Get Real Non-Fiction Book Group: The Storm Is Here: An American Crucible by Luke Mogelson

Join us on May 9th at 1:00 pm in the HCH Community Room for a discussion of The Storm Is Here: An American Crucible by Luke Mogelson. An on-the-ground, eyewitness account of the Jan 6th attack on the US Capital.  The author examines how a large segment of Americans  became convinced of the need to battle against a perceived plot to take their country away from them. Through vivid depictions of events on the ground, from the onset of COVID-19 to the attack on the US Capitol—during which the author followed the mob into the Senate chamber—and its aftermath. A book that helps us understand the origin and appeal of conspiracy theories and the extremism that has spread across America.  After reading this book you will ask yourself the question: Will the center hold? The New Yorker's Best Books of 2022.
