Overview

The Mueller Report, featuring exclusive introductions by New York Times bestselling authors Jon Meacham, Michael Beschloss, and Evan Thomas Never before has a foreign state actor so successfully interfered in an American presidential election as did Russia in the 2016 electoral victory of Donald J. Trump. The historical significance of those events, and of the investigation of Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III into both the sprawling conspiracy at the heart of the Russian effort and the specter of possible collusion with the Trump campaign, make this report all the more urgent. Award-winning historians and journalists Jon Meacham, Michael Beschloss, and Evan Thomas introduce the Special Counsel's report, providing invaluable historical context as well as analysis of its origins and impact in both the political and legal worlds. Where does this report stand in presidential history? How does it rank compared to other investigations in the past? What will the American people--in the throes of a volatile and hyper-partisan era--likely make of Mueller's conclusions? And what are the implications for President Trump--and for the presidency itself?
