RaveThe Washington PostKarl’s sobering, solid, account of Trump’s last year in office sheds new light on how the man who lost the presidency nearly succeeded in overthrowing the 2020 election. Anyone who thinks that \'it can’t happen here,\' ought to read this book ... Karl prides himself on his scoops, which have gotten lots of play in the media, but even more valuable is his coolheaded narrative ... At times, Karl blames this bedlam on the people around Trump rather than the president himself ... Many people in these pages, including Pence, stood up to Trump, and Karl tells their story well. But when Karl states \'the system held. Democracy prevailed,\' the image of the raptors in Jurassic Park testing the fences for weaknesses comes to mind.
