For thirty years, one man built a president, and made sure history would never write his name.
Victor Kane was a Harvard professor once, brilliant enough to be feared and broken publicly for it at a dinner table by the family that ran the machine beneath American politics. He never raised his voice, never took revenge, and never forgot. Instead, he found a steelworker's son with nothing but grief and a good face, and spent three decades turning him into the most beloved man in the country, one election, one favor, one quiet death at a time, always a hand's width from the frame, so that when the boy finally put his hand on a Bible and swore the oath, not one person watching would ever think to look for the man who had made him.
How to Steal a Country is the story of that man, the dynasty he destroyed to do it, and the one price he never let himself collect. Epic in scope and unbearably intimate in its detail, it is a novel about power the way it actually moves: quietly, patiently, and always through someone else's hands.
For readers of House of Cards, The Power of the Dog, and All the King's Men: a thirty-year war for the American presidency, waged by one man who never appears in a single photograph.
