bookshelves: audio, overdrive

The unhinged president was raging like a character from Full Metal Jacket and world leaders had to be reassured by our military leaders that the country was not imploding. That is just a little of what happened after the 2020 election and the January 6th riot by Trump supporters. This book covers the primary campaigns, the election and it’s aftermath, Trump’s response to the Black Lives Matter protests, the last days of the Trump administration, the early days of the Biden administration and Trump’s continuing efforts to destroy the country as he soaks about adulation from his fawning fans.

Neither Trump nor Biden granted the authors an interview for this book. Weird, since Trump seems to have talked to every other author of the many books about the 2020 election so he could continue to whine/rant about how it was stolen from him. However, those interviews don’t seem to have been needed. There was no lack of people who were willing to provide detailed accounts of events. The book didn’t have a lot that was new other than the profound concerns that our military had after the election and riot. The first book of this trilogy was titled “Fear: Trump in the White House”. The second was titled “Rage”. If Trump makes a comeback and there is need for a fourth book it will have to be called “Devastation: How a Democracy Died”.
