With fresh, inventive, and sound ideas--what he calls a "blueprint" for reform in the early post-Trump months--Allan Lichtman, one of the most widely knowledgeable historians of the American past, provides a set of robust proposals for essential changes in American government to prevent the further erosion of federal institutions, practices, and norms. It should be read widely in Congress and by everyone concerned with the perilous state of American government and politics., [E]nlightening are Lichtman's discussions of the ways in which previous presidents laid the groundwork for Trump's more flagrant violations of democratic norms., Lichtman's book reads like an exercise in Trump detox. In 13 concise chapters, he offers to patch the cracks he identifies with various forms of--well, pick whatever metaphor might fit--caulking, dry wall, bricks and mortar, or something stronger still. The fact that he advertises his remedies as "simple, quick, and practical" would appear to suggest caulking.... The list of fixes is long--there are so many cracks to be filled, from barring nepotism to protecting inspectors general. But it eventually dawns on any attentive reader of this catalogue of Trumpian malfeasance that the trail of misdeeds did not begin with him and that cracks have characterized the history of the republic from the very beginning., In his sobering and deeply researched new book... renowned historian Professor Allan J. Lichtman recounts how Trump exploited the most vulnerable weaknesses of our democracy. As he details Trump's many abuses, he also provides detailed historical context on challenges to democracy from other American leaders. Professor Lichtman shares his profound concern for the fate of our democracy., The question of whether our constitutional democracy will survive the next decade has become the most urgent problem of American politics. In his newest book, Allan Lichtman offers an acute diagnosis of thirteen of the most troubling ailments vexing our political system and prescribes an ingenious remedy for each. Writing with an almost Madisonian concision, Lichtman makes an essential contribution to the growing literature on the danger of democratic decline.--Jack Rakove, Pulitzer Prize-winning Author of Original Meanings; William Robertson Coe Professor of History and American Studies, Emeritus, Stanford University With fresh, inventive, and sound ideas--what he calls a "blueprint" for reform in the early post-Trump months--Allan Lichtman, one of the most widely knowledgeable historians of the American past, provides a set of robust proposals for essential changes in American government to prevent the further erosion of federal institutions, practices, and norms. It should be read widely in Congress and by everyone concerned with the perilous state of American government and politics.--James M. Banner, Jr., editor of Presidential Misconduct: From George Washington to Today, The question of whether our constitutional democracy will survive the next decade has become the most urgent problem of American politics.

Synopsis
America's founders feared a president like Donald Trump. Through the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, they erected a fortified but constrained government to secure the benchmarks of our democracy and established the guardrails designed to protect it. But Trump pushed almost every one of the Framers' safeguards to its limit-most held, but some broke under the weight of presidential abuses even the Framers did not foresee. Thirteen Cracks will be the first book to expose the most vulnerable areas in our democracy, explain in historical context how President Trump uniquely and outrageously exploited these weak spots, and propose a fix for each challenge. Historian Allen J. Lichtman argues that Trump has put us at a pivot point in our history, where the survival of American democracy is at stake. But this is also an historic opportunity to shore up the vulnerabilities and to strengthen our democracy., Thirteen Cracks examines the most vulnerable areas in American democracy in the wake of Donald Trump's presidency. Best-selling author Allen J. Lichtman explains in historical context how President Trump uniquely and outrageously exploited these weak spots and proposes a fix for each challenge., For a clear-eyed look at the state of US democracy, read the book by Allan Lichtman that Foreword says "takes a welcome nonpartisan, straightforward approach" America's founders feared a president like Donald Trump.
