“A meticulous history. . . . An essential read for anyone seriously
concerned with the fate of democracy in the United States. The book
belongs in every library seeking to record the major forces and
personalities shaping the 21st century.” —New York Journal of
Books
“A deeply-reported look at President Donald Trump and his chaotic
administration . . . Shocking revelations.” —People
“What [I Alone Can Fix It] argues in a detailed case is that the
catastrophe of 2020 was a result of Trump's proclivity to put
political optics above all else, including American lives.” —USA
Today
“A blockbuster follow-up to A Very Stable Genius, in which Leonnig
and Rucker chronicled the chaos of Trump’s first three years in
office. I Alone Can Fix It pulls back the curtain on the handling
of Covid-19, the re-election bid and its chaotic and violent
aftermath. The pair are Pulitzer winners, for investigative
reporting. Their book is essential reading. They have receipts,
which they lay out for all to see.” —The Guardian
"Incisive, dramatic and masterful . . . Leonnig and Rucker capture
it all. Just when we think, in absorbing these horrific events of
the transfer of power to Joe Biden, that we can’t be shocked any
more—we are. The tumult is raw and real and ugly. The Trump Oval
Office is a place defiled. As they showed us previously, their
reporting is as authoritative and seamless as the legends they have
now succeeded—Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein—under the shield of
the venerable Post." —The Sydney Morning Herald
“We begin tonight with breaking news on just how unhinged the final
days of the last administration were and how much worse they might
have gotten . . . These and other chilling scenes are contained in
a new book, I Alone Can Fix It.” —Anderson Cooper, CNN’s “Anderson
Cooper 360”
“We begin with explosive new revelations about just how close
American democracy came to the edge. Jaw-dropping excerpts from a
new book about the aftermath of the 2020 election . . . I don’t
want people to lose sight of the historic nature of what is being
reported here.” —John Berman, CNN’s “New Day”
“We are now getting some bracing new revelations about Donald
Trump’s final year, his final days in the White House, and they
come from the Pulitzer Prize writing duo, friends of this
broadcast, Phil Rucker and Carol Leonnig of the Washington Post in
their new book, I Alone Can Fix It.” —Brian Williams, MSNBC’s “11th
Hour”
“In never-before-seen excerpts from the brand-new book I Alone Can
Fix It by Phil Rucker and Carol Leonnig, we are learning that the
Trump presidency was much, much worse than any of us imagined and
that the people around him all knew it. They also knew he had
autocratic tendencies and would do anything to cling to power,
including endangering the life of his own Vice President and the
Vice President’s family. Blockbuster new reporting in this
yet-to-be-released book bears that out and adds to our
understanding of the horrors of January 6th.” —Nicolle Wallace,
MSNBC’s “Deadline White House”
“Thank God we have reporters like Phil and Carol . . . to be able
to go back and tell us what was actually going on. Everything is
shocking.” —John Heilemann, MSNBC’s “Deadline White House”
“Explosive new reporting tonight describing the country’s most
senior military officer comparing former President Trump’s lies
about election fraud to Nazi-era Germany. . . . That’s according to
the new book by two Washington Post reporters based on interviews
with more than 140 people, with newly revealed details of fears
from top military brass of how close the country was to chaos.”
—Hallie Jackson, “NBC Nightly News”
“Bombshell reporting.” —David Muir, “ABC World News Tonight”
“That’s the importance of this book . . . We’re finally getting
behind the scenes as to what our leaders were saying and knew about
Trump.” —Carl Bernstein, CNN’s “New Day”
