Publisher Description

The author behind the “eye-popping” (CNN) #1 New York Times bestseller A Warning presents an urgent look at how our deeply divided nation is setting the stage for “The Next Trump.”

Donald Trump will be president again, whether he is on the ballot or not. That is because Trumpism is overtaking the Republican Party and will mount a vigorous comeback, potentially in the hands of a savvier successor—The Next Trump.

This prophecy will come true, according to Miles Taylor, if we do not learn the lessons of the recent past.

With the 2024 election approaching, the formerly “Anonymous” official is back with bombshell revelations and a sobering national forecast. Through interviews with dozens of ex-Trump aides and government leaders, Taylor predicts what could happen inside “Trump 2.0,” the White House of a more competent and more formidable copycat.

What sounds like a political thriller—from shadowy presidential powers and CIA betrayals to angry henchmen and assassination plots—is instead America’s political reality, as Taylor uses untold stories to shed light on the ex-President’s unfulfilled plans, the dark forces haunting our civic lives, and how we can thwart the rise of extremism in the United States.

Blowback is also a surprisingly emotional and self-critical portrait of a dissenter, whose own unmasking provides a vivid warning about what happens when we hide the truth from others and, most importantly, ourselves.

"Outstanding book. This was a true story told by the author who experienced it.He is a great man and a great American who sacrificed so much to inform the American about the danger we face in the next election. I wish that everyone could get his message and commit to fighting back to avoid repeating the results of 2016."
— Dick (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

“Another rousing plea to all Americans to stand against authoritarianism.”
— Kirkus Reviews
“Taylor’s cautionary narrative has a place in library collections for its compelling backstory and for its guidance for dissent against MAGA extremism.”
— Booklist
“Blowback is a compelling insider account, a prophecy, a warning, and a vivid illustration of just what is on the line for America in the next several years.”
— Andrew Yang, former Democratic presidential candidate
“One of the few ways to prevent the rise of authoritarianism is to tell the truth about it. Miles Taylor is such a truth-teller and Blowback is a prophetic warning. Sometimes past is prologue. We need to listen and prepare.”
— Richard Stengel, former editor, Time magazine

— Lieutenant Colonel Alex Vindman (Ret), former director, White House National Security Council and author of Here, Right Matters
“Strap in for this one, folks!…Miles reaches into the darker corners of a once proud Republican Party to expose its extremism and embrace of MAGA and shines the refreshing light of truth on a pathway with no guardrails.”

" Not sure what the audio book version of a page turner is but this is it. I gave it a binge listen. Start to finish in one 13 hour session. This is a must listen and I’m glad I gave it a spin. I would highly recommend giving Mr Taylor a listen!! I know what I’ll be listening to on my Tuesday commute. "
