“As readable as it is horrifying, Greg Olear’s Rough Beast bathes the reader in unassailable facts about the presumptive Republican nominee…This is real. This is not a drill. Avoid reading this very necessary book at freedom’s peril.”—Rachel Slade, author of Into the Raging Sea and Making It In America

“Rough Beast lays out in detail who, and what, the US would be bringing back into office, and the picture should frighten anyone who isn't going to directly benefit from theocratic autocracy.”—Brynn Tannehill, author of American Fascism: How the GOP is Subverting Democracy

"If Donald Trump wins a second term in office, it won't be at all like his first—it will be much, much worse. As Greg Olear shows with bracing clarity in Rough Beast, Trump is a criminal who is desperate for power and revenge. Trump is running for dictator and the 2024 election might be the nation's last.”—Jennifer Mercieca, author of Demagogue for President: The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump

“Greg Olear’s voice—informed, erudite, outraged, lyrical and concise—is the necessary antidote to Steve Bannon’s ‘flood the zone with sh*t’ MAGA chaos communications strategy. Buy, read, and share this book wherever the madness of Trump’s first term has left memory holes.”—Nina Burleigh, author of Virus and The Trump Women: Part of the Deal
