Out next week: Camelot’s End: Kennedy vs. Carter and the Fight that Broke the Democratic Party by Jon Ward.

“President Trump is curious — and White House aides, alumni and reporters are anxious — ahead of the Jan. 29 publication of the tightly embargoed Team of Vipers, a delicious, unsparing memoir by former Trump aide Cliff Sims,” Axios reports.

“ABC News has won a fiercely competitive effort to score the first broadcast interview with Sims, whose book deal was seven figures.”

“Robert Caro’s next book isn’t his fifth and final volume on Lyndon Johnson or like anything he has done before. Working: Researching, Interviewing, Writing, to be published in April, combines personal reflections and professional guidance as Caro looks back on his singular history as a writer and reporter,” the AP reports.

“Caro does have disappointing news for those waiting for the next Johnson book: The author remains ‘several years’ from completion. The fourth Johnson biography, The Passage of Power, came out in 2012, and ended in the initial months of Johnson’s presidency, after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The fifth book is expected to cover the rest of his time in the White House, which he left in 1969, and continue to his death four years later.”

Michelle Obama’s memoir, which was released on Nov. 13, is already the best-selling book of 2018, Axios reports.

“The hardcover edition of Becoming has sold more copies than any other book in the U.S. this year… and is still at #1 on two New York Times best-seller lists after two weeks.”

Coming early next year: Dog Whistle Politics: Strategic Racism, Fake Populism, and the Dividing of America by Ian Haney López.

“How politicians and plutocrats deploy veiled racial appeals to persuade white voters to support policies that favor the extremely rich yet threaten their own interests.”

“I think it makes my base stronger. I would have never said this to you. But I think the level of love now is far greater than when we won.”

— President Trump, quoted by Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie in their new book Trump’s Enemies: How the Deep State Is Undermining the Presidency, on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

“Two of the president’s longest-serving advisers allege in a new book that scores of officials inside the White House, Congress, the Justice Department and intelligence agencies are ’embedded enemies of President Trump’ working to stymie his agenda and delegitimize his presidency,” the Washington Post reports.

“The authors, Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie, are both Republican operatives who do not work in the administration but are close to Trump and fashion themselves as his outside protectors. They portray the president as victim to disloyalty on his staff and ‘swamp creatures’ intent on extinguishing his political movement.”

“The authors identify by name a number of Trump appointees who they claim have formed a ‘resistance’ inside the government during the first two years of Trump’s presidency.”

The 1965 bestselling novel Night of Camp David by Fletcher Knebel has been re-released by the publisher as What Would Happen if the President of the United States Went Stark-Raving Mad?

Senator Jim MacVeagh is proud to serve his country—and his president, Mark Hollenbach, who has a near-spotless reputation as the vibrant, charismatic leader of MacVeagh’s party and the nation. When Hollenbach begins taking MacVeagh into his confidence, the young senator knows that his star is on the rise.

But then Hollenbach starts summoning MacVeagh in the middle of the night to Camp David. There, the president sits in the dark and rants about his enemies, unfurling insane theories about all the people he says are conspiring against him.

I’d never heard of this book but it’s a must-read over the holidays.
