How Steve Bannon Seized The Presidency

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jul 17, 2017

Joshua Green, a senior national correspondent at Bloomberg Businessweek, spent six years interviewing key players who would go onto shape the results of the 2016 presidential election for his book, Devil's Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Storming of the Presidency. Green explores with us how Bannon rose to prominence within the far-right, his years-long plan to stop Hillary Clinton, and how he changed American history when his ethno-nationalist messaging found a champion in Donald Trump.

Joshua Green will appear for a Q&A and book signing on July 26 at 7:00 p.m. at the Barnes & Noble Upper West Side (2289 Broadway, at 82nd St.).
