About this item
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! In this illuminating and "scoop-rich biography ... the tell-all tales rush forth" (Los Angeles Times) offering a "penetrating analysis of the ongoing Republican civil war through the eyes of one of its last embattled centrists" (Publishers Weekly) . Few figures in American politics have seen more and said less than Mitt Romney. An outspoken dissident in Donald Trump's GOP, he has made headlines in recent years for standing alone against the forces he believes are poisoning the party he once led. Romney was the first senator in history to vote to remove from office a president of his own party. When that president's supporters went on to storm the US Capitol, Romney delivered a thundering speech from the Senate floor accusing his fellow Republicans of stoking insurrection.
