Regime Change by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan

Some books you read for escape. This one you read to understand the world right outside your window.

From Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman—two reporters who have covered Donald Trump more closely than perhaps anyone else over the past decade—comes a riveting, intimate, and revelatory account of the most radical and consequential presidency of our time.

Regime Change takes you inside the first year of Trump’s second term: a presidency liberated from the constraints that defined his first. The generals who once told him no are gone. The lawyers who remain have learned to pick their battles. What’s left is an imperial President operating almost entirely on instinct.

Drawing on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from the administration’s most closely guarded rooms, Haberman and Swan bring you into the Situation Room and the secret Oval Office deliberations that have remade global trade, launched military operations, and turned the office itself into something the country has never quite seen before.

This is the story of how power was used, who tried to stop it, and why nearly all of them failed. A landmark, real-time history written with the precision and authority only these two could deliver.

It’s a hefty hardcover—the kind that asks you to settle in. Pour the tea. Let the rest of the world wait a while.

Stop by and pick up a copy, or have us set one aside for you. We’d love to talk about it once you’ve turned the last page.

A timely, essential read for anyone trying to make sense of this American moment.
