Reviews"Although he failed to secure the conviction of Donald Trump in the first impeachment trial, Adam Schiff has now vanquished him forever in these pages. This book will stand as the touchstone of truth against any attempts to distort or rewrite this crucial piece of history. Congressman Schiff has restored our faith in the nobility of public service and has shown what one dedicated patriot--courageous, intelligent, and fearless--can still accomplish even in a divided country." --Ron Chernow, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Washington: A Life and Alexander Hamilton "When American democracy faced a near-death experience, Adam Schiff served as an able guardian, protecting our nation from enemies foreign and domestic. Schiff not only provides riveting details in this compelling account, he delivers a much-needed warning about the threats facing America from within and an urgent how-to guide for preserving our nation." --Stacey Abrams, founder of Fair Fight Action, "Although he failed to secure the conviction of Donald Trump in the first impeachment trial, Adam Schiff has now vanquished him forever in these pages.

We should be grateful that we can read it now." --Timothy Snyder, #1 New York Times bestselling author of On Tyranny

Synopsis#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The "fascinating" (Rachel Maddow) inside account of American democracy in its darkest hour, from the rise of autocracy unleashed by Trump to the January 6 insurrection, and a warning that those forces remain as potent as ever--from the congressman who led the first impeachment of Donald J. Trump LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE WINNER: "Brilliant, sobering, and unforgettable."--from the Current Interest Judges' citation In the years leading up to the election of Donald Trump, Congressman Adam Schiff had already been sounding the alarm over the resurgence of autocracy around the world, and the threat this posed to the United States. But as he led the probe into Donald Trump's Russia and Ukraine-related abuses of presidential power, Schiff came to the terrible conclusion that the principal threat to American democracy now came from within. In Midnight in Washington , Schiff argues that the Trump presidency has so weakened our institutions and compromised the Republican Party that the peril will last for years, requiring unprecedented vigilance against the growing and dangerous appeal of authoritarianism. The congressman chronicles step-by-step just how our democracy was put at such risk, and traces his own path to meeting the crisis--from serious prosecutor, to congressman with an expertise in national security and a reputation for bipartisanship, to liberal lightning rod, scourge of the right, and archenemy of a president. Schiff takes us inside his team of impeachment managers and their desperate defense of the Constitution amid the rise of a distinctly American brand of autocracy. Deepening our understanding of prominent public moments, Schiff reveals the private struggles, the internal conflicts, and the triumphs of courage that came with defending the republic against a lawless president--but also the slow surrender of people that he had worked with and admired to the dangerous immorality of a president engaged in an historic betrayal of his office. Schiff's fight for democracy is one of the great dramas of our time, told by the man who became the president's principal antagonist. It is a story that began with Trump but does not end with him, taking us through the disastrous culmination of the presidency and Schiff's account of January 6, 2021, and how the antidemocratic forces Trump unleashed continue to define his party, making the future of democracy in America more uncertain than ever., #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The vital inside account of American democracy in its darkest hour, from the rise of autocracy unleashed by Trump to the January 6 insurrection, and a warning that those forces remain as potent as ever--from the congressman who led the first impeachment of Donald J. Trump "Engaging and informative . . . a manual for how to probe and question power, how to hold leaders accountable in a time of diminishing responsibility."-- The Washington Post In the years leading up to the election of Donald Trump, Congressman Adam Schiff had already been sounding the alarm over the resurgence of autocracy around the world, and the threat this posed to the United States.

Outstanding in understanding the fragility of democracy.
This book clarifies for those of us that are not in Congress how and when Trump was able to breach norms, lie and manipulate laws and people in order to try and be an autocrat and his attempts to destroy democracy. The book is a strong reminder of how fragile democracy truly is and how very dangerous and deranged Trump is. I highly recommend this book. It is well written.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

All about Jan. 6, 2021 in Washington, D.C. and its beginnings;
The contents are fascinating and should be read by every open-minded American. What I don't like is that the book's binding has come loose and has a terrible tear. No mention of this was in the description of the book's condition other than it might show some wear. Having dealt with hard cover books for over 50 years, I know this copy could have been easily repaired with librarian's book tape.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
