The shocking, definitive account of the 2020 election and the first year of the Biden presidency by two New York Times reporters, exposing the deep fissures within both parties as the country approaches a political breaking point.
This is the authoritative account of an eighteen-month crisis in American democracy that will be seared into the country’s political memory for decades to come. With stunning, in-the-room detail, New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns show how both our political parties confronted a series of national traumas, including the coronavirus pandemic, the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and the political brinksmanship of President Biden’s first year in the White House.
From Donald Trump’s assault on the 2020 election and his ongoing campaign of vengeance against his fellow Republicans, to the behind-the-scenes story of Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris as his running mate and his bitter struggles to unite the Democratic Party, this book exposes the degree to which the two-party system has been strained to the point of disintegration. More than at any time in recent history, the long-established traditions and institutions of American politics are under siege as a set of aging political leaders struggle to hold together a changing country.
Martin and Burns break news on most every page, drawing on hundreds of interviews and never-before-seen documents and recordings from the highest levels of government. The book asks the vitally important (and disturbing) question: can American democracy, as we know it, ever work again?
Alexander Burnes travelled up the Indus to Lahore and to the
Khanates of Afghanistan and Central Asia in the 1830s, spying on
behalf of the British Government in what was to become known as the
'Great Game'. His account of these travels was a bestseller in its
day and this brand new edition brings the heady sense of
excitement, risk and zeal bursting from the pages.

Alexander Burnes was a British adventurer and employee of the East
India Company during this turbulent era. He spoke Hindi and Persian
and was nicknamed 'Bokhara Burnes' for his role in establishing
contact with and exploring Bukhara, which made his name. He was
rumored to be a spy during the first Afghan War and was knighted by
Queen Victoria for his clandestine services during the conflict.
Burnes kept a lively, detailed record of his trail-blazing journey
across Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, the Indian sub-continent and beyond
which he later published to great acclaim, entitled Travels into
Bokhara - A Voyage up the Indus to Lahore and a Journey to Cabool,
Tartary & Persia.
