This book tears Donald Trump's presidency to shreds - exposing his ignorance, bullying, lying, racism, deep ties to Russia and destruction of America's standing in the world with fact after fact after undisputed fact, all wrapped up in a withering portrayal of the 45th president. Fred Hill doesn't spare the Republican politicians of today whom he sees as ripe for a remake of the great science fiction film, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, for their craven abasement to a clownish TV reality showman who has trampled on the rule of law, our basic freedoms of the press and religion and U.S. alliances that have provided global leadership since World War II. As a foreign correspondent, senior adviser to a respected Republican senator and then head of a State Department office that conducted wargames on national security issues, the author's articles in leading U.S. newspapers applies a rare depth of experience and knowledge to a disastrous presidency that the American Political Science Association has ranked the worst in American history.

About Frederic B. Hill

Frederic B. Hill was a reporter, foreign correspondent and editorial writer for The Baltimore Sun, including tours as its bureau chief in London and Paris, covering Europe and southern Africa. His award-winning articles on corruption in Baltimore and Maryland led to major reforms and convictions of high-level government officials, including, indirectly, the resignation of former Vice-President Spiro Agnew.
He was foreign affairs director for Republican Senator Charles McC. Mathias, Jr. in 1985-86 and assisted the senator in a number of path-breaking legislative achievements, such as the anti-Apartheid Act of 1986.
He then helped establish and led the Department of State's first Office of Special Programs. The office conducted policy planning exercises (wargames) on national security and global issues from 1986 to 2006.

A native of Maine and graduate of Bowdoin College, Hill is author of "Ships, Swindlers and Scalded Hogs; The Rise and Fall of the Crooker Shipyard in Bath, Maine" (Down East Books, 2016) and co-editor of "The Life of Kings; The Baltimore Sun and the Golden Age of the American Newspaper" (Rowman & Littlefield, 2016). He and Alexander J. Hill are co-authors of the forthcoming adventures of a bold Maine seaman, "A Flick of Sunshine," and he is author/editor of two collections of essays; "Dereliction of Duty, The Failed Presidency of Donald John Trump," a collection of his op ed columns for leading American newspapers, with a foreword by Sen. Chris Van Hollen, and "On the Wallaby, The Short Stories of Richard Matthews Hallet."
He is a member and former president of Maine's First Ship, an organization building a reconstruction of the first ship built by English settlers in the New World, in 1607. He is a competitive squash doubles player and avid if erratic golfer who enjoys Mark Twain's "good walk spoiled" as much as possible.
He lives in Maine and Baltimore.

Robert Jay Lifton - "Genocidal Mentality: Nazi Doctors and the Holocaust"

Holocaust, Hebrew Shoʾah, Yiddish and Hebrew Ḥurban (“Destruction”), the systematic state-sponsored killing of six million Jewish men, women, and children and millions of others by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War II. The Germans called this “the final solution to the Jewish question.” The word Holocaust is derived from the Greek holokauston, a translation of the Hebrew word ʿolah, meaning a burnt sacrifice offered whole to God. This word was chosen because in the ultimate manifestation of the Nazi killing program—the extermination camps—the bodies of the victims were consumed whole in crematoria and open fires.
