Few now care as passionately and as violently as people did then about Soviet-American relations. It was a time when friends became enemies, and others forged strange alliances, all in the name of commitments that today seem remote. A Better World evokes those times and their choices, and explains why these long-ago battles still arouse such deep feelings today - and should.Americans who were pro-Soviet without being members of the Communist party - 'progressives' as they called themselves - had a large emotional investment in the Soviet Union. From 1935 to 1939 literally millions joined the 'Popular Front' of pro-Soviet organizations. O'Neill takes us through the shock of the Stalin-Hitler pact of 1939, through the revival of the Popular Front spurred by government and business support after Russia entered the war against Hitler. He traces the isolation of the anti-Stalinists, the rise and fall of Henry Wallace, and the eclipse of progressivism. And he explores the shifting allegiances of intellectuals as they struggled, often with each other, to influence the course of public debate, with long-lasting consequences for American intellect, culture, and morals.As O'Neill observes in his introduction, 'More than any of my other books A Better World inspired correspondents to send me probing or reflective letters.' It was this response, along with the extraordinary critical debate spurred by initial publication of this volume, that makes the book's continuing importance clear. The dream of achieving a better world through radical violence never dies, and the willingness of apologists to cling to utopian visions persists. As long as it does, the lessons of this book need to be available to us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holiday House, 1983","offers":[{"title":"A Better World-The Great Schism: Stalinism and the American Intellectuals (Touchstone Books (Paperback)) \/ Good","offer_id":47946287218980,"sku":"9780671492670GD","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/9780671492670_2c778245-f25e-437f-8b84-23c7ff1924e8.jpg?v=1718810088"},{"product_id":"9780451528841","title":"The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates (Signet Classics) - Ketcham, Ralph (editor)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates (Signet Classics)\u003c\/u\u003e by Ketcham, Ralph (editor)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Mass-Market Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by Signet, 2003\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe complete texts of the documents that tell the story of the clashes and compromises that gave birth to the Unites States of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eShould the members of the government be elected by direct vote of the people? \u003cbr\u003e\nShould the government be headed by a single executive, and how powerful should that executive be?\u003cbr\u003e\nShould immigrants be allowed into the United States?\u003cbr\u003e \nHow should judges be appointed? \u003cbr\u003e\nWhat human rights should be safe from government infringement? \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1787, these important questions and others were raised by such statesmen as Patrick Henry and John DeWitt as the states debated the merits of the proposed Constitution.

Many remain activists today, and experience and the passage of time allow them to transcend nostalgia to form more realistic perspectives on past, present, and future. They discuss the civil rights and antiwar movements, the political outcome of the sixties, patriotism, terror, and the role of young people in the future. Important gains were made during the sixties, but there were many setbacks, too, that influence today's voters, leaders, candidates, and our day-to-day realities. The sixties of this book are not simply a sweet memory of marijuana and album rock; there were many casualties, including innocence and youthful idealism.

A Yale philosopher identifies the ten pillars of fascist politics, and charts their horrifying rise and deep history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the child of refugees of World War II Europe and a renowned philosopher and scholar of propaganda, Jason Stanley has a deep understanding of how democratic societies can be vulnerable to fascism: Nations don’t have to be fascist to suffer from fascist politics. In fact, fascism’s roots have been present in the United States for more than a century. Alarmed by the pervasive rise of fascist tactics both at home and around the globe, Stanley focuses here on the structures that unite them, laying out and analyzing the ten pillars of fascist politics—the language and beliefs that separate people into an “us” and a “them.” He knits together reflections on history, philosophy, sociology, and critical race theory with stories from contemporary Hungary, Poland, India, Myanmar, and the United States, among other nations. He makes clear the immense danger of underestimating the cumulative power of these tactics, which include exploiting a mythic version of a nation’s past; propaganda that twists the language of democratic ideals against themselves; anti-intellectualism directed against universities and experts; law and order politics predicated on the assumption that members of minority groups are criminals; and fierce attacks on labor groups and welfare. These mechanisms all build on one another, creating and reinforcing divisions and shaping a society vulnerable to the appeals of authoritarian leadership.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy uncovering disturbing patterns that are as prevalent today as ever, Stanley reveals that the stuff of politics—charged by rhetoric and myth—can quickly become policy and reality. Only by recognizing fascists politics, he argues, may we resist its most harmful effects and return to democratic ideals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“With unsettling insight and disturbing clarity, How Fascism Works is an essential guidebook to our current national dilemma of democracy vs. authoritarianism.”—William Jelani Cobb, author of The Substance of Hope\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Publishing Group, 2020","offers":[{"title":"How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them \/ NEW","offer_id":50310616908068,"sku":"9780525511854NW","price":17.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_0c6106bf-f02a-4f59-8439-98c08dbd2383.jpg?v=1784390542"},{"product_id":"9780804190114","title":"On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century - Snyder, Timothy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eOn Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century\u003c\/u\u003e by Snyder, Timothy\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Trade Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by Crown, 2017\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA “bracing” (Vox) guide for surviving and resisting America’s turn towards authoritarianism, from “a rising public intellectual unafraid to make bold connections between past and present” (The New York Times)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Timothy Snyder reasons with unparalleled clarity, throwing the past and future into sharp relief.

