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 demagogue 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
Reviews:
“It’s brilliant and also terrifying. You can’t look away.” – Alex George, author of The Paris Hours
“A chilling account of how the media, government, and public have failed to hold Trump accountable, and how this has significantly impacted U.S. democracy.” – Library Journal Review
“Hiding in Plain Sight isn’t just about Trump, but about how crumbling democracies intent on rolling back the freedoms of its citizens create perfect conditions for the rise of dangerous autocrats.” – Bitch Magazine, 2020 Nonfiction Preview
“Impeccably researched…This comprehensive, page-turning account presents a stark and uncompromising indictment of the Trump presidency as the culmination of a ‘decades-long erosion of American stability, integrity, and democracy.” – Publishers Weekly
“A scathing indictment of Donald Trump…Kendzior offers fresh views based on her experiences living in the declining economy of the Midwest and on observations as an academic researcher studying dictatorships in the former Soviet Union….. A passionate call for immediate action against the ‘transnational crime syndicate’ that has supplanted the U.S. government.” – Kirkus
“Sarah Kendzior’s Hiding in Plain Sight should be required reading prior to the 2020 election. It shows the decline of American politics into the corruption that inhabits the Oval Office today…. By giving us a clear eyed view of what we’re up against, Sarah Kendzior has given us cause to continue the fight.” – PrimmLife
