Zelizer himself offers an excellent concise history of the Republican Party's recent history. ... What's most commendable is that all of their arguments and extensive knowledge are advanced in nonpartisan, critically fair, and neutral form. ... An important historical account of the Trump era. * Kirkus Reviews *

After thousands of articles and scores of books about Donald Trump's mostly catastrophic presidency, it's difficult for anyone to break dramatic new ground. But this new volume, with contributions from 18 American academics, is broader and deeper than all its predecessors. ---Charles Kaiser, Guardian This book comes as a welcome corrective to the news media's eternal puzzlement over Trump: It's a rich collection that significantly expands perspectives, beyond the familiar media frames, across a wide range of topics. ---Paul Rosenberg, Salon The authors of these essays should be commended for not letting the Trump years simply flash before their eyes and for putting pen to paper to compose their own first drafts. In The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: A First Historical Assessment, they have carried out an Operation Warp Speed of their own and helped us better understand the most crazed and frenetic presidency of our lifetimes. ---Nick Bryant, Foreign Policy
