After the Fall

This powerful book delves into the urgent question of why democracy is under threat, both in America and around the world. Written by a former White House aide and confidante to President Barack Obama, the author embarks on a personal quest to discover what's happening in America by looking outward at dozens of countries facing similar issues. With memoir and reporting, the book explores how America's own actions have helped shape the world we live in today, and how it's still possible to fight for what America is supposed to be.
