Pre-order your copy today: static.macmillan.com/static/smp/h...
My book "How to Eat an Elephant" hits shelves Sept. 8 but it's available for pre-order starting today.
At its core, this book is about communications, persuasion, voters, and how to save America from the toxic forces Trump has unleashed on our politics.
