The Project

“Whittles [Project 2025] down to an easily manageable summation, providing a handy and necessary reference guide for concerned citizens … Concise and well-reasoned, Graham’s critical handbook uncovers the players and the plays orchestrating this revolutionary political movement that will impact the nation well beyond the four years of Trump’s second term.”—Booklist, starred review “A close look at the ultra-rightist Project 2025, now playing in a capital near you … [Project 2025] has four chief aims: to restore the man-headed family, dismantle the ‘administrative state,’ close the border and defend the nation’s sovereignty, and ‘secure our God-given individual rights to live freely… .’ Essential reading for anyone trying to make sense of the Trumpian maelstrom.”—Kirkus Reviews
