520    "Political historian and commentator David Rothkopf shows 
       how Trump will be judged by history. (Spoiler alert: not 
       well) in Traitor. Donald Trump is unfit in almost every 
       respect for the high office he holds. But what 
       distinguishes him from every other bad leader the U.S. has
       had is that he has repeatedly, egregiously, betrayed his 
       country. Regardless of how Senate Republicans have let him
       off the hook, the facts available to the public show that 
       Trump has met every necessary standard to define his 
       behavior as traitorous. He has clearly broken faith with 
       the people of the country he was chosen to lead, starting 
       long before he took office, then throughout his time in 
       the White House. And we may not yet have seen the last of 
       his crimes. But the story we know so far is so outrageous 
       and disturbing that it raises a question that has never 
       before been presented in American history: is the 
       president of the United States the greatest threat this 
       country faces in the world? We also need to understand how
       the country has historically viewed such crimes and how it
       has treated them in the past to place what has happened in
       perspective. After his examination of traitors including 
       Benedict Arnold, Aaron Burr, and leaders of the 
       Confederacy, David Rothkopf concludes that Donald Trump 
       and his many abettors have committed the highest-level, 
       greatest, most damaging betrayal in the history of the 
       country"--|cProvided by publisher.
