THIRTEEN CRACKS - ALLAN J LICHTMAN GEBUNDEN

America's founders feared a president like Donald Trump. Through the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights  they erected a fortified but constrained government to secure the benchmarks of our
democracy and established the guardrails designed to protect it. But Trump pushed almost every
one of the Framers' safeguards to its limit?most held  but some broke under the weight of
presidential abuses even the Framers did not foresee. Thirteen Cracks will be the first book to
expose the most vulnerable areas in our democracy  explain in historical context how President
Trump uniquely and outrageously exploited these weak spots  and propose a fix for each
challenge. Historian Allen J. Lichtman argues that Trump has put us at a pivot point in our
history  where the survival of American democracy is at stake. But this is also an historic
opportunity to shore up the vulnerabilities and to strengthen our democracy.
