A concise, well-told narrative... should hold up well in the light of history.--David Greenberg ""New York Times Book Review"" A hard-hitting book... A cautionary, relevant study of systematic executive bullying.-- ""Kirkus Reviews"" The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist lays out his investigation of how Donald Trump bent two of the country's most powerful law-enforcement agencies to his will... An informative overview.-- ""New York Times"" Well-equipped to tell this story... Rohde sees the existential danger.--Eugene L. Meyer ""Washington Independent Review of Books"" Where Tyranny Begins, like all of David Rohde's work, is deeply sourced and thoroughly researched. It raises the reader above the never-ending assault of headlines to a compelling narrative that sheds light, at last, on the Justice Department's struggles to reckon with Donald Trump.--Andrea Bernstein, Peabody Award-winning co-host of the Trump, Inc. podcast from WNYC and ProPublica and author of American Oligarchs I am led back to these observations as I read one essay after another--as well as a thoroughly researched, carefully balanced new book, Where Tyranny Begins, by the respected journalist David Rohde--issuing dire warnings that the greatest threat of tyranny posed by a second Trump administration is the threat of a Justice Department thoroughly subordinated, as the Constitution's design currently permits but as tradition resists, to the priorities and indeed the whims of the elected president of the United States.--Laurence Tribe ""New York Review of Books""
