It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump by Stuart Stevens

informative medium-paced

2.5

I don't really understand the point of this book. It didn't tell me anything I didn't know and seemed written to confirm what liberals already know rather than reveal what conservatives refuse to see. For someone whose entire job has been persuasion for his whole career, it's oddly lacking in persuasive content. Why write it if you aren't going to convince anyone of anything with it?

That said, it's a pretty good summary of all the reasons the modern Republican party deserves to lose elections. So I guess if that's what you're looking for, you've found it.
