    "description": "Inspired by John F. Kennedy's classic work, Jacob Weisberg's book examines the individuals and institutions that have enabled Donald Trump as he tested the limits of executive power. The work investigates leadership failures across multiple sectors of American public and professional life. Weisberg focuses on law firm leaders, university presidents, court authorities, and politicians who chose appeasement over resistance. Through these detailed case studies, the book explores the concept of what the author terms \"civic cowardice.\" Ultimately, it argues that key leaders repeatedly failed to push back against challenges to democratic norms when courage was most required.",
