Unthinkable : trauma, truth, and the trials of American democracy Cover Image Book

Unthinkable : trauma, truth, and the trials of American democracy / Jamie Raskin.

Raskin, Jamin B., (author.).

Summary:

Congressman Jamie Raskin tells the story of the forty-five days at the start of 2021 that permanently changed his life--and his family's--as he confronted the painful loss of his son to suicide, lived through the violent insurrection in our nation's Capitol, and led the impeachment effort to hold President Trump accountable for inciting the political violence. A moving story of a father coping with his pain and a revealing examination of holding President Trump accountable for the violence he fomented.
