leonardoz 's review for:
I would like to thank NetGalley and the author David Rothkopf for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
This book tries to determine whether the actions of US President Donald Trump can be considered acts of treason. Although strictly speaking by constitutional definition they appear not to be, through another perspective they may well be. The author makes comparison to historically similar situations to make the case that Trump’s actions are indeed acts of treason.
The author tries to help us understand not only why today’s situation is different than similar incidents in the country’s history but why it is more dangerous than perhaps any other the nation has faced, other than the civil war, and what, if anything, history suggests we can do about it.
The material has been well researched and the arguments are persuasive. Unfortunately, in the current deeply divided state of the public in the US half of the audience will love this book and the other half will hate it and consider it deeply misguided. Truth and facts are currently heavily undervalued. So much the pity. The author is to be commended for making a good effort.
