The Shadow President

fullDescription

In this well-rounded, deeply-investigated biography, the first full look at the vice president, two award-winning journalists unmask the real Mike Pence.
Little-known outside his home state until Donald Trump made him his running mate, Mike Pence—who proclaims himself a Christian first, a conservative second, and a Republican third—has long worn a carefully-constructed mask of Midwestern nice. Behind his self-proclaimed humility and self-abasing deference, however, hides a man whose own presidential ambitions have blazed since high school. Pence's drive for power, perhaps inspired by his belief that God might have big plans for him, explains why he shocked his allies by lending Christian credibility to a scandal-plagued candidate like Trump.
In this landmark biography, Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael D'Antonio and Emmy-nominated journalist Peter Eisner follow the path Pence followed from Catholic Democrat to conservative evangelical Republican. They reveal how he used his time as rightwing radio star to build connections with powerful donors; how he was a lackluster lawmaker in Congress but a prodigious fundraiser from the GOP's billionaire benefactors; and how, once he locked in his views on the issues—anti-gay, pro-gun, anti-abortion, pro big-business—he became laser-focused on his own pursuit of power.
As THE SHADOW PRESIDENT reveals, Mike Pence is the most important and powerful Christian Right politician America has ever seen. Driven as much by theology as personal ambition, Pence is now positioned to seize the big prize—the presidency—and use it to fashion a nation more pleasing to his god and corporate sponsors.
Praise for The Shadow President:
"It presents an entirely damning portrait of Pence. You've seen his colors before, but not so vividly and in this detail." — Frank Bruni, The New York Times
"Producing a biography of a living, controversial politician is always difficult. D'Antonio and Eisner have succeeded in this well-documented, damning book."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

     July 9, 2018
     Beneath his Hoosier niceness, the 48th vice president is an ambitious power-seeker who may usher in a theocracy, according to this overwrought exposé. Journalists D’Antonio (The Truth About Trump) and Eisner (MacArthur’s Spies) style Mike Pence as the power behind Donald Trump’s throne, “a regent... humoring a temperamental boy king” while insinuating followers into government positions and awaiting an Oval Office vacancy. Meanwhile, they warn, he has become “perhaps the most powerful Christian supremacist America has ever seen,” building a coalition of evangelicals and business libertarians who want something like the society in The Handmaid’s Tale, only deregulated. But their research belies their alarm and reveals Pence to be a run-of-the-mill conservative Republican, favoring tax cuts, small government, and impotent culture-war gestures. (An abortion-restriction bill he signed as governor of Indiana was struck down, and he watered down a measure allowing Indiana businesses to refuse service to gay weddings after protests.) The authors spend much effort trying to link Pence to the controversy surrounding the Trump administration’s Russia ties and come up only with question marks; otherwise his “shadow presidency” consists mainly of banal pro-Trump speeches and junkets. There’s not much new information in this portrait of Pence, just exaggerated dudgeon.
