In the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, news spread about Project 2025, a nearly 1000-page document published by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation. The debates, and anxiety, surrounding this initiative have only increased as authors of the Project assume positions of power in the second Trump administration. So, what is Project 2025, exactly? Who wrote it, what does it actually say, and what does it mean for everyday people around the world, across the political spectrum, in the years to come? In this book, David A. Graham offers much-needed context and distills the essential elements of this sprawling document.