In American Character, Colin Woodard traces these two key strands in American politics through the four centuries of the nation’s existence, from the first colonies through the Gilded Age, Great Depression and the present day, and he explores how different regions of the country have successfully or disastrously accommodated them. The independent streak found its most pernicious form in the antebellum South but was balanced in the Gilded Age by communitarian reform efforts; the New Deal was an example of a successful coalition between communitarian-minded Eastern elites and Southerners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWoodard argues that maintaining a liberal democracy, a society where mass human freedom is possible, requires finding a balance between protecting individual liberty and nurturing a free society. Going to either libertarian or collectivist extremes results in tyranny. But where does the “sweet spot” lie in the United States, a federation of disparate regional cultures that have always strongly disagreed on these issues? Woodard leads readers on a riveting and revealing journey through four centuries of struggle, experimentation, successes and failures to provide an answer. His historically informed and pragmatic suggestions on how to achieve this balance and break the nation’s political deadlock will be of interest to anyone who cares about the current American predicament—political, ideological, and sociological.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viking, 2016","offers":[{"title":"American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good \/ Very Good","offer_id":50796425347364,"sku":"9780525427896VG","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_0f4c6aba-8567-4b88-a973-02c0e757e23d.jpg?v=1784391232"},{"product_id":"9780875530208","title":"The Quest for Health Reform: A Satirical History - Georges C.

Observers declared the end of history, confident in a peaceful, globalized future. This faith was misplaced. Authoritarianism returned to Russia, as Vladimir Putin found fascist ideas that could be used to justify rule by the wealthy. In the 2010s, it has spread from east to west, aided by Russian warfare in Ukraine and cyberwar in Europe and the United States.  \n\n\n\nRussia found allies among nationalists, oligarchs, and radicals everywhere, and its drive to dissolve Western institutions, states, and values found resonance within the West itself.  The rise of populism, the British vote against the EU, and the election of Donald Trump were all Russian goals, but their achievement reveals the vulnerability of Western societies.\n\n\n\nIn this forceful and unsparing work of contemporary history, based on vast research as well as personal reporting, Snyder goes beyond the headlines to expose the true nature of the threat to democracy and law. To understand the challenge is to see, and perhaps renew, the fundamental political virtues offered by tradition and demanded by the future. By revealing the stark choices before us--between equality or oligarchy, individuality or totality, truth and falsehood--Snyder restores our understanding of the basis of our way of life, offering a way forward in a time of terrible uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crown, 2019","offers":[{"title":"The Road to Unfreedom Russia, Europe, America \/ Very Good","offer_id":51258040615204,"sku":"9780525574477VG","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_d3a36748-2296-437f-8b87-2cb4991133a4.jpg?v=1784391815"},{"product_id":"9781501135972","title":"American Marxism - Levin, Mark R.","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eAmerican Marxism\u003c\/u\u003e by Levin, Mark R.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover with Dust Jacket\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by Simon and Schuster, 2021\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFox News star and radio host Mark R.

