Angebote / Angebote:

The Steal is a compelling week-by-week, state-by-state account of the attempts to challenge the results of the presidential election between November 3, 2020, and January 6, 2021, focusing on six states-Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The book will include appendices detailing a list of the 140 members of congress who voted against the certification of the results, the sixty-three lawsuits filed and their outcomes, the letter signed by all ten living former Defense Secretaries released on Jan. 3, 2021, and other relevant primary documents. Unlike other recent books covering Trump's last year in office, campaign, and the election, The Steal moves outside of Trump's inner circle, offering on-the ground reporting on local officials, party members, legislators, judges, and others who stood firm amidst threats and intimidation. Bowden and Teague worked with a team of four additional researchers and reporters and the book includes exclusive interviews and significant new reporting on the aftermath of the election in each state. Mark Bowden, a leading feature writer for the Atlantic, has regularly hit the New York Times bestseller list since Black Hawk Down (Grove, 1999). The Finish: The Killing of Osama bin Laden debuted on the list at #7. Bowden's 2017 book Hue 1968 was a New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Indie bestseller. Bowden's books continue to backlist strongly for us. Matthew Teague is a journalist who's covered C.I.A. operatives in Pakistan, famine in Somalia, double agents in Northern Ireland.
