Written by highly distinguished journalists Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump’s Catastrophic Final Year in Office is a wide-ranging and exhaustively documented historical account of the varying events that occurred during the last year of Donald Trump’s presidency. While any compelling work on the events of a presidency is significant, this book provides groundbreaking details about important recent historical events. These events included the beginning and progression of the COVID-19 pandemic, protests related to racial injustice in the United States in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, the 2020 presidential election campaign, and the many ways Trump attempted to overturn the outcome of that election.
