Literary Nonfiction. Politics. Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign seemed, at first, like a harmless joke: an eccentric billionaire's entertaining grab at free publicity. But now that Trump has moved to front-runner status for the Republican nomination, and as his rhetoric has become increasingly divisive, America and the world most confront the potential of a Trump presidency. In this highly readable analysis, Oliver Jones exposes the candidate and our media-driven culture that allowed his dangerous rise. This is the book that everyone needs to read during this election cycle—the stakes have never been higher.
