From the congressman who led Donald J. Trump's first impeachment comes a vital inside account of American democracy in its darkest hour, highlighting the enduring threat of autocracy. In the lead-up to Trump's election, Congressman Adam Schiff warned of the global resurgence of autocracy and its implications for the U.S. As he investigated Trump's abuses of power related to Russia and Ukraine, Schiff realized that the greatest threat to American democracy was internal. He argues that Trump's presidency has severely weakened institutions and compromised the Republican Party, necessitating ongoing vigilance against authoritarianism. Schiff chronicles the steps that led to this crisis, detailing his evolution from prosecutor to congressman known for national security expertise and bipartisanship, ultimately becoming a liberal lightning rod and adversary of the president. He provides an inside look at his team of impeachment managers and their efforts to defend the Constitution against a uniquely American form of autocracy. Through personal anecdotes, Schiff reveals the internal conflicts and courage required to uphold democratic values while witnessing the moral decline of those he once respected. His fight for democracy is a compelling narrative that extends beyond Trump, encompassing the events of January 6, 2021, and the ongoing anti-democratic forces reshaping the Republican Party, leaving the future of American democracy i
