“Since the moment that Trump claimed victory, political observers have said that America is in uncharted waters. Schier and Eberly provide an excellent chart of the early days of this unusual administration. Thoughtful, balanced, and politically savvy, this book carefully distinguishes the real from the fake, and the unprecedented from the conventional. At a time of partisan heat and intellectual confusion, it provides a temperate guide for the perplexed.”
