Description: "The Democratic Party enabled Donald Trump to become president twice because of repetition compulsions that still plague the top echelons of the party - undermining its potential to end the real-life nightmare of MAGA control over the federal government," Norman Solomon writes in The Blue Road to Trump Hell: How Corporate Democrats Paved the Way for Autocracy. "This book scrutinizes how the behavior of many Democrats assisted Trump's electoral triumphs. That scrutiny is important not only for clarity about the past. It also makes possible a focus on ways that such failures can be avoided in the future." Praise for Norman Solomon's book "War Made Invisible" "A powerful, necessary indictment of efforts to disguise the human toll of American foreign policy." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Norman Solomon exposes the cant and lies that underpin the global war on terror, indicting the policymakers, functionaries, and media propagandists who perpetuate this 'political license to kill.' Read it to understand how Americans were deceived and at last end what was designed to be a perpetual campaign of global violence and surveillance." - Charles Glass, former ABC News chief Middle East correspondent and author of "Syria Burning" and "Deserter" "No one is better at exposing the dynamics of media and politics that keep starting and continuing wars. War Made Invisible will provide the fresh and profound clarity that our country desperately needs." - Daniel Ellsberg, author of "The Doomsday Machine"
