AFTER THE FALL - BEN RHODES GEBUNDEN

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 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
(New York Journal of Books)  from the former White House aide  close confidant to President
Barack Obama  and author of The World as It Is At a time when democracy in the United States is
endangered as never before  Ben Rhodes spent years traveling the world to understand why. He
visited dozens of countries  meeting with politicians and activists confronting the same
nationalism and authoritarianism that are tearing America apart. Along the way  he discusses
the growing authoritarianism of Vladimir Putin  and his aggression towards Ukraine  with the
foremost opposition leader in Russia  who was subsequently poisoned and imprisoned  he profiled
Hong Kong protesters who saw their movement snuffed out by China under Xi Jinping  and America
itself reached the precipice of losing democracy before giving itself a fragile second chance.
The characters and issues that Rhodes illuminates paint a picture that shows us where we are
today from Barack Obama to a rising generation of international leaders  from the authoritarian
playbook endangering democracy to the flood of disinformation enabling authoritarianism.
Ultimately  Rhodes writes personally and powerfully about finding hope in the belief that
looking squarely at where America has gone wrong can make clear how essential it is to fight
for what America is supposed to be  for our own country and the entire world.
