ƒ??Regime Change¶ÿis exceptional. It transcends its genre...the book is packed with news that will stay news...This is reporting of consequence.ƒ?�¶ÿƒ??David Remnick,¶ÿThe New Yorker

ƒ??A flabbergasting feat of political reporting.ƒ?�¶ÿƒ??Tina Brown

ƒ??Riveting and richly textured...What the authors add is the vivid detail that makes these events feel actual. They wrest reality itself back from the distorted world of entertainment, illusion, fantasy and denial that Trump has generated around himself. It is this flood of provocation, atrocity, self-dealing and fabrication that makes Haberman and Swanƒ??s counternarrative so vital.ƒ?�¶ÿƒ??Fintan Oƒ??Toole,¶ÿThe New York Times

A riveting, intimate, and revelatory account of the most radical and consequential presidency of our time.

From the two reporters who have covered him more closely than perhaps anyone else over the past decade comes this definitive portrait of Donald Trump in the White House.¶ÿRegime Change¶ÿcovers the first year of Trumpƒ??s second presidencyƒ??a term liberated from every constraint that defined his first. The generals who once told him ƒ??noƒ?� are gone, and the lawyers who remain have learned to pick their battles. His administration has flouted court orders and he has claimed powers that Congress once checked. What remains is a President willing to take enormous risks that have upended global markets and toppled heads of state; an imperial President operating almost entirely on instinct alone.

Based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administrationƒ??s most closely guarded rooms,¶ÿRegime Change¶ÿtakes the reader inside the Situation Room and into the secret Oval Office deliberations that have launched a new war in the Middle East and seen Trump seal the border, surge National Guard troops into cities, and send immigration agents into deadly clashes with protestors. Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan bring us behind the scenes of a presidency that has transformed the culture, turned the Justice Department into an agent of retribution against the Presidentƒ??s enemies and the office itself into a brazen vehicle for profit. They reveal a second term propelled by a historical irony that Trump himself has come to understand: that the indictments, the convictions, the assassination attempts, and four years of exile made him not weaker but far more powerful, more vengeful, and more willing to gamble than any President in modern history.

This is the story of how Trump has used that power, who has tried to stop him, and why nearly all of them have failed. It is also the story of something American journalists are more accustomed to chronicling in distant capitals than in their own: a President who has fundamentally altered the nature of the office he holdsƒ??and, with it, how the rest of the world understands American power. It is an account of¶ÿRegime Change¶ÿright here in Americaƒ??a landmark real-time history of a modern presidency like no other.
