About The Unwinding by George Packer:
 
Detailing the United States' decline in the latter half of the twentieth century, journalist George Packer's The Unwinding reads like a memoir but contains the hard-hitting facts of an exposĂ©. Packer's history of America looks at a cast of interesting figures—from community organizers to laborers, Democratic Party staffers to small business owners—including household names such as Oprah Winfrey, Colin Powell, Raymond Carver, Jay-Z, and Elizabeth Warren, to produce a stunning portrait of what the United States has become and where it's headed next.
 
The Unwinding won the National Book Award, was a National Book Circle Award finalist, and was named by the New York Times as one of the best books to read to understand the Trump presidency.
 
The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.
