"A gripping ground-level narrative...a marvel of reporting: tightly
wound... but also panoramic."--Washington Post
"A lean, fast-paced and important account of the chaotic final
weeks."--New York Times
InThe Steal, veteran journalists Mark Bowden and Matthew Teague
offer a week-by-week, state-by-state account of the effort to overturn
the 2020 presidential election.
In the sixty-four days between November 3 and January 6, President
Donald Trump and his allies fought to reverse the outcome of the vote.
Focusing on six states--Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada,
Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin--Trump's supporters claimed widespread voter
fraud.
Caught up in this effort were scores of activists, lawyers, judges, and
state and local officials. Working with a team of researchers and
reporters, Bowden and Teague uncover never-before-told accounts from the
election officials fighting to do their jobs amid outlandish claims and
threats to themselves, their colleagues, and their families. The Steal
is an engaging, in-depth report on what happened during those crucial
nine weeks and a portrait of the dedicated individuals who did their
duty and stood firm against the unprecedented, sustained attack on our
election system and ensured that every legal vote was counted and that
the will of the people prevailed.