Levin galvanized conservatives with his unforgettable manifesto Liberty and Tyranny, by providing a philosophical, historical, and practical framework for halting the liberal assault on Constitution-based values. That book was about standing at the precipice of progressivism’s threat to our freedom and now, over a decade later, we’re fully over that precipice and paying the price.\n\n \n\nIn American Marxism, Levin explains how the core elements of Marxist ideology are now pervasive in American society and culture—from our schools, the press, and corporations, to Hollywood, the Democratic Party, and the Biden presidency—and how it is often cloaked in deceptive labels like “progressivism,” “democratic socialism,” “social activism,” and more. With his characteristic trenchant analysis, Levin digs into the psychology and tactics of these movements, the widespread brainwashing of students, the anti-American purposes of Critical Race Theory and the Green New Deal, and the escalation of repression and censorship to silence opposing voices and enforce conformity. Levin exposes many of the institutions, intellectuals, scholars, and activists who are leading this revolution, and provides us with some answers and ideas on how to confront them. \n\n \n\nAs Levin writes: “The counter-revolution to the American Revolution is in full force. And it can no longer be dismissed or ignored for it is devouring our society and culture, swirling around our everyday lives, and ubiquitous in our politics, schools, media, and entertainment.” And, like before, Levin seeks to rally the American people to defend their liberty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon and Schuster, 2021","offers":[{"title":"American Marxism \/ Very Good","offer_id":51258041270564,"sku":"9781501135972VG","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_8086453d-6ff3-4b3e-a812-58a4789261f4.jpg?v=1784391822"},{"product_id":"9780156701532","title":"The Origins of Totalitarianism - Arendt, Hannah","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Origins of Totalitarianism\u003c\/u\u003e by Arendt, Hannah\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1973\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"How could such a book speak so powerfully to our present moment?

Nowadays, autocracies are underpinned not by one dictator, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, surveillance technologies, and professional propagandists, all of which operate across multiple regimes, from China to Russia to Iran.

Illiberal nationalism, however, emerged in the United States after the Civil War—resulting in the failure of Reconstruction, the rise of Jim Crow, and the restriction of immigration. Much of American history, Lepore argues, has been a battle between these two forms of nationalism, liberal and illiberal, all the way down to the nation’s latest, bitter struggles over immigration.\n\n \n\n Defending liberalism, as This America demonstrates, requires making the case for the nation. But American historians largely abandoned that defense in the 1960s when they stopped writing national history. By the 1980s they’d stopped studying the nation-state altogether and embraced globalism instead. “When serious historians abandon the study of the nation,” Lepore tellingly writes, “nationalism doesn’t die. Instead, it eats liberalism.” But liberalism is still in there, Lepore affirms, and This America is an attempt to pull it out. “In a world made up of nations, there is no more powerful way to fight the forces of prejudice, intolerance, and injustice than by a dedication to equality, citizenship, and equal rights, as guaranteed by a nation of laws.”\n\n \n\n A manifesto for a better nation, and a call for a “new Americanism,” This America reclaims the nation’s future by reclaiming its past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Geographic Books, 2019","offers":[{"title":"This America The Case for the Nation \/ Very Good","offer_id":53250712830244,"sku":"9781631496417VG","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_2bcec223-4ca4-409e-a6e5-10d0b65e3382.jpg?v=1784392859"},{"product_id":"9780593652961","title":"Democracy Awakening Notes on the State of America - Richardson, Heather Cox","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eDemocracy Awakening Notes on the State of America\u003c\/u\u003e by Richardson, Heather Cox\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover with Dust Jacket\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by Penguin, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA vital and urgent call to action about the precarious state of American democracy, charting its historical challenges and current threats, from one of our era’s most important and insightful historians, with a new afterword by the author.\n\n“Magisterial.” –The Washington Post\n\n“An excellent primer for anyone who needs the important facts of the last 150 years of American history–and how they got us to the sorry place we inhabit today.” –Guardian\n\nAt a time when the very foundations of American democracy seem under threat, the lessons of the past offer a road map for navigating a moment of political crisis. In Democracy Awakening, acclaimed historian Heather Cox Richardson delves into the tumultuous journey of American democracy, tracing the roots of Donald Trump’s “authoritarian experiment” to the earliest days of the republic. She examines the historical forces that have led to the current political climate, showing how modern conservatism has preyed upon a disaffected population, weaponizing language and promoting false history to consolidate power.\n\n\n\nWith remarkable clarity and the same accessible voice that brings millions to her newsletter, Letters from an American, Richardson wrangles a chaotic news feed into a story that pivots effortlessly from the Founders to the abolitionists to Nixon to the January 6 insurrection.

