AFTER THE FALL - BEN RHODES KARTONIERT (TB)

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.
