David Rohde...raises more questions than he answers.

...compelling and timely.

...a fascinating new book.

Throughout his immaculately researched work, Rohde inserts the career stories of 'good civil servants,' including many of the officials who testified in the impeachment hearings. As this revelatory book shows, the deep state, which now incorporates such nonelected loyalists as Rudy Giuliani, Sean Hannity, and Barr, has become the government itself. A vital investigation for this election year—and far beyond..

... an illuminating history of the often tense relationship between U.S. presidents and the career civil servants who enact—or, by some accounts, thwart—their policies.
