Not Just Another Trump Book

By Leave a Comment

The New York Times has a great review of American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trump by Tim Alberta, noting it “isn’t just another drop in the deluge of Trump books; in fact, it isn’t really a Trump book at all.”

“Instead it’s a fascinating look at a Republican Party that initially scoffed at the incursion of a philandering reality-TV star with zero political experience and now readily accommodates him.”
