Regime Change

From the two reporters who have covered him more closely than perhaps anyone else over the past decade comes this definitive portrait of Donald Trump in the White House and the first year of his second presidency.

Based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administration’s most closely guarded rooms, Regime Change takes the reader into the secret Oval Office deliberations that have launched a new war in the Middle East, and seen Trump seal the border, surge National Guard troops into cities and send immigration agents into deadly clashes with protestors. They reveal a second term propelled by a historical irony that Trump himself has come to understand: that the indictments, the convictions, the assassination attempts, and four years of exile made him not weaker but far more powerful, more vengeful, and more willing to gamble than any President in modern history.

This is the story of how Trump has used power, who has tried to stop him and why nearly all of them have failed. It is the story of a President who has fundamentally altered the nature of the office he holds – and how the rest of the world understands American power. It is an account of Regime Change in America – a landmark real-time history of a modern presidency like no other.
