Julian E. Zelizer, author of BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE (Penguin Press), will present a virtual book talk hosted by the Harvard Bookstore (Cambridge, MA) via Harvard.com on Tuesday, July 21 at 7:00 pm (ET).
In BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE, Zelizer pinpoints the moment when our country was set on a path toward an era of bitterly partisan and ruthless politics, an era that was ignited by Newt Gingrich. From the Contract with America to the rise of the Tea Party and the Trump presidential campaign, his fingerprints can be seen throughout some of the most divisive episodes in contemporary American politics. Burning Down the House presents the alarming narrative of how Gingrich and his allies created a new normal in Washington.
