Romney_ A Reckoning by McKay Coppins

A compelling biography of one of America’s intriguing political figures, Mitt Romney, unfolds in this New York Times bestseller. Authored with Romney’s full cooperation by an award-winning writer at The Atlantic, McKay Coppins, the book sheds light on the dissension within today’s Republican Party, featuring revelations from Romney himself. Known for his outspoken dissent within Donald Trump’s GOP, Romney, the first senator to vote against a president of his own party, has faced headline-making moments, including a powerful Senate speech denouncing his fellow Republicans after the storming of the US Capitol. Despite his public courage, Romney has remained reticent about his behind-the-scenes experiences over his three decades in politics. Based on extensive interviews with Romney, his family, and inner circle, along with access to personal journals and private emails, this biography offers a revealing portrait of a public servant grappling authentically with the choices made throughout his career. It traces Romney’s early life, his ascent in a rapidly transforming Republican Party, and exposes how seemingly minor compromises by political leaders have contributed to a democracy in crisis. Ultimately, “Romney: A Reckoning” is a redemptive narrative, portraying a flawed politician who summons moral courage amid the growing fear and divisiveness in American life.
