Where Tyranny Begins

“How Donald Trump bent two of the country’s most powerful law-enforcement agencies to his will.” – New York Times“Well-equipped to tell this story.… Rohde sees the existential danger.” – Eugene L. Meyer - Washington Independent Review of Books“Although Rohde doesn’t hide his conviction that Trump undermined democracy with his salvos against the Justice Department’s independence, he nonetheless writes in measured, restrained language that should hold up well in the light of history. Where Tyranny Begins is a work of reporting and sober analysis, not polemic.” – David Greenberg - New York Times Book Review“Where Tyranny Begins, like all of David Rohde’s work, is deeply sourced and thoroughly researched. It raises the reader above the never-ending assault of headlines to a compelling narrative that sheds light, at last, on the Justice Department’s struggles to reckon with Donald Trump.” – Andrea Bernstein, Peabody Award–winning co-host of the Trump, Inc. podcast from WNYC and ProPublica and author of American Oligarchs“A hard-hitting book…A cautionary, relevant study of systematic executive bullying.” – Kirkus Reviews
