| Summary |
The former White House director of communications explores how Barack Obama navigated the insane political forces that created Trump, explaining why everyone got 2016 wrong, and offers a path for where Democrats can go from here. Pfeiffer was one of Obama's first hires when he decided to run for president, and was at his side through two presidential campaigns and six years in the White House. Using never-before-heard stories and behind-the-scenes anecdotes, he examines how Obama succeeded despite Twitter trolls, Fox News, and the Republican Party. An irreverent take on the crazy politics of our time. |
