New York Times bestselling author Sarah Kendzior documents the truth about the calculated rise to power of Donald Trump since the 1980s and how the erosion of our liberties made an American dema gogue possible.

The story of Donald Trump's rise to power is the story of a buried American history – buried because people in power liked it that way. It was visible without being seen, influential without being named, ubiquitous without being overt.

Sarah Kendzior's Hiding in Plain Sight pulls back the veil on a history spanning decades, a history of an American autocrat in the making. In doing so, she reveals the inherent fragility of American democracy – how our continual loss of freedom, the rise of consolidated corruption, and the secrets behind a burgeoning autocratic United States have been hiding in plain sight for decades.

In Kendzior's signature and celebrated style, she expertly outlines Trump's meteoric rise from the 1980s until today, interlinking key moments of his life with the degradation of the American political system and the continual erosion of our civil liberties by foreign powers. Kendzior also offers a never-before-seen look at her lifelong tendency to be in the wrong place at the wrong time – living in New York through 9/11 and in St. Louis during the Ferguson uprising, and researching media and authoritarianism when Trump emerged using the same tactics as the post-Soviet dictatorships she had long studied.

It is a terrible feeling to sense a threat coming, but it is worse when we let apathy, doubt, and fear prevent us from preparing ourselves. Hiding in Plain Sight confronts the injustice we have too long ignored because the truth is the only way forward.

Hi all,

Just a friendly reminder that this is a deal discussion thread, and not all deals are going to appeal to all members.

If you like this deal, please TU.

Don't? TD and please feel free to move on to one that you might like better.

Have something to add to the deal discussion? Please do so, but that doesn't mean that political commentary, jokes, etc. are allowed, because they aren't.

Despite the fact that politics bring out the worst in most of us, let's all try to keep it clean and remember that Slickdeals was a platform ultimately made for the deals.

Thanks!

Obviously? You do realize that there are people that may enjoy a book like this and it does appear to be on sale at a reduced price, right? To suggest something like that would mean that Slickdeals must ban ALL political items, and who knows where to draw the line there???

One of the options to thumbs down is, not a good product. I'm pretty sure everyone could benefit from less political bullshit

I've read it and besides being a great deal it's very informative on the rise of a current politician.
