Ex-Trump Whistleblower to Release Shocking New Warning

PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE NOW

This July, one of the most prominent Trump-era whistleblowers is back with an urgent message. Miles Taylor - the "Anonymous" author behind the "eye-popping" (CNN) #1 New York Times bestseller A Warning - is releasing a new bombshell book sounding the alarm about how a deeply divided nation is setting the stage for the resurgence of Trumpism. The book is now available for pre-order.

WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / June 2, 2023 /

• On July 18, Simon & Schuster will release Taylor's new book Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump, which exposes jaw-dropping information about what will happen inside the White House of "Trump 2.0" or a corrupt copycat - described by reviewers as a book that "reads like a thriller and hits you like a tornado siren."
• With the 2024 election approaching, the formerly "Anonymous" official is back with stunning revelations and a sobering national forecast. Through interviews with dozens of ex-Trump aides and government leaders, Taylor reveals the shocking policies that are being prepared for a second Trump term, or the White House of a more competent and formidable copycat.
• What sounds like a political thriller-from shadowy presidential powers and CIA betrayals to angry henchmen and assassination plots-is instead America's political reality, as Taylor uses untold stories to shed light on the ex-President's unfulfilled plans, the dark forces haunting our civic lives, and how we can thwart the rise of extremism in the United States. Blowback is also a surprisingly emotional and self-critical portrait of a dissenter, whose own unmasking provides a vivid warning about what happens when we hide the truth from others and, most importantly, ourselves.

Hear what others are saying…

"A riveting read. Miles Taylor is one of the canaries in the coal mine of democracy. His call should be heard across the country. He provides the most authoritative account yet of what could happen if Trump returns to the White House. Essential reading for all Americans, regardless of political party." - Kendis Gibson, CBS News anchor

"Packed with jaw-dropping new details from inside the Trump presidency, Blowback…lays out in scarifying but necessary detail what a second Trumpist Administration would look like. Fortunately, it also provides a playbook for how to prevent it. But what gives this book its surprising depth is Taylor's account of what his time in the administration, and especially the months he carried the secret of being ‘Anonymous,' did to his mental health, bringing him to the brink of death. A riveting and important book." - Scott Stossel, National Editor, The Atlantic and author of My Age of Anxiety: Fear, Hope, Dread, and the Search for Peace of Mind

"One of the few ways to prevent the rise of authoritarianism is to tell the truth about it. Miles Taylor is such a truth-teller and Blowback is a prophetic warning. Sometimes past is prologue. We need to listen and prepare."

- Richard Stengel, Former editor, TIME Magazine

"Strap in for this one, folks!...Miles Taylor's Blowback overwhelms the reader as it warns of complacency in the face political tribalism. Miles reaches into the darker corners of a once proud Republican Party to expose its extremism and embrace of MAGA; and shines the refreshing light of truth on a pathway with no guardrails."

- Michael Steele, Former Republican National Committee chairman

"In Blowback, Miles Taylor tells a chilling story of Donald Trump's presidency behind the scenes, of the consequences he faced for exposing it, and of the danger Trumpism would pose to American democracy if returned to power. For voters, it's an alarm to abandon passivity and protect their country through the ballot box." - John Harwood, Former CNN White House correspondent

"Blowback is a compelling insider account, a prophecy, a warning, and a vivid illustration of just what is on the line for America in the next several years. Read it if you want to understand just how close to the edge we are as a country - and how we can pull back. Miles Taylor is a powerful, clear-eyed voice about the depth of the challenges we face as a nation." - Andrew Yang, Former Democratic presidential candidate

"If you think we've seen the worst of it, you're wrong. Miles Taylor pulls back the curtain and exposes the disturbing (and very real) consequences that await if the MAGA movement retakes the White House. There's a ticking time bomb inside of our democracy and - thankfully - Blowback shows us how to defuse it." - Barbara Comstock, Former Republican congresswoman

This is a warning that must be heeded." - Lt. Col. Alex Vindman (ret), Former director, White House National Security Council and author of Here, Right Matters

"It takes a gutsy patriot like Miles Taylor to help preserve and protect our democracy in its hour of need. Blowback is a clarion call to come to the defense of our great republic and to repel the forces of hate, fear and autocracy. Miles is a humble servant of America and a terrific writer. Couldn't put the book down." - Anthony Scaramucci, Investor, Former White House communications director

"Another rousing plea to all Americans to stand against authoritarianism." - Kirkus Reviews

"Blowback is quite simply the best and most frightening book written by an insider at the Trump White House. In this masterful tour de force, Miles Taylor not only exposes horrifying, previously unknown truths about our most divisive president, he convincingly shows that the breakdown of reason in the Trump years threatens America's future. Taylor demonstrates that we cannot count on ‘adults in the room' to rein in the worst instincts of an autocrat…only the public can save America with a recommitment to democracy. Without that, Blowback makes clear the great American experiment could well collapse in the face of rising autocracy."

- Kurt Eichenwald, New York Times best-selling author of Conspiracy of Fools and The Informant

"Blowback is not just a cautionary tale but a call to action for all of us. Miles Taylor's unflinching dedication to truth and transparency is a model for any public servant. As a former Governor, I've seen the power of good governance, and this book stands as a testament to the importance of vigilance in defending our democracy. Read it, and be inspired to action." - Steve Bullock, Former Montana governor and Democratic presidential candidate

"Miles writes in his latest compelling book, ‘Truth is the final guardrail of our collective democracy.' He takes us on his complicated, courageous journey to this truth through his poignant personal and professional path…Patriots are found in every corner of our country, and Miles is definitely one of them." - Matthew Dowd, MSNBC political analyst

"…timely and frightening. Should election deniers and conspiracy theorists get control of the Executive Branch in 2024, the American experiment could fail. Blowback is an urgent must-read for those concerned about our democracy, written by someone who knows firsthand what Trump or his allies would do a second time around." - Christine Todd-Whitman, former New Jersey governor

"Miles Taylor's Blowback is a must-read as America faces the threat of a second Trump term…The people behind Trump's new run are more authoritarian, more determined, and more dangerous than ever. Blowback lays out their plan and the risks it poses to the Republic. Terrifying, readable, and deeply important at this moment." - Rick Wilson, author of Everything Trump Touches Dies, co-founder of the Lincoln Project

"Miles Taylor offers an insider's look at…how the seeds of toxic partisanship have been sown to threaten American democracy for years to come…Blowback sounds the alarm on our country's perilous democratic backsliding. Taylor masterfully cautions us not to dismiss ‘Trumpism' as a one-off episode in our nation's history; instead, he asks us to face, head-on, the extent to which conspiracies and falsehoods have threatened our American project to its core." - Ali Soufan, former FBI special agent and author of The Black Banners (Declassified): How Torture Derailed the War on Terror after 9/11

"Miles Taylor gives a personal account of the costs associated with standing your ground in his new book Blowback. This book reads like a novel. Its storytelling is fast, precise, and engaging. A must read for anyone seeking the truth of the Trump Presidency." -Reid Ribble, Former Republican congressman

"Miles Taylor warns: next time, there will only be willing enablers who will never put civic virtue above being inside the ring."

- Admiral Joe Sestak (ret), Former Democratic congressman and presidential candidate

"In Blowback, Miles Taylor is saying what needs to be said. I led America's top ocean agency under Trump and witnessed his reckless disregard for democracy first-hand…If we allow him or someone like him to take the helm, they will surely run our country aground." - Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, PhD, U.S. Navy (ret)
