Absolute MUST Read
I’m not a big fan of “political” books. (This is not, actually, a political book.) The last good book, like this, that I read cover to cover, was “All the President’s Men”. (Yes, I am that old.) That book looked at the tragic events during the Nixon Administration through the rear view mirror. Resistance looks at the tragic, ongoing, pre and post 2016 Election activities through a high power microscope.

A view of all the goings on in Washington as set forth by Wall Street Journal writer. So many names, so many breaking of rules and laws just because Donald Trump won the Presidency. I could go on and on, but rather if you prefer to get a view of what has gone on since 2016 from some other journalistic source other than 24-hour news TV or from NY or LA Times, etc. then give this a read. It is not going to make you love our President but it will make you open your eyes and see all the crap that go

Reading was rather dry for such a more usually incensed subject.
All of the reactions are observable to any American who had eyes and ears. Even the Constitution is being interpreted as up is down too now if any of it can stop a Trump objective.
She isn't my favorite author for this subject. She's too smart. But it should be core reading before any USA citizen votes in the next elections. The Swamp is truly ingrained and embedded to an extent that they would rather Americans suffer than lose any ...more

Most political books are written by people with a partisan axe to grind. Strassel is different. Sure she is conservative and she makes it clear, but she takes pains to avoid the kind of spin that the talking heads employ. Instead she takes us step by step, player by player, through the entire sordid tail of the anti-Trump conspiracy to overturn and de-legitimize the 2016 election - as a reporter who has followed this from the beginning. This is the most dangerous crisis that has faced this count

If you read the book solely for the introduction, it will be worth the time and price.
Left stated that Trump was not legitimate because he did not win the popular vote. This is a tired tale parroted over and over by the media and regurgitated by the leftists drones. The reason for the electoral college is because we are a representative republic. We are not a "democracy". In a TRUE democracy, Trump and all his supporters would be shot and killed based on the rhetoric. 51% could vote that the re ...more

Right biased not
It would be beneficial to all if someone wrote an honest, Franklin analysis of President Trump. Ms. Strassel did not even attempt such an analysis. Rather, this book is a repetition of pro Trump biases and accusations against anyone who doubts he is anything but a gift to the USA. Sad waste of time to read her nonsense, unless, of course, one wanted a true example of fake news.

A sad book
It is great but left stunned. I am a dedicated WSJ and NR reader so while little was surprising, the extent of the devious and self serving politicians and so called media people is revolting. The book is like bad tasting medicine. You must take it and hope and pray and be more involved so that things can get better.
Kim you are marvelous!

Kim Strassel is one of the few remaining “journalists” commenting on today’s political scene. This book is a good summation of the major left wing initiatives to destroy the Trump administration.
I hesitated reading this book only because of the title. I think the word Trump-hater diminishes what the book is meant to portray. However, Kimberley Strassel is a true journalist. She is a well-respected editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal. Her views are conservative but she is not afraid to disagree in principle with the current administration. In her preface Strassel does explain the meaning of the term Trump-Hater. Those individuals, both Republican and Democrat and a great deal of

This book is not a defense of Donald Trump. The subtitle says it all: "How Trump Haters Are Breaking America." Kimberly Strassel of the the Wall Street Journal is an excellent reporter. The essence of her thesis is that Donald Trump will be President for eight years at the most, but what the Resistance, i.e. the Trump haters, are doing will cause far more lasting damage to the republic and its institutions. Highly recommended.

For a while now I have felt that one of our biggest problems in America is our inability to discuss politics in a calm, reasonable manner. We seem only interested in making our point. A political discussion too often degrades quickly into two one-way heated diatribes. I realized that to work on this problem I had to look no further than myself. My motivation? I thought life could be a lot more interesting if I could learn to enjoy and learn from these political discussions, and perhaps in my own

In December 2019, for only the third time in American history, Congress impeached a U.S. President. In a party-line vote, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives approved two Articles of Impeachment, accusing President Trump of “abuse of power” and “obstruction of Congress.”
Reasonable people have reasonable concerns about President Trump’s style and his often self-defeating tweets. Yet no one has been able to provide any evidence proving that President Trump committed an impeachable cri ...more

Excellent. Resistance (At all Costs) should be required reading before anyone votes.
A must read for all open minded Americans. At times infuriating,at times terrifying. Always absorbing
I read Strassel in the WSJ and I wanted to read a book by her. What a surprise. This is not a book which is pro-Trump. It's a look at how Democrats and other Resisters have tried to destroy a presidency at any cost. At any cost! Terrible.
Very good read. I listened to it while running (on Audible). I'd come home from a run just shaking my head at what has gone from the minute the election was over. ...more

