The past four years in the United States have been among the most turbulent in our history--and would have been so even without a global pandemic and waves of protest nationwide against police violence. Drawn from the recent work of The Atlantic staff writers and contributors, The American Crisis explores the factors that led us to the present moment: racial division, economic inequality, political dysfunction, the hollowing out of government, the devaluation of truth, and the unique threat posed by Donald Trump.
What The Reviewers Say
The American Crisis is a 500-page collection of the best of the Atlantic magazine in the age of Trump.
While built from standalone pieces, the book is meant to tell a unified story.
In keeping with the Atlantic's goal of 'debating and illuminating America’s meaning and purpose,' editor at large Murphy gathers 40 incisive essays from an impressive roster of contributors.
