Maggie Haberman & Jonathan Swan's Regime Change

A gripping, behind-the-scenes account of power at its most unrestrained—and a presidency that redefined the limits of American authority. Maggie Haberman & Jonathan Swan’s Regime Change offers a vivid exploration of Donald Trump’s presidency at its most consequential moment. No longer shaped by the constraints and resistance that once surrounded him, Trump emerges as a leader driven by instinct, urgency, and an expanded sense of executive power. Through immersive storytelling and sharp political analysis, this book brings readers into the inner workings of a White House operating under new rules—where decisions are made faster, opposition carries greater risk, and the traditional boundaries of governance are continuously tested. At the center of this account is a presidency transformed: institutions challenged, authority consolidated, and the balance between power and restraint pushed further than in modern history. The narrative traces how political battles, public scrutiny, and years outside office reshaped Trump’s approach, producing a leadership style defined by bold action and high-stakes decisions. From domestic tensions to global consequences, Regime Change captures a period in which the American presidency itself is reimagined—and the ripple effects are felt far beyond Washington. Compelling and thought-provoking, this is an essential portrait of power in an era where the rules are shifting—and the outcome remains uncertain.
