American Carnage

The value of this book is as a distillation of reporting spanning the last 10+ years of US national politics. If you're looking for bombshells or new facts, then you're likely to be disappointed. But if you're looking for something that will connect the dots between the sometimes seemingly disconnected events, this is a great review of recent history.

I also appreciate that it isn't a partisan screed against Trump – although his supporters may see it that way. The author calls out Trump's strengths and abilities in plain, unapologetic language, just as he does Trump's flaws.
