History; Politics & government

The inside story of the battle to control Congress and the unsparing fight for advantage in the 2018 midterm elections, told from inside the offices of Capitol Hill insiders including Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and Chuck Schumer Anna Palmer and Jake Sherman, the writers of Politico Playbook, take readers into the "swamp" the raptor cage that is the U.S. Congress tracking the pitched battle for control of the legislative branch in the 2018 midterm elections.

After two years of Trump's tumultuous administration, both parties are cracking from within. Paul Ryan's devil's bargain with Trump may get him the tax cuts he's long burned for, but will it also end his career? And will he and Mitch McConnell be able to fend off Trumpist far-right candidates for long enough to secure their agenda?

On the left, the savage battle for the party that sparked with Bernie Sanders's rise continues, as progressives push for ideologically pure congressional candidates and demand Nancy Pelosi's ouster while establishment figures struggle for a direction that will recapture the working-class white vote. But will they find enough cohesion to avoid blowing their slim but real chance to recapture the House of Representatives?

With inside access that ushers readers deep into the inner workings and hidden secrets of party leadership, Palmer and Sherman trace the strategy and the impulsiveness, the dealmaking and the backstabbing, in a blow-by-blow account of the power struggle roiling the halls of Congress. The Hill to Die On will be an unforgettable story of power and politics, where the stakes are nothing less than the future direction of the country.
