The Great Revolt: Inside the Populist Coalition Reshaping American Politics

I have read much about the outcome of the 2016 election but I'm not sure that I have read anything that clearly delves into why so many people voted for Barack Obama in one election and Donald Trump in the next.  As someone who lives in the Midwest, I know and understand these people (even if I don't necessarily agree) and I got a lot out of reading their perspective.  Because of its topic, it is definitely one sided and the quoted statistics become really repetitive, but I do think it is important to read and understand all sides.  I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
