supporters.
The book details Trump's attack on the 2020 elections and his campaign of vengeance against Republicans not following his lead on his assault on our democracy.
There was a lot in the book about the early Biden and Harris administration but I found that to be nowhere near as compelling as the insurrection of Trump terrorists, the assault on democracy and the botched response to the pandemic. The section on the Democrats was really about a group of aging politicians trying to hold the country together against the radical rightwing oligarchs and their religious zealot allies. Personally I think it is time for the younger generation of progressives to rise up and lead the nation forward against the maga fascists
Overall this is a very good book written by some great reporters at a time when a lot of former Trump Administration officials are writing their own books with their own versions of what happened to America during their time of responsibility. Many of them are now critical of Trump but they were (and still are) cowards who let the worst of Trump damage our nation.
