Zusammenfassung:"Insurrection offers a profound and incisive analysis of the underlying factors that culminated in the assault on Washington's Capitol on that fateful day in January 2021. Going far beyond journalistic accounts, this book delves into structural trends within the United States, providing a broader and deeper context for comprehending the magnitude for the uprising. It explores the crisis of democracy, escalating violence, widening inequality, and the prominence of conspiratorial discourse within American politics. By examining the long-term issues as well as the tumultuous events of 2020, including the COVID-19 pandemic, policing challenges, and the fiercely contested presidential election, this book uncovers the catalysts behind conspiracy theories and the politics of outrage to create a compelling narrative about the contemporary face of the USA." -- Back cover
