From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Devil's Bargain comes its bookend, the story of the progressive takeover of the Democratic Party, channeled through the stories of Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and especially Elizabeth Warren.

The center is not holding. In Devil's Bargain, Joshua Green told the fateful tale of the semi-hostile takeover of the GOP via the right-wing populist insurgency that Trump and Bannon perpetrated to storm the White House. Now, in The Takeover, he tells what in many respects is the mirror-image of that story, from the left. The Takeover is an equally mesmerizing inside account of the dramatic pitched struggle for the soul of the Democratic Party, between the old guard defending the centrist, Wall Street and corporate-funded institution of the Clinton era and a cadre of unapologetic progressives, catalyzed by the leadership of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and--representing the next generation--Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Just after the Great Recession, during Occupy Wall Street, Warren was a Harvard professor, Sanders a slightly wacky senator, and Ocasio-Cortez a New York City waitress and bartender. Now, the three figures are the symbols and agents of a sea change in American politics. Green interweaves the rise of each of these protagonists into a powerful human narrative that crystalizes the last 20 years of American political history on the left--and the probable trajectory of the next 20 years.

Fueled by unprecedented access to his protagonists and their teams and driven by the same alchemy of prodigious political savvy and delightful storytelling flair that made Devil's Bargain so irresistible, The Takeover takes us to the heart of the other defining political story of our time, up to the cusp of the 2020 Democratic convention, which will be the referendum on how far the revolution has come, and how far it still may go.
