The Steal

An indispensable and alarming ground-level record…In their terrific new book…the authors have used a stethoscope to examine the minutia of the American election process. The result is a thrilling and suspenseful celebration of the survival of democracy. * Guardian *
A lean, fast-paced and important account of the chaotic final weeks of the Trump administration. * New York Times *
The Steal is a terrifying picture of the civil war that began on Election Day 2020. Here is the rancor, distrust, and deception that spun into the conspiracies and rabbit holes that Donald Trump has used to undermine truth, logic, and common sense. This is the behind-the-scenes world of the Big Lie. The Steal reads like an edge-of-your-seat political thriller - one without a happy ending. – Michael Wolff
The Steal is brilliant, an incredibly important document reported without bile or self-righteousness. A book every conservative should read. – P.J. O’Rourke
Rousing, infuriating, sobering, and instructive, this page-turning account of the election debacle exposes the legal, political, and, sadly, even physical attacks on those civic-minded individuals trusted with upholding democracy’s foundations and those committed to destroying that trust. A riveting must-read for all concerned about the future of American democracy. * Booklist (starred review) *
