Bannon: always the rebel

He helped engineer one of the greatest upsets in political history - the election of Donald J. Trump as president of the United States. And he's far from done. Now he wants to restore America - its prosperity, its sense of self, and its ability to survive a perilous twenty-first century. To do that, former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon intends to transform the Republican Party from a club for establishment flunkies into a populist political force powerful enough to take on America's military, economic, and cultural adversaries. In Bannon, Always the Rebel, veteran White House reporter Keith Koffler - who had hours of exclusive access to Bannon, both during and immediately after his tenure at the White House - offers a penetrating portrait of the man and his ideas. In Bannon, you'll learn: How Bannon's core values come from his Catholic faith, his working-class background, and his service in the Navy; How Bannon's faith helped him stop drinking; Why Bannon - even as a Harvard Business School grad - was always an outsider; how he made his money in Hollywood - and then became both a maverick writer, producer, and director of conservative documentaries and the leader of a political movement at Breitbart.com; How Bannon plans to remake the GOP as a workers' party that will attract minority voters and become the dominant political force of the twenty-first century; Why Bannon believes America is a civilization in crisis. Provocative, original, concise, Bannon: Always the Rebel might just change the way you think - not only about Steve Bannon, but about politics and America's future. -- from dust jacket.
