Victor Davis Hanson

From the author of the New York Times best-selling The Case for Trump, the story of Trump's triumphant comeback and what his second term means for the future of our country. When Donald Trump left office in January 2021, most observers thought his political career was over. Silenced on social media, pilloried by the press, and targeted for prosecution, the ex-president's future appeared bleak. But in the months and years that followed, Trump staged a historic political comeback, rising from disgrace to win a second presidential term that launched a social, cultural, political, and economic transformation for America.
Here, best-selling author Victor Davis Hanson pinpoints how Trump regained power and came to lead an American counterrevolution. As Hanson reveals, the success and aggressiveness of Trump's second-term agenda can only be fully understood as the product of his four years in the political and legal wilderness. Hanson details the tactical errors and overreaches of Trump's opponents, as well as how Trump took note of those persecuting him and shaped his renewed agenda around striking back.
Packed with indispensable insight into the larger patterns behind Donald Trump's rise, fall, and victorious return, The Counterrevolution is the definitive account of how a reelection transformed contemporary American history.
