Romney

A Reckoning
Book • 2024
This biography by McKay Coppins provides a detailed and intimate portrait of Mitt Romney, drawing from dozens of interviews with Romney, his family, and his inner circle, as well as hundreds of pages of his personal journals and private emails.

The book explores Romney's early life, his rise through the ranks of the Republican Party, and his moral struggles amidst the party's transformation.

It highlights how small compromises by political leaders have led to a crisis in democracy and portrays Romney as a complex politician who summoned his moral courage during a time of great polarization and divisiveness in American politics.
