Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"How strange it is that the past is so little understood and so quickly forgotten. We live in the most thoughtless of ages. Every day headlines and short views. I have tried to drag history up a little nearer to our own times in case it should be helpful as a guide in present difficulties." - Winston Churchill, 1929 The 2016 presidential campaign concluded with the impossible - the election of billionaire non-politician Donald J. Trump. The 2020 campaign saw Trump lose to former Vice-President Joe Biden because of Trump's chaos and the COVID pandemic. The 2024 campaign revealed another seemingly impossible outcome - the return of Trump by defeating Vice-President Kamala Harris. How did Trump do that? This book chronicles the 2024 presidential election, written contemporaneously with events to capture the moment, praising and criticizing all concerned as even-handedly as humanly possible. As a chronicle, no attempt is made to correct the record in light of later revealed truths. That is a task for later historians. But later-revealed truths cannot explain how voters and the media felt in the moment, which often determines what follows. Anyone seeking to understand the course of events leading to Donald Trump's re-election will find the reading interesting, infuriating, sometimes humorous, and hopefully illuminating. This book does not explain fully how Trump won again, but it is an important start to answering that question.
