Publisher's Summary
From an award-winning historian and regular Fox contributor, the true story of how Donald Trump has become one of the most successful presidents in history—and why America needs him now more than ever.
In The Case for Trump, award-winning historian and political commentator Victor Davis Hanson explains how a celebrity businessman with no political or military experience triumphed over 16 well-qualified Republican rivals, a Democrat with a quarter-billion-dollar war chest, and a hostile media and Washington establishment to become president of the US—and an extremely successful president.
Trump alone saw a political opportunity in defending the working people of America's interior whom the coastal elite of both parties had come to scorn, Hanson argues. And Trump alone had the instincts and energy to pursue this opening to victory, dismantle a corrupt old order, and bring long-overdue policy changes at home and abroad. We could not survive a series of presidencies as volatile as Trump's. But after decades of drift, America needs the outsider Trump to do what normal politicians would not and could not do.

Story
Human history is full of the stories of peasants, subjects, and tribes. Yet the concept of the “citizen” is historically rare — and was among America’s most valued ideals for over two centuries. But without shock treatment, warns historian Victor Davis Hanson, American citizenship as we have known it may soon vanish.

Story
The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth rates, mass immigration, and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive alteration as a society and an eventual end.

Story
The Second World Wars examines how combat unfolded in the air, at sea, and on land to show how distinct conflicts among disparate combatants coalesced into one interconnected global war. Drawing on 3,000 years of military history, Victor Davis Hanson argues that despite its novel industrial barbarity, neither the war's origins nor its geography were unusual. Nor was its ultimate outcome surprising. The Axis powers were well prepared to win limited border conflicts, but once they blundered into global war, they had no hope of victory.

The Truth!
Mr Hanson did an excellent job in this book... we live in a time where there is so much lying by the media and the govts, it's hard to know whats true and whats false. If you have been conned like millions of others, but really want to know what was going on in the Trump Presidency, this will tell you exactly how you were conned. If you're honest and really want to know the truth, this is the book for you. History will be corrected no matter the lies that have been told for 8 years. Highly recommended!

The definitive account of Trumps first three years in office
Love him or hate him, there is no denying that Hanson executes an erudite, informed and sober analysis of an oft-controversial president, in a manner that no one else can.
I urge Trump supporters and opponents alike to read this book with an open mind and to formulate their own conclusions.

Outstanding & Truthful
An excellent summation of not only Trumps first 3 years but an overview of the hate from the Dems, MSM and Hollywood elites.
