Rebellion
'The transformation of the US into an autocracy has advanced...Nobody has outlined this danger more compellingly than Robert Kagan.' - Martin Wolf, Financial TimesA chilling and clear-eyed warning about the threats to our democracy posed by the increasing radicalization of the Republican Party, from a leading historian and intellectualThe 2024 election could be the last free election held in a unified America. So warns Robert Kagan in this brilliant and terrifying analysis of the perilous state of democracy in the United States today. If Donald Trump loses the upcoming election, as he did in 2020, but refuses to accept the result, as he also did in the last election, he is likely to call on his millions of followers to repudiate the election results. It will be a short step from there to Republican-dominated states rejecting the legitimacy of the federal government and effectively seceding. The United States at that point will cease to be united, with grave consequences for both Americans and the world.In Rebellion, Kagan dives deeper than the op-eds and think pieces to explore the historical forces that have brought us to this moment-in particular the long history of opposition to liberalism, and to government, that has shaped America's character from the time of the Revolution to today. Trump's unique capacity to tap into that tradition of dissent and circumvent the American system has brought us to the edge of dissolution-not for the first time in our history but possibly the last. This is an elegant and deeply informed synthesis of history, contemporary politics, and ideas that sheds light on this crucial moment.

Until We Meet Again
"Mimi, it's me. Nick," he whispered, his Nazi uniform a mockery of the boy who once promised to protect her. She stared through her tears at eyes she'd never forgotten--now belonging to the enemy. When the Nazis invade Paris, the peaceful world Mimi shares with her beloved grandmother Chloe--is shattered forever. In a single, brutal day, police tear through their neighborhood, ripping Jewish families from their homes and destroying lives built over generations. As grandmother and granddaughter face the unthinkable horrors of Nazi-occupied France, an unexpected figure from Mimi's past emerges--someone who could be salvation or destruction. Nick, the childhood friend who once held her heart, now bears the swastika armband. But beneath the Reich insignia lies a man haunted by his choices, desperate to find redemption in the darkness. From a converted department store turned prison where Mimi is forced to sort stolen treasures to the camps where innocents face unspeakable evil, love becomes the most dangerous--and powerful--force of all. Based on true events during the Nazi occupation of Paris, this is a devastating story of impossible choices, unexpected courage, and bonds that transcend even war itself from USA Today bestselling author Roberta Kagan.

Rebellion
Could the 2024 election have been the last free election held in a unified America? • "A dire warning of the right’s drift towards authoritarianism.” —Financial Times Published in the run-up to Donald Trump’s victory, Rebellion sounded a chilling and clear-eyed warning about the threats posed to American democracy by the increasingly radicalized Republican Party. With the Trump administration in place, and attempting a systematic dismantling of the traditionally liberal principles on which America was founded, Robert Kagan’s lessons and insights have become only more urgent.Kagan dives deeper than the op-eds and think pieces to explore the historical forces that brought us to a second Trump term—in particular the long history of opposition to liberalism, and to government, that has shaped America’s character from the time of the Revolution to today. Trump’s unique capacity to tap into that tradition of dissent and circumvent the American system has brought us to the edge of dissolution—not for the first time in our history but possibly the last.Rebellion is an elegant and deeply informed synthesis of history, contemporary politics, and ideas that sheds light on this crucial moment.
