- Marc Andreessen: "Best (?) book so far on the Republican side of the 2016 race, and a deep dive into the intellectual origins of Bannonism and to some extent Trumpism." source ↗
Summary
Joshua Green's 2017 book traces the alliance between Donald Trump and Steve Bannon that powered Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. It follows Bannon's trajectory from Goldman Sachs banker to Breitbart editor to White House strategist, and documents how the merger of economic populism and nationalist media created a political force that upended the Republican Party. The book is a report on the mechanics of a campaign that defied every conventional political model.