Despite Donald Trump’s many legal and moral abuses, most Republican Party leaders continue to support him. Why? How can we explain Republican complicity? True believers in the MAGA cult are rare. There are moderate Republican members of Congress – Kevin McCarthy, Lindsay Graham, and Mitch McConnell – who publicly rebuked Trump, only to later back down and support him and his version of the truth. The motivation driving these powerful political leaders – fear, self-interest, lack of moral fiber – is less interesting than is a related question: What propelled the moral courage of the few traditionally conservative Republicans who refused to go along with Trump and his obvious lies? The world saw great physical courage on January 6th, as members of the Capital police fought against overwhelming odds, risking their lives to protect members of Congress. Such physical courage is commendable and rare. Yet moral courage – the willingness to stand up and fight for what you believe is right, even when you know it will cost you – is even rarer. How can we explain why some Republicans followed their consciences, while many others did not? This is the topic of this book. Analyzing in-depth interviews, public speeches, journals, documents, and other data from dedicated Republicans -- Senators McCain, Romney, and Flake, Representatives Kinzinger and Cheney, committed Republican stalwarts Rick Wilson and Anthony Scaramucci, and dedicated Republican officeholders like Miles Taylor -- lends insight into both what drives moral courage, and the double-edged sword aspect of moral courage in politics, in which every act of moral courage is also a complex act of betrayal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ethics International Press Limited, 2024","offers":[{"title":"Politics, Principle and Standing Up to Donald Trump Moral Courage in the Republican Party \/ Very Good","offer_id":53375547932964,"sku":"9781804415269VG","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_7e5ce70b-0a19-4faf-8370-c12cb12eefce.jpg?v=1784393229"},{"product_id":"9780399589812","title":"The Soul of America The Battle for Our Better Angels - Meacham, Jon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Soul of America The Battle for Our Better Angels\u003c\/u\u003e by Meacham, Jon\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover with Dust Jacket\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by Random House Publishing Group, 2018\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur current climate of partisan fury is not new, and in The Soul of America Meacham shows us how what Abraham Lincoln called the “better angels of our nature” have repeatedly won the day.

Johnson, and illuminating the courage of such influential citizen activists as Martin Luther King, Jr., early suffragettes Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt, civil rights pioneers Rosa Parks and John Lewis, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and Army-McCarthy hearings lawyer Joseph N.

Each of these dramatic hours in our national life have been shaped by the contest to lead the country to look forward rather than back, to assert hope over fear—a struggle that continues even now.\n\n\nWhile the American story has not always—or even often—been heroic, we have been sustained by a belief in progress even in the gloomiest of times.

A man of shameless ambition and ruthless vindictiveness, Long orchestrated elections, hired and fired thousands at will, and deployed the state militia as his personal police force. And yet, paradoxically, as governor and later as senator, Long did more good for the state’s poor and uneducated than any politician before or since. Outrageous demagogue or charismatic visionary? In this powerful biography, Richard D. White, Jr., brings Huey Long to life in all his blazing, controversial glory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhite taps invaluable new source material to present a fresh, vivid portrait of both the man and the Depression era that catapulted him to fame. From his boyhood in dirt-poor Winn Parish, Long knew he was destined for power–the problem was how to get it fast enough to satisfy his insatiable appetite. With cunning and crudity unheard of in Louisiana politics, Long crushed his opponents in the 1928 gubernatorial race, then immediately set about tightening his iron grip. The press attacked him viciously, the oil companies howled for his blood after he pushed through a controversial oil processing tax, but Long had the adulation of the people. In 1930, the Kingfish got himself elected senator, and then there was no stopping him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhite’s account of Long’s heyday unfolds with the mesmerizing intensity of a movie. Pegged by President Roosevelt as “one of the two most dangerous men in the country,” Long organized a radical movement to redistribute money through his Share Our Wealth Society–and his gospel of pensions for all, a shorter workweek, and free college spread like wildfire. The Louisiana poor already worshiped him for building thousands of miles of roads and funding schools, hospitals, and universities; his outrageous antics on the Senate floor gained him a growing national base. By 1935, despite a barrage of corruption investigations, Huey Long announced that he was running for president.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the end, Long was a tragic hero–a power addict who squandered his genius and came close to destroying the very foundation of democratic rule.

