American Carnage

If you???re looking for an inside view of the Republican schism between populist and Never Trump wings, this is a pretty solid book, with occasionally pithy writing. If, like me, you want to explore the ???paranoid style??? from the John Birch Society onwards, you???re going to be underwhelmed. Basically it???s a view of the rise of the Tea Party through the first few years of Trump???s presidency from a Never Trump perspective, valuable in its own way but hardly the social or political commentary I was hoping for.
