Book Review: History has begun to judge Trump's Presidential reign

Then-President Donald Trump gestures as he arrives to speak at a rally in Washington.

After thousands of articles and scores of books about Donald Trump’s mostly catastrophic presidency , it’s difficult for anyone to break dramatic new ground. But this new volume, with contributions from 18 American academics, is broader and deeper than all its predecessors, with essays covering everything from Militant Whiteness to the legacy of Trump’s Middle East policies, under the title Arms, Autocrats and Annexations.

The result is a great deal of information that is familiar to those who have already plowed through dozens of volumes, enlivened by a few new facts and a number of original insights.
