Few expected Donald Trump to return to the White House stronger than before. The indictments, convictions, assassination attempts, and four years of political exile made him not weaker but more powerful, more vengeful, and more willing to gamble than any President that came before him.
Regime Change is the definitive account of the first year of Donald Trump’s second presidency, based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administration’s most closely guarded rooms. Journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman investigate the decisions that have defined Trump’s second term, which has been liberated from every constraint that defined his first. The generals who once told him ‘no’ are gone, and the lawyers who remain have learned to pick their battles.
Haberman and Swan take you behind the scenes of a presidency that has launched a new war in the Middle East, sealed the border, deployed National Guard troops into American cities, transformed the Justice Department into an instrument of retribution against the President’s enemies, and turned the office itself into a brazen vehicle for profit. They reveal a President operating almost entirely on instinct and a White House operating at the edge of political power.
Regime Change shows how Trump has wielded that power, who has tried to stop him, and why nearly all of them have failed. A landmark work of real-time political history, this is the story of a President who has fundamentally altered how the world understands American power.

Critic reviews
‘A flabbergasting feat of political reporting. There are times reading this book when I wondered how the hell these two New York Times scribes got such amazing blow-by-blow dish, unless they were hiding under the Resolute desk in the Oval Office . . . A news bomb on every page’
(Tina Brown)
(Tina Brown)
‘Riveting and richly textured… [Haberman and Swan] wrest reality itself back from the distorted world of entertainment, illusion, fantasy and denial that Trump has generated around himself. It is this flood of provocation, atrocity, self-dealing and fabrication that makes Haberman and Swan’s counternarrative so vital’ (Fintan O’Toole )
'Regime Change is exceptional. It transcends its genre . . . the book is packed with news that will stay news . . . This is reporting of consequence’
(David Remnick)
(David Remnick)
‘Regime Change paints a vivid and deeply unsettling tableau of a chaotic period during which Trump has governed with awesome power and unprecedented impunity’
‘A blockbuster new book’
‘The blockbuster book of the first 14 months of Trump 2.0’
'Iluminating and disturbing reportage'
