American Fury: Inside the Rise and Rule of Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement

With the in-depth reportage and insightful analysis of American Carnage, Front Row at the Trump Show, and Confidence Man, a seasoned Time reporter’s authoritative narrative history of the MAGA movement—a freshly reported “how did we get here” chronicle that traces the political DNA and complete, decade-long evolution that has irrevocably transformed the Republican Party, conservatism, politics, and society itself.

Drawing from exclusive interviews with key figures in Trump world, including Donald Trump himself, American Fury is the first book to comprehensively document the former President’s spawning of a political and social movement that has turned modern America upside down.

American Fury goes behind closed doors and through the maze of the MAGA ecosystem: from Steve Bannon’s cluttered basement recording studio to Charlie Kirk’s behemoth organization to rear the next generation of Trump-inspired diehards; from the think tanks working to implement Trumpism into policy to the legion of traveling MAGA evangelists like Donald Trump Jr. and young America First pols like J.D. Vance and Anna Paulina Luna; from Trump’s own operation to build and sustain a constellation of allied networks that keep his movement a dominant force in national politics to the mega-wealthy contributors—among them tech edgelords and media moguls—and young influencers who use their money, power, and platforms to support him.
