Title: Liar's Circus: A Strange and Terrifying Journey into the Upside-Down World of Trumps MAGA Rallies

Author: Carl Hoffman

Narrator: Charles Constant

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5:03:36

Language: English

Release date: 09-01-20

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: History, Non-Fiction, Politics, North America, Social Science, Political Ideologies

Summary:

''A brilliant, riveting, funny, terrifying journey into the beating heart of Trumpland.'' Liza Mundy, author of Code Girls

In this daring work of immersive journalism, based on hundreds of hours of reporting, Carl Hoffman journeys deep inside Donald Trumps rallies, seeking to understand the strange and powerful tribe that forms the presidents base. 

Hoffman, who has written about the most dangerous and remote corners of the world, pierced this alternate society, welcomed in and initiated into its rites and upside-down beliefs, and finally ushered to its inner sanctum. Equally freewheeling and profound, Liars Circus tracks the MAGA faithful across five thousand miles of the American heartland during a crucial arc of the Trump presidency stretching from the impeachment saga to the dawn of the coronavirus pandemic that ended the rallies as we know it.

Trumps rallies are a singular and defining force in American historya kind of Rosetta stone to understanding the Age of Trump. Yet while much remarked upon, they are, in fact, little examined, with the focus almost always on Trumps latest outrageous statement. But who are the tens of thousands of people who fill these arenas? What do they see in Trump? And what curious alchemybetween president and adoring crowdhappens there that might explain Trumps rise and powerful hold over both his base and the GOP?

To those on the left, the rallies are a Black Mass of American politics at which Trump plays high priest, recklessly summoning the darkest forces within the nation. To the MAGA faithful, the rallies are a form of pilgrimage, a joyous ceremony that like all rituals binds people together and makes them feel a part of something bigger than themselves. Both sides would acknowledge that this traveling roadshow is the pressurized, combustible core of Trumps political power, a meeting of the faithful where Trump is unshackled and his rhetoric reaches its most extreme, with downstream consequences for the rest of the nation.

To date, no reporter has sought to understand the rallies as a sociological phenomenon examined from the bottom up. Hoffman has done just this. He has stood in line for more than 170 hours with Trump's most ardent superfans and joined them at the very front row; he has traveled from Minnesota to Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Hampshire immersing himself in their culture. 

Liars Circus is a revelatory portrait of Trumps America, from one of our most intrepid journalists.

Summary:

In celebration of the 75th anniversary, a riveting first-hand account of the Battle of Okinawathe Pacific Wars ''bloodiest battle of all'' (New York Times)from the first officer ashore, who served at the front for the battles entire 82-day duration, heroism that earned him a Bronze Star.

On Easter Sunday, April 1, 1945, 1,500 Allied ships and 1.5 million men gathered off the coast of the Japanese island of Okinawa and launched the largest amphibious assault of the Pacific War. They expected an 80% casualty rate. The first American officer ashore was Major Art Shaw, a unit commander in the U.S. Armys 361 Artillery Battalion of the 96th Division, often called the Deadeyes. For the next three months, Major Shaw and his men served at the front lines of the Pacifics bloodiest battle, their artillery proving decisive against a ''phantom enemy'' who had entrenched themselves into rugged, craggy island. Now, at 98, Art Shaw looks back to tell the story. 82 Days on Okinawa is an extraordinary eyewitness account of this critical World War II battle.

The first step of Operation Downfallthe ground invasion of Japanthe Battle of Okinawa became legendary for its brutality. Over 82 days, the Allies fought the Japanese Army in one of the bloodiest campaigns of the war, one in which more than 150,000 soldiers would die. When the final calculations were made, the totals said that the Deadeyes had killed 37,763 of the enemy. The 361 Field Artillery Battalion had played a crucial role in victory. It would be the last major battle of World War II, and a key pivot point leading to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Japanese surrender in August, two months after the sieges end.

A riveting first-person account of this turning point, 82 Days on Okinawa joins the ranks of Donald Strattons All the Gallant Men and Dusty Kleiss' Never Call Me a Hero.
