-Titulo Original : The Storm Is Here An American Crucible
-Fabricante :
Penguin Press
-Descripcion Original:
The New Yorkers award-winning war correspondent returns to his own country to chronicle its accelerating civic breakdown, in an indelible eyewitness narrative of startling explanatory power After years of living abroad and covering the Global War on Terrorism, Luke Mogelson went home in early 2020 to report on the social discord that the pandemic was bringing to the fore across the US. An assignment that began with right-wing militias in Michigan soon took him to an uprising for racial justice in Minneapolis, then to antifascist clashes in the streets of Portland, and ultimately to an attempted insurrection in Washington, D.C. His dispatches for The New Yorker revealed a larger story with ominous implications for America. They were only the beginning. This is the definitive eyewitness account of how-during a season of sickness, economic uncertainty, and violence-a large segment of Americans became convinced of the need to battle against dark forces plotting to take their country away from them. It builds month by month, through vivid depictions of events on the ground, from the onset of COVID-19 to the attack on the US Capitol-during which Mogelson followed the mob into the Senate chamber-and its aftermath. Bravely reported and beautifully written, The Storm Is Here is both a unique record of a pivotal moment in American history and an urgent warning about those to come. Review “[An] important book . . . Mogelson points to a bracing existential truth: ‘One emotional feature of contemporary conflict,’ he muses, ‘is the ever-present, low-frequency dread of random catastrophe.’ He relates ‘the missile tearing through the roof’ in war to a rampage through the nation’s Capitol in peacetime: ‘When no place is immune from haphazard demolition, more abstract structures-the invisible schema that holds societies together-also become precarious . . . . I don’t think of this as a psychological phenomenon; I think that war reminds us how things are not as sound and solid as we believe.’ This is the book’s wake-up call.” -The New York Times “Indispensable . . . The great New Yorker battlefield reporter immerses himself with American militias you’ve only heard about, providing a firsthand account of those countrymen who are increasingly turning on their government. It reads like a first draft of the breakdown of American democracy.” -Chicago Tribune “A contributing writer at The New Yorker offers a masterclass in investigative journalism.” -Oprah Daily “Mogelson’s man-on-the-ground, mostly primary-source journalism, with stacks of sources and reference books to inform historical context, provides a clear-eyed and chilling view. It’s the kind of book people will correctly label ‘important’ for a long time, a must-read.” -A.V. Club “Mogelson’s fine reporting is multifaceted . . . including a dazzling account of the January 6 riot from inside the Capitol itself . . . An unflinching, minutely observed, and wholly unsettling portrait of today’s America, begging the question: Can the center hold?” -Booklist (starred review) “A crucial account . . . Mogelson recounts the chaos in consistently striking, memorable detail. Essential for understanding the right-wing rage that boils across America.” -Kirkus (starred review) “An account of great consequence by one of the best reporters in the world. It is no coincidence that Luke Mogelson happened to be in the crowd outside the Capitol on January 6, 2021. He had been tracking this movement for months. And it is no surprise to read how he joined the surge because in that moment and in countless others, all over the globe, Mogelson has been a model of courage, daring, and attentiveness. He is the indispensable witness of our times, and he brings deep insight to this essential document.” -Ted Conover “A sterling example of why Luke Mogelson is one of the most indispensable journalists working today. Meticulous, unsparing, and as brilliant as it is unsettling, this book is a
