The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare America's deepest divisions. Writers of The Atlantic take an unflinching look at the nation's unraveling in "American Crisis." From the Oval Office to Main Street, they chronicle a country in turmoil - leadership failures, social upheaval, and the myriad impacts on everyday lives. This is no sugarcoated portrait, but a searing, data-driven analysis of how the world's superpower found itself in free fall. Yet amid the despair, the book offers a glimmer of hope - a path forward through civic renewal and collective purpose.