A huge, secure, and contented middle class emerged. All boats rose together. But then the New Deal gave way to the Raw Deal. Beginning in the early 1970s, by means of a long war conceived of and executed by a confederacy of big business CEOs, the superrich, and right-wing zealots, the rules and norms that made the American middle class possible were undermined and dismantled. The clock was turned back on a century of economic progress, making greed good, workers powerless, and the market all-powerful while weaponizing nostalgia, lifting up an oligarchy that served only its own interests, and leaving the huge majority of Americans with dwindling economic prospects and hope.\n\n\n\nWhy and how did America take such a wrong turn? In this deeply researched and brilliantly woven cultural, economic, and political chronicle, Kurt Andersen offers a fresh, provocative, and eye-opening history of America’s undoing, naming names, showing receipts, and unsparingly assigning blame—to the radical right in economics and the law, the high priests of high finance, a complacent and complicit Establishment, and liberal “useful idiots,” among whom he includes himself.\n\n\n\nOnly a writer with Andersen’s crackling energy, deep insight, and ability to connect disparate dots and see complex systems with clarity could make such a book both intellectually formidable and vastly entertaining. And only a writer of Andersen’s vision could reckon with our current high-stakes inflection point, and show the way out of this man-made disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Publishing Group, 2020","offers":[{"title":"Evil Geniuses The Unmaking of America: A Recent History \/ Very Good","offer_id":55119845097764,"sku":"9781984801340VG","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_90fe46ba-990d-4abd-8480-ac5cefea7d87.jpg?v=1784393759"},{"product_id":"9781982129736","title":"The Mueller Report - Washington Post","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Mueller Report\u003c\/u\u003e by Washington Post\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by Simon and Schuster, 2019\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eONE OF TIME’S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n \n\n\u003cb\u003eThe Crucial #1 New York Times Bestseller\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n \n\n\u003cb\u003e“The Mueller report is that rare Washington tell-all that surpasses its pre-publication hype…the best book by far on the workings of the Trump presidency.” —Carlos Lozada, The Washington Post\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n \n\n\u003cb\u003eThe only book with exclusive analysis by the Pulitzer Prize–winning staff of The Washington Post, and the most complete and authoritative available.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\n\nRead the findings of the Special Counsel’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, complete with accompanying analysis by the Post reporters who’ve covered the story from the beginning.\n\n \n\n This edition from The Washington Post\/Scribner contains:\n\n \n\n —The long-awaited \u003cb\u003eReport On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n \n\n —\u003cb\u003eAn introduction\u003c\/b\u003e by The Washington Post titled “A President, a Prosecutor, and the Protection of American Democracy”\n\n \n\n —\u003cb\u003eA timeline\u003c\/b\u003e of the major events of the Special Counsel’s investigation from May 2017, when Robert Mueller was appointed, to the report's delivery\n\n \n\n —\u003cb\u003eA guide to individuals\u003c\/b\u003e involved, including in the Special Counsel’s Office, the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Trump Campaign, the White House, the Trump legal defense team, and the Russians\n\n \n\n —\u003cb\u003eKey documents\u003c\/b\u003e in the Special Counsel’s investigation, including filings pertaining to General Michael T.

Only the authoritative House committee report can capture the full range of plots that have been exposed over time, from the violent attack on January 6 to related efforts revealed months after the insurrection. \n\n This definitive edition features: \n\n * New independent analysis of the coup conspiracy by MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber\n\n * The historic, official text of the House Committee report on the insurrection, including the full Executive Summary with endnotes and all chapter endnotes. \n\n * The definitive accounting of Donald Trump's efforts to end American democracy \n\n This is the only edition of the report featuring an additional, original analysis of the coup by a journalist and lawyer at the center of the action -- Melber has interviewed top members of this Committee, Jan. 6 rally planners and other cooperating witnesses, and Trump White House veterans ranging from Steve Bannon to Peter Navarro (now indicted for defying this probe). His report documents how Trump's plots comprise a continuous coup conspiracy -- not a \"riot\" that exploded in a \"single day\" -- and why that factual prism is vital for accountability, justice, and preventing the next coup attempt.\n\n In chilling detail, he shows how that process might have engineered a technical effort to \"override\" the election on the floor of Congress--an essential map, and warning, for those who wish to protect democracy. If warnings are ignored and there is no accountability for the plotters at the top, a failed coup may become a training exercise.\n\n This report is not only a vital document in modern American history, it can also inform efforts to protect the future of American democracy. As a matter of justice, bipartisanship, and even patriotism, this report will become essential reading for any American determined to defend our democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers, 2022","offers":[{"title":"The January 6 Report \/ Very Good","offer_id":55119871213860,"sku":"9780063315501VG","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_10921d91-be91-44ed-bcdc-1a687789dc15.jpg?v=1784393847"},{"product_id":"9780151009992","title":"Why Lincoln Matters: Today More Than Ever - Cuomo, Mario M.","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Lincoln Matters: Today More Than Ever\u003c\/u\u003e by Cuomo, Mario M.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover with Dust Jacket\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by Harcourt, 2004\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbraham Lincoln, long the most resonant voice of American political values, was a founding member of the Republican Party.
