In The Unquotable Trump (Drawn and Quarterly), the master of the comic book mash-up finds the POTUS to be his ultimate super-villain.

In perfect Trumpian fashion, The Unquotable Trump is a 48-page treasury annual―needlessly oversized and garishly colored; a throw-back to the past when both Comics and America were Great. This is the hugest comic, truly a great comic. You won’t want to miss this, trust me, you’ll see!

He is the author of many works on Southern history, including Still Fighting the Civil War, Black, White, and Southern, and, most recently, America Aflame. In The Gifted Generation: When Government Was Good (Bloomsbury), a sweeping history of the post-World War II decades, Goldfield examines the generation immediately after WWII and argues that the federal government was instrumental in the great economic, social, and environmental progress of the era.

He brilliantly shows how the nation’s leaders persevered to create the conditions for the most gifted generation in U.S. history.
