"A gripping ground-level narrative...a marvel of reporting: tightly wound... but also panoramic."--Washington Post
"A lean, fast-paced and important account of the chaotic final weeks."--New York Times
In The Steal, veteran journalists Mark Bowden and Matthew Teague offer a week-by-week, state-by-state account of the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
In the sixty-four days between November 3 and January 6, PresidentDonald Trump and his allies fought to reverse
the outcome of the vote. Focusing on six states--Arizona,
Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin--Trump's supporters claimed widespread voter
fraud.Caught up in this effort were scores of activists, lawyers, judges,
and state and local officials. Working with a
team of researchers and reporters, Bowden and Teague uncover never-before-told accounts from the election
officials fighting to do their jobs amid
outlandish claims and threats to themselves, their colleagues, and their families. The Steal is an engaging, in-depth report on what happened during those crucial nine weeks and a portrait of
the dedicated individuals who did their duty
and stood firm against the unprecedented, sustained
attack on our election system and ensured that every legal vote was counted and that the will of the people prevailed.
