Reviews
Praise for Unpresidented
"[A] thorough, hard-hitting volume that seeks to explain Trump, from the time he was born . . . to his shocker of a presidential campaign"—The New York Times Book Review
"Well-researched and sugarcoats neither his actions nor his words."—The Washington Post
"An engrossing, readable narrative of Trump’s rise . . . Chapters on the growth—or if not verifiable financial growth, at least sprawl—of this business empire are probably worth the price of admission for teens of all political stripes who are drawn to bios of tech, social media, and e-commerce moguls."—The Bulletin
"It is not a flattering portrait of the forty-fifth president, but it is a factually accurate one, scrupulously documented and well-reasoned, with photographs and primary-source documents included throughout."—The Horn Book
"A thorough, timely guide to a wretched hive of scum and villainy."—Kirkus Reviews
"Brockenbrough documents her book in copious notes, and her bibliography shows diverse sources . . . this measured resource will provide readers—and citizens—with the tools they need to stay informed despite murky waters."—Booklist
"Painstaking research, straightforward delivery, and succinct explanations make this a smart addition to nonfiction collections."—School Library Journal (starred review)
