The View from Flyover Country is a collection of essays that critically examine issues such as income inequality, race relations, and media bias in America's heartland. Originally published in 2015 as an ebook, it was later updated to reflect the changes under the Trump administration. Kendzior's work is praised for its urgency and clarity in addressing the systemic problems that led to Trump's presidency.
Red Mafiya explores the rise of the Russian mob as a global criminal superpower, detailing their ruthless tactics and extensive reach into the United States and beyond. The book highlights their involvement in various illegal activities and their strategic alliances with other criminal organizations.
Hiding in Plain Sight by Sarah Kendzior provides a comprehensive analysis of Donald Trump's calculated rise to power since the 1980s, linking it to the broader decline of American democracy and the influence of foreign powers. The book explores how Trump's ascension was facilitated by decades of institutional decay and corruption, highlighting the fragility of American democracy.
Bestselling author and Gaslit Nation co-host Sarah Kendzior talks with Recode's Kara Swisher about her new book, Hiding in Plain Sight: The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America; what pundits get wrong about propaganda and election interference; and the “insane way” journalists treat Donald Trump’s Twitter bully pulpit. In the new book and her previous one, The View From Flyover Country, Kendzior argues that Trump's rise to the presidency was no accident — rather, it was the result of decades of socioeconomic trends, including income inequality, "disaster capitalism," and the growth of the internet. She also talks about why Trump's base isn't as big as you think it is, and whether there's reason for hope and optimism right now.
