Julian E. Zelizer & Burning Down the House at Book Soup – Crowdcast Online Event

Join author Julian E. Zelizer, in conversation with David Cross, to discuss his new non-fiction book, Burning Down the House: Newt Gingrich, the Fall of a Speaker, and the Rise of the New Republican Party.

When Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, President Obama observed that Trump “is not an outlier; he is a culmination, a logical conclusion of the rhetoric and tactics of the Republican Party.” In this book the author pinpoints the moment when our country was set on a path to bitterly partisan and ruthless politics: an era ignited by Newt Gingrich and his allies in 1989. This is the story of how they created a new normal in Washington D.C.
