"Gabriel Gatehouse is a brilliant spelunker of the rabbit holes of American political culture.
A spellbinding storyteller and reader of the runes of the strange times we live in." - Louis
TherouxIs this how democracy dies?The Coming Storm is Gabriel Gatehouse's brilliant exploration
of how conspiracy theories are tearing America apart. It's a story that takes you down a rabbit
hole - one that both the US as a nation and he as a journalist fell through - to unpack an
epochal shift in political culture that starts in the earliest years of the Clinton
administration and reached a crescendo on 6 January 2021 with the storming of the US Capitol.
But that event wasn't the wild finale of a chaotic Trump presidency many hoped for - it was
only the beginning. A compelling mix of research and reportage The Coming Storm gets under the
skin of these conspiracy theories to show us a radical new kind of politics emerging a
movement that has coalesced around a loose alliance of tech bros internet trolls and white
supremacists. At a perilous moment in the history of American democracy Gatehouse tells us
some dark truths about our present and provides clues about our future. The Coming Storm marks
the debut of a major new voice in political journalism.
