This book is intended to serve as a comprehensive overview of the original book rather than to replace it in any way.
This is an independent author publication by Justin Davison that provides a detailed summary of the book. Luke Mogelson returned home in the early 2020s to report on the social unrest that the epidemic was bringing to the forefront across the US after years of living abroad and reporting on the Global War on Terror. His dispatches to The New Yorker revealed a larger story with worrying implications for America. His assignment, which started with right-wing militias in Michigan, quickly took him to a protest for racial justice in Minneapolis, then to antifascist clashes in the streets of Portland, and finally to an attempted insurrection in Washington, D.C. They were just the start.
This is the authoritative eyewitness account of how a significant portion of Americans came to believe that they needed to fight against evil forces that were trying to steal their country away from them during a time of illness, economic uncertainty, and violence. From the start of COVID-19 until the attack on the US Capitol--during which Mogelson followed the mob into the Senate chamber--and its aftermath, it develops month by month through realistic portrayals of events on the ground. The Storm Is Here is both a singular chronicle of a critical period in American history and a dire warning about those that lie ahead. It was bravely reported and exquisitely written.
