really liked it

Woodward’s and Costa’s excellent research focusing on the tumultuous election year of 2020 and the transition from the Trump presidency to that of Biden points out how dangerous it was for our democracy. It was worse than I thought. The drip, drip, drip of daily news reporting tends to minimize the importance of key events—so Woodward’s and Costa’s interviews with key administration officials and military leaders provide powerful insight into just how vulnerable our democracy was on January 6th—and may still be in future elections.

Sean McLaughlin Hi Kathleen, can you tell me if this book touches on the 2020 election - specifically the ensuing claims of ‘fraud’ by President Trump in the hours during and days after the election itself?