A very helpful read! Strassel provides a concise political history of the first 2 years of the Trump presidency and how the radical left has declared no holds barred in order to defeat him. From the FBI to the DOJ to the Press to the Democratic Party, all are involved in ending this presidency in any means necessary and our republic has been damaged as a result of it. Such a good read for those interested in politics and very recent history.
The last time I sat down to write a review of a Strassel book, I started out with a synopsis, but ended up typing out a rant. This time I’ll restrain myself.
Go ahead and read the blurb that GR uses as a synopsis. If you read it and already agree, this book will give more examples that may just aggravate you further. But if you read the synopsis and think that the premise is nuts, you should read this book and have your eyes opened.

The book is a great summary of the views of many pro-Trump people, especially regarding the attacks and criticism of Trump itself, and why many see the campaign against Trump as unprecedented in American history. In many ways, this is true, and it is also true that many of the tactics used by Trump critics are completely atypical and without parallel. The book, however, brushes aside all criticism of Trump, saying that it is the prerogative of the President to act as he chooses, and for everyone

Excellent book detailing the outright lies and fake news pushed by liberals trying to destroy Trump

I write this review as the hyper-partisan House Democrats are poised to file articles of impeach against Donald Trump.
Last week, the Democrats had three hyper-partisan anti-Trump law professors make a political case against Trump based on, apparently, their collective belief that Trump wants to crown himself king. (Seriously, what was that crack about making Barron Trump a baron, about?) It's all incoherent and ...more

FINALLY !!! It took someone like Kimberley Strassel to write a perfect book like this. I've read a bunch of books covering the topic of the whole "Trump-Russia-media-resistance-FBI-DOJ-etc-etc." topic. Almost all other books I've read on these topics always seems to get overwhelmed with all the names and dates and thus the book becomes difficult to read and follow. Kimberley Strassel does an AWESOME job covering everything and putting into layman's terms without getting swamped (no pun intended)

the opposite of openess, in with distrust lies fake.
Even though I'm a newshound, Strassel's summary of the events of the last 4 years still held surprises for me. There are about 20 unanswered questions about who did things to the current administration, and the FBI Director has a moral obligation to get to the bottom of these criminal acts. Strassel should do a Fox News Special, "20 Crimes" or "20 Unanswered Questions" to summarize these troubling illegal acts by swamp denizens. After reading this book, I'm convinced Wray should go and the FBI n

A must read for all Americans. The corruption of the Democratic Party is both very sad and astounding! This Is NOT the Democratic party of neither my parents' nor Presidents Truman and Kennedy!

Contemporary topics and insights into the insanity plaguing those who disagree with leftist philosophies and their attempts to overturn an election. Well written, researched, and insightful. Love Kim Strassel.
SUCCINCTLY WRITTEN. IT IS HIGHLY INFORMATIVE
Succinctly well written and highly informative. Persuasive, although it could use a few quotes. I hope that she wrote at least one more book. Keep up the 👍work, Kimberly🙈🙉🙊 Happy Halloween!

What an amazing book! For those who are unfamiliar with true journalism, this book is an excellent example. Should be required reading in all high school or college writing classes.

“But the fact the FBI had it, or that Representative Adam Schiff quoted from it in public, didn’t release the press from a basic obligation: to either verify the truth or treat the document for what it was—slander. Instead, the media repeated the dossier’s claims (Carter Page met with shady Russians, etc.) ad nauseum, barely bothering to note that they had not been proven.”

“There is, in fact, a reason the subtitle of this book refers to “Trump haters” rather than “Trump critics.” Many thoughtful Americans, and many thoughtful political writers, have issues with our 45th president—myself included. But the critics have also worked to do that very hard thing of judging Trump via the same lens they have judged past presidents. They praise him when he gets things right. They criticize him when he gets things wrong. This is the usual and long-held method of political accountability. But the “haters” can’t abide nuance. To the Resistance, any praise—no matter how qualified—of Trump is tantamount to American betrayal. And by extension, any criticism of the Resistance is equally heretical. If you are a Trump hater, this is an excellent way of shutting down challenges to your tactics or arguments. But it’s a rotten way of furthering public debate, and the ensuing vacuum of meaningful discussion has already led the Resistance to overindulge. It is now engaging in behavior that is proving far more corrosive to our institutions and”
