| Summary, Etc. |
This book by journalist Salena Zito provides an eyewitness account of the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Drawing on her close proximity to the event, interviews with Trump, his inner circle, and local community members, Zito explores both the immediate aftermath and the broader political context. The narrative examines how rural America, particularly towns like Butler, played a pivotal role in Trump's 2024 election victory, offering insight into the motivations and perspectives of heartland voters.
