Acerca de esta escucha

It could have been so much worse: a deeply reported, insider story of how a handful of Washington officials staged a daring resistance to an unprecedented presidency and prevented chaos overwhelming the government and the nation.

Each federal employee takes an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic,” but none had imagined that enemy might be the Commander-in-Chief. With the presidency of Donald Trump, a fault line between the president and vital forces within his government was established. Those who honored their oath of office, their obligation to the Constitution, were wary of the president and they in turn were not trusted and occasionally fired and replaced with loyalists.

American Resistance is the first book to chronicle the unprecedented role so many in the government were forced to play and the consequences of their actions during the Trump administration. From Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and his brother Yevgeny, to Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, to Bill Taylor, Fiona Hill, and the official who first called himself “Anonymous”—Miles Taylor, among others, Rothkopf examines the resistance movement that slowly built in Washington. Drawing from first hand testimonies, deep background and research, American Resistance shows how when the President threatened to run amok, a few key figures rose in defiance. It reveals the conflict within the Department of Justice over actively seeking instances of election fraud and abuse to help the president illegally retain power, and multiple battles within the White House over the influence of Jared and Ivanka, and in particular the extraordinary efforts to get them security clearances even after they were denied to them.

David Rothkopf chronicles how each person came to realize that they were working for an administration that threatened to wreak havoc–one Defense Secretary was told by his mother to resign before it was too late–in an intense drama in which a few good men and women stood up to the tyrant in their midst.

Well written.

This was a great book about the good people that protected us from authoritarianism and the monster that tried to subvert our democracy.

Every person living in the United States should read

A riveting text with endless examples of how the Constitution uniquely protects ALL Americans and, by its words, creates a government that, however invisible its beneficial effects may be, prevents mismanagement and misappropriation by those in power while also enhancing the lives of all its citizens, from the most to the least powerful.

Facts matter not only to the election of 2020 but to the future of the American Democratic Republic and all it stands for. This book is based on actual events and people.

Lots of Interesting, Recycled Stories

Readers of Trump-era books won't find much new here but the accounts are all well-told and thematically repackaged.

One vital note: the people in this book, for the most part, did not attempt to defy the orders of Trump. They tried to carry out his dictates in a manner that was consistent with their obligations to uphold the constitution and law. The so-called Deep State was more than willing to work for Trump. They bent 99% of the way to understand him; he wouldn't put in the 1% effort needed to understand the needs of the people trying to carry out his orders. The Deep State all but begged Trump, "Help us, help you!"

He wouldn't do it. Better to not get things done, and keep his base angry, than do something helpful to his base by capitulating 1% to the laws that govern the government he ran.
