D. D. Guttenplan Reihenfolge der Bücher

What will the post-Trump return to democracy in America look like, and what are its historical antecedents? National political correspondent and award-winning author D. D. Guttenplan’s The Next Republic is an extraordinarily intense and wide-ranging exploration of how democracy rises and falls in America. The Next Republic introduces us to some of the organizers and politicians who are helping to bring about change in America, like new labor activist JANE McALEVEY; racial justice campaigner (and mayor of Jackson, Mississippi) CHOKWE ANTAR LUMUMBA; environmental activist (and chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party) JANE KLEEB; Chicago’s first openly gay Latino public official, CARLOS RAMIREZ-ROSA; Justice Democrats communications director WALEED SHAHID; communications director for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s 2020 campaign CORBIN TRENT; and anti-corruption crusader ZEPHYR TEACHOUT. Guttenplan juxtaposes this new social movement with chapters on key transitions in our nation’s history: the Whiskey Rebellion, the Lincoln Republic, and the Roosevelt Republic. Altogether, Guttenplan deeply fathoms the great American problem that is our democracy, and the prospects for its resurgence. Both unyielding and resoundingly hopeful, The New Republic foresees the post-Trump era as one that may not only restore American values, but also see a radical new transformation of them to match the new challenges we face as a nation.

The book explores the resurgence of radical questions surrounding war, the economy, health care, and dissent, highlighting the relevance of Stone's insights in today's context. Guttenplan presents a lively and thought-provoking analysis, illustrating how Stone's views resonate powerfully in the current socio-political landscape, making them feel prophetic.

The courtroom drama centers on the high-profile libel case between David Irving, a controversial military historian who denies the Holocaust, and Deborah Lipstadt, a historian who exposed his dangerous rhetoric. As Lipstadt fights to prove the truth of her claims against Irving's denial, the trial becomes a pivotal moment for understanding historical accountability and the implications of Holocaust denial. The narrative explores themes of truth, memory, and the power of historical narrative in shaping public perception.
