The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War by Jeff Sharlet
4.0
3.5/5: We definitely are way past the “journalist tries to understand what’s happening re: Trump” saturation threshold. However Sharlet’s experience writing about religion, his weaving in of the personal, and the caliber of his writing (thoughtful, intellectual) elevate it beyond the NYT “rural diner” beat.
But ultimately he’s still doing that and the time to figure out what happened is at least 30 years too late.
The essays at the beginning and end (about Harry Belafonte and Lee Hays, respectively) are great
