Sample Book Insights:
#1 The year 2020 began with an impeachment trial, the third in American history. The president had used his official powers to extort a political favor from a foreign leader in order to help his own reelection. His guilt was clear, but before long hardly anyone remembered the impeachment.
#2 The United States was able to come through the pandemic relatively unscathed, as we had two months to prepare and learn from the mistakes of China, Iran, and Italy. Yet, despite this, the country still became the leader in infections and deaths, far beyond its share of the global population.
#3 The US government, led by Trump, completely failed to prepare the nation for the pandemic, and when it began to spread here, no one knew what to do. The authorities gave confused instructions or none at all.
#4 The country’s political class was completely incoherent in their response to the crisis, and in some cases, completely treacherous.
