Free Audiobook : Romney – A Reckoning, By McKay Coppins

Mitt Romney stands as a unique figure in American political history. As a vocal critic within Donald Trump's GOP, he's been at the forefront of opposition, notably being the first senator to vote for the removal of a president from his own party. When the Capitol was stormed by the president's supporters, Romney didn't hold back, accusing his Republican peers of inciting rebellion. Yet, for all his public bravado, Romney has remained largely silent about his behind-the-scenes experiences spanning three decades in politics. This includes interactions with political giants like Donald Trump, John McCain, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and others. However, for this biography, he offers an intimate glimpse into his most guarded reflections.

Drawing from extensive interviews with Romney, his close associates, family, and personal writings, acclaimed journalist McKay Coppins crafts a comprehensive portrayal of a politician genuinely grappling with his life's decisions. The narrative delves into Romney's formative years, his ascent in an evolving Republican Party, and highlights the cumulative effects of political leaders' compromises on democracy. Romney: A Reckoning paints a picture of a complex individual who found his moral compass amidst the rising tide of American division and uncertainty.
