NEW YORK (AP) — Television host Rachel Maddow is turning her attention to the Justice Department for her latest literary project, following previous bestselling works about military affairs, energy sectors, and democratic institutions.
Publisher Crown, part of Penguin Random House, revealed Monday that ‘Department of Fate’ will hit shelves November 10, seven days following this year’s midterm elections, promising to deliver ‘both a diagnosis and a prescription for the American institution.’
‘As goes DOJ, so goes the republic,’ the liberal author, podcaster and MS Now host said in a statement issued through Crown. ‘What DOJ chooses to pursue — and what it lets go — can determine the boundaries of our political rights, our economy, and the fundamental question of whether the protections written into our Constitution are just words, or real life.’
Crown indicates that Maddow will examine ‘triumphs and misdeeds’ spanning the agency’s 150-year existence, covering everything from ‘the riotous chaos of the Red Scare’ following World War I to ‘cabinet scandals that make Watergate look like Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood’ and the disruption of numerous established practices during the second administration of President Donald Trump.
