Why is democracy so threatened in America and around the world? Ben Rhodes, bestselling author of The World As It Is, speechwriter to Obama and co-host of Pod Save the World, investigates the extent to which America sowed the seeds of discord we see across the world today – and what can be done about it.
Ben Rhodes is the author of the New York Times bestseller The World as It Is; co-host of Pod Save the World; a contributor for NBC News and MSNBC; the co-chair of National Security Action; and an advisor to former president Barack Obama. He lives in Washington, DC.
A dystopian odyssey through the dark authoritarian landscape of the
modern world
*The Times*
After the Fall takes the form of a quest . . . Rhodes’s travels,
and his contemplation of the scene at home, lead him to an
important conclusion: The United States, having exported to the
world unleashed capitalism, ungoverned social media and a
militarized foreign policy, has now seen its pathologies weaponized
by its enemies and turned back upon itself
*New York Times*
Vital reading for Americans and people anywhere who seek to
understand what is happening 'after the fall' of the global system
created by the United States and shaped increasingly by China under
Xi Jinping
*New York Journal of Books*
The story of an aftermath . . . Elegantly expressed
*Guardian*
