Review:
It is good to hear a Republican condemn Trump (as Cheney did). This book, however, feels like a story of how Trump betrayed his party as much as how Trump betrayed the United States. Since I feel like the GOP made Trump (yes, Trump took over the party, but it was sliding his direction since Mitch McConnell decided to make the Republicans the Stop Obama party and worked to make him a one-term President. Some might point back to Gingrich, but I think the "win at all costs" mentality may have been formulated by Gingrich, but it became a party mindset under McConnell and has culminated in Trump. So, Karl does his best to point Trump as a non-Republican and as a loser (I agree that in many ways he is both), while not accepting that the Republican party has fully embraced Trump and it is hard to see where that will end.
