Thank You For Your Servitude book cover
Thank You For Your Servitude
Donald Trump's Washington and the Price of Submission
Mark Leibovich - 2022-07-12
Calificación de Goodreads
"Thank You For Your Servitude" by Mark Leibovich is a shocking eyewitness account of how the Republican Party transformed from rugged individualists to a sycophantic personality cult under Donald Trump's presidency. Leibovich tracks the moral rout of major American politicians and their transformation into the administration's chief enablers, creating a dangerous culture of submission. The book sheds light on the events leading up to January 6, 2021, and explores how far politicians would go to maintain their power and relevance. This unflinching account is a must-read to understand the reality of American politics.

Discover the devastating story of the battle to reclaim Manila in 1945. General Douglas MacArthur planned a triumphant victory parade, but the Japanese had other plans. Rampage follows the catastrophic destruction and brutalization of the city's civilian population, resulting in a massacre as harrowing as the Rape of Nanking. This heartbreaking account draws from war-crimes testimony, after-action reports, and survivor interviews to document one of the most tragic chapters in Pacific War history.
