Summary "[A] book critic of The Washington Post digs into the books of the Trump era and ... [asserts] that our response to this presidency often reflects the same polarization, contradictions, and resentments that made it possible"-- Provided by publisher.

Summary As a book critic for The Washington Post, Lozada has read some 150 volumes claiming to diagnose why Trump was elected and what his presidency reveals about our nation. Now he uses these books to tell the story of how we understand ourselves in the Trump era, using as his main characters the political ideas and debates at play in America today. Lozada's argument is provocative: that many of these books, whoever the author, are vulnerable to the same blind spots, resentments, and failures that gave us his presidency. Lozada also highlights the books that succeed in illuminating how America is changing in the 21st century. -- adapted from Amazon info and book jacket
