Book description
"Salena Zito is the journalist who knows Trump-and his voters-better than anyone." - The Free Press From the acclaimed journalist standing only a few feet away from the stage when the gunshots began is this gripping first-hand account of the near assassination of Donald Trump - and the inside story of Trump's heartland-fueled victory. Had the wind gusted less, had the former president's head turned in a slightly different direction, or had the adrenaline-fueled heart of the shooter beat slower, America would have been plunged into chaos, possibly even civil war. As a Pennsylvania native who happened to be four feet from the presidential podium when the shots were fired, Salena Zito has written the definitive book on this assault on American democracy. "I rarely look away from the crowd," Trump told her in one of those exclusive interviews. "Had I not done that in that moment, well, we would not be talking today, would we?" As a local reporter with deep ties to the area, Salena was granted access to community members, rally participants, family members and local law enforcement officials. For the reporting of this book, President Trump granted the author exclusive access, along with his top aides and even his security detail. Zito explores the unanswered questions surrounding this attack: Who was this shooter? What were his motives? Why was it so easy for him to get so shockingly close to murdering an American president? Why did law enforcement respond so lethargically when the shooter was pointed out beforehand by bystanders in the crowd? How will the Secret Service be held accountable for a situation not seen since the attack on Reagan in 1981? What dangers lie in wait for Trump in the months and years ahead? There are moments that define America. The late afternoon hours of July 13, 2024 was one of them. This book is a narrative of that fateful day, the people involved, the untold story of how the president found his way back into the heart of the electorate, why he goes to places like Butler in the first place, and the coming reckoning in our institutions as a result of what happened that day.
