This Will Not Pass

This book provides a deeply reported account of an eighteen-month crisis in American democracy, covering the 2020 election, the coronavirus pandemic, the January 6 attack on the Capitol, and the political brinksmanship of President Biden’s first year in the White House.

It exposes the internal divisions within both parties and the strain on the two-party system, raising vital questions about the sustainability of American democracy.

The authors draw on hundreds of interviews and never-before-seen documents and recordings from the highest levels of government to deliver a masterful and disturbing narrative of a critical period in American politics.
