“A gripping ground-level narrative…a marvel of reporting: tightly wound… but also panoramic.” (Washington Post)

“A lean, fast-paced and important account of the chaotic final weeks.” (New York Times)

In The Steal, veteran journalists Mark Bowden and Matthew Teague offer a week-by week, state-by-state account of the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. In the 64 days between November 3 and January 6, President Donald Trump and his allies fought to reverse the outcome of the vote. Focusing on six states—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—Trump’s supporters claimed widespread voter fraud.

The Steal is an engaging, in-depth report on what happened during those crucial nine weeks and a portrait of the dedicated individuals who did their duty and stood firm against the unprecedented, sustained attack on our election system and ensured that every legal vote was counted and that the will of the people prevailed.

In this revised version of the The Steal, Mark Bowden distills the full January 6th Committee Report from its original 300,000 words to a brisk and illuminating few pages. Teague and Bowden have also added a preface, an afterword, and updates throughout the text to include new findings from the January 6th Committee Report and Trump's ongoing attempts at regaining popularity and running for office in 2024.
