THE REACTIONARY SPIRIT How America's Most Insidious Political Tradition Swept the World

This audiobook examines our national discourse, particularly during the Trump era. Although written prior to his reelection, its relevance has only increased as it presents contrasting arguments about democracy and potential threats to it. Justin Price narrates effectively, in a style that complements the intensity of the arguments, particularly those warning of a shift toward autocracy. Price's nuanced delivery enhances the listener's understanding of the stakes involved. Despite Zack Beauchamp's thorough documentation and careful analysis, it is possible that this book will not reach its intended audience since those who disagree with his perspectives may choose not to engage. The audiobook's significance lies in its ability to spark meaningful dialogue--even in a polarized political landscape. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2024]
