Description:
In the early days of the Trump presidency, the people who work
in the institutions that make America America saw Trump up close in the Oval
Office and became convinced that they had to stand up to an unbound president.
These officials faced a situation without parallel in American history: What do
you do, and who do you call, if you are the only one standing between the
president, his extraordinary powers, and the abyss?
Michael S. Schmidt’s Donald Trump v. The United States tells the dramatic,
high-stakes story of those who felt compelled to confront and try to contain
the most powerful man in the world as he shredded norms and sought to expand
his power.
Schmidt has broken many of the major stories of the Trump era, from the news of
Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email account to the report on former FBI
director James Comey’s contemporaneous memos of conversations with Trump that
led directly to the appointment of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. Now
he takes us inside the defining events of the presidency, chronicles them up
close, and records the clash between an increasingly emboldened president and
those around him, who find themselves trying to thwart the president they had
pledged to serve, unsure whether he is acting in the interest of the country,
his ego, his family business, or Russia. Through their eyes and ears, we
observe an epic struggle.
Drawing on secret FBI and White House documents and confidential sources inside
federal law enforcement and the West Wing, Donald Trump v. The United States is
vital journalism, recording the shocking reality of a presidency like no other,
a riveting contemporary history, and a lasting account of just how fragile and
vulnerable the institutions of American democracy really are.
With unparalleled reporting, a Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times reporter
continues to break news about the most important political story of our lives
as he chronicles the clash between a president and the officials of his own
government who tried to stop him.
