Secure TransactionBook Description
In 2018, former DHS Chief of Staff Miles Taylor wrote an anonymous opinion piece in The New York Times from inside the Trump administration. He revealed publicly what Trump's cabinet was saying privately: the President was dangerously unfit for office. Since then, he unmasked himself in an effort to urge voters not to reelect the most dangerous man in America in 2020 and launched the largest alliance of ex-officials in United States history to take down the president who appointed them.
Though his warning was heeded in 2020, Taylor reveals his genuine fears of a second term of a vindictive, twice impeached, and unconstrained Donald Trump in 2024. Based on exclusive interviews with Trump's closest aides and insider information, Blowback illustrates a very real potential future if we do not unify and repair our destabilized republic. It also reveals an actionable plan for every American to prevent what could be the greatest threat to our democracy.
