Fascism did not rise in the 30's because it was strong but rather because Democracy was weak. David Frum has written an essential book for a time when the pillars and norms of American Democracy are under threat from the leaders pledged to preserve it. --Stephen Schmidt, strategist for George W. Bush, John Mccain, and Arnold Schwarzenegger An outstanding chronicle of the unending corruption, deceit, and chaos that acts as rocket fuel for the administration, and ego, of President Donald J. Trump. This is a brilliant book of a frightening American present, it is also an honest discussion of the gifts a Trump Presidency has unwittingly revealed. --Malcolm Nance, author of The Plot to Hack America: How Putin's Cyberspies and Wikileaks Tried to Steal the 2016 Election No conservative has been a more astute, unsparing or courageous critic of Trumpism than David Frum. Trumpocracy is a powerful summation of the case against Trump based on a close reading of his first year in office. Even those who have followed the Trump administration closely will find much to surprise and enrage them in Frum's devastating analysis.A must-read to understand what we went through in 2017--and where we are going next.--Max Boot, Jeane J. Kirkpatrick senior fellow in national security studies, Council on Foreign Relations
