From the cofounder of Fight for a Better America, the non-profit organization dedicated to voter engagement and local grassroots organizing, is a searing, unflinching, and thorough exploration of the Republican Party’s dissolution of government.

“Only when enough of us recognize that the Republicans are waging a war on our democracy will we be able to rally a resistance, fight back, and reclaim our government,” writes author Bill Kuhn in this engrossing and outraged study of the GOP’s commitment to weaken public institutions and erode the public’s trust in democracy.

Although conflicts over the role of government have always existed, the level of partisanship and division that we know today is staggering. Can the US repair forty years of the Right’s destruction? The answer is yes, says Kuhn, but only if voters understand the Republican Party’s role in the country’s growing division.

Written in brilliant and easily digestible chapters, you will discover how Trump became the logical consequence of decades worth of corruption, fear-mongering, and destructive policies. Kuhn uncovers the blatantly racist style of politics inherent in the GOP from Goldwater’s opposition to the Civil Rights Movement to Reagan’s aversion to public welfare. Each chapter is poignant and a well-researched entry contributing to the national conversation and debate of how we got to where we are today.

Facts & Fury is a revelatory work of scholarship and a laceration of the Republican Party that will energize the country and encourage discussion. Much more, it is a call to arms to halt the GOP’s efforts, engage our neighbors, and ultimately strengthen American democracy.
