BEYOND THE MESSY TRUTH: HOW WE CAME APART, HOW WE COME TOGETHER
A passionate manifesto that exposes hypocrisy on both sides of the political divide and points a way out of the tribalism that is tearing America apart - by the CNN political contributor and host hailed as "a star of the 2016 campaign" (New York Times) who tries to "fight the right way" (New Yorker).
