Description
“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 Republication 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.
Advance Praise
“In this important book, Bill Kuhn spells out in a clear, easily accessible and well-researched manner the depth and breadth of the damage the Republican Party and the rest of the far-Right has done to the American people and American democracy in recent decades. Facts &Fury makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of why our country has gone so far off track.”
—Lincoln Mitchell, Columbia University
"Facts & Fury by Bill Kuhn is an incisive and witty look at the greatest (I mean worst) moments in recent Republican Party history. Kuhn weaves together American political, religious, and economic trends since FDR's New Deal to explain how we ended up with Trump. It's a not-so-pretty must-read for anyone who cares about Democracy."
—Mary Shannon Little, writer and lawyer
“We are lucky to have Bill Kuhn out there in the trenches fighting for a better America. Now, he has written a powerful, timely, and much-needed analysis of how the Republican party went off the rails, abandoned its mandate, and embraced extremism. It’s a scary book, but still manages to be hopeful.”
—AJ Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically
“No matter which side of the aisle you’re on, Bill Kuhn’s Facts & Fury is an indispensable guide to America’s troubled electoral system. It is at once a playbook for the remarkable Republican game plan and a call to action for those afraid of the consequences. When the votes are counted, this book will be required reading for anyone who wants to know what’s really going on—and why.”
—Jonathan Wald, TV News Executive and former adjunct, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism
