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.
