About American Resistance: The Inside Story Of How The
Product Description It could have been so much worse: a deeply reported, insider story of how a handful of Washington officials staged a daring resistance to an unprecedented presidency and prevented chaos overwhelming the government and the nation. Each federal employee takes an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic,” but none had imagined that enemy might be the Commander-in-Chief. With the presidency of Donald Trump, a fault line between the president and vital forces within his government was established. Those who honored their oath of office, their obligation to the Constitution, were wary of the president and they in turn were not trusted and occasionally fired and replaced with loyalists. American Resistance is the first book to chronicle the unprecedented role so many in the government were forced to play and the consequences of their actions during the Trump administration. From Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and his brother Yevgeny, to Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, to Bill Taylor, Fiona Hill, and the official who first called himself “Anonymous”—Miles Taylor, among others, Rothkopf examines the resistance movement that slowly built in Washington. Drawing from first hand testimonies, deep background and research, American Resistance shows how when the President threatened to run amok, a few key figures rose in defiance. It reveals the conflict within the Department of Justice over actively seeking instances of election fraud and abuse to help the president illegally retain power, and multiple battles within the White House over the influence of Jared and Ivanka, and in particular the extraordinary efforts to get them security clearances even after they were denied to them. David Rothkopf chronicles how each person came to realize that they were working for an administration that threatened to wreak havoc – one Defense Secretary was told by his mother to resign before it was too late – in an intense drama in which a few good men and women stood up to the tyrant in their midst. Review “This deeply researched and finely written story of the Trump presidency functions as the ultimate political cautionary tale. David Rothkopf has spent much of his life sailing the treacherous waters of Washington, and in American Resistance, he brings a sharply observed set of sensible observations and timely prescriptions to help us navigate the roiling waters of our dangerously turbulent republic. A necessary and riveting book.”―Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret.), former supreme allied commander, NATO “Rothkopf has written the Trump administration story that needs to be told: how close we came to losing our democracy and the public servants who saved us. In American Resistance: The Inside Story of How the Deep State Saved the Nation, Rothkopf expertly explains how the much maligned ‘Deep State’ is actually a cohort of steadfast professionals committed to honoring the oaths they took to uphold the Constitution. This book offers essential insights into a vitally important world too few understand or appreciate.”―Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, USA (Ret.), author of Here, Right Matters “Finally—the inside story of Trump’s chaotic presidency and the extraordinary measures taken to keep the government from falling apart. A chilling and revealing portrait of how close America came to the brink under Trump. Rothkopf pulls back the curtain of the turbulent Trump presidency in a way others haven’t. Revelatory.”―Miles Taylor, author (as “Anonymous”) of A Warning and former chief of staff, US Department of Homeland Security “The Deep State is real . . . and thank goodness for it. Rothkopf brings his insight and devout patriotism to a fascinating examination of the honorable, diligent, and skilled public servants who are critical to preventing democracy’s demise at the hands of MAGA authoritarians. This is a must-read if you want to know how government functions and care about A
