It is 2030, and America is on the brink. In the face of an ever-more-perilous environmental crisis and ever-more-tenuous global tensions, President Herbert Chase Hastings is stoking the fires of unrest as no American leader ever has before. His alignment with militias and religious extremists, his intolerance for diversity and science, and his ties to dangerous regimes and unscrupulous businesses have made him the champion of a bold, vocal, and deadly minority. Meanwhile, the remainder of America – and much of the world – either raises its voice in protest or quakes in fear.


Journalist Jay Patterson has been following Hastings since before his election, and he knows the risks the president poses better than most. And when a secret source starts feeding Jay information that suggests that the country is in even greater peril, he chooses to risk everything to act. But even Jay has underestimated the reach of America's chief executive . . . and it may be too late for anyone to stop what Hastings has set into motion.


Written with the perspective only available to a true Washington insider, AMERICAN COUP is a political thriller unlike any other. It sheds light on what really happens behind the scenes at the highest levels of government, illuminates the forces at work all across the American landscape, and tells an edge-of-your-seat story that will leave you breathless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exposure of crooked politicians

I liked the plot, a thriller about corrupt politicians; I also thought the characters were well described and showed insight into present day politicians.

4.0 out of 5 stars A real-life Congressman imagines revolution. A good try.
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2023
Verified Purchase
Interesting perspective but for me, a tad much sentimental re Constitutionsal government in the face of major real-life crises: Cleaver son's declining medical condition (for real? I never figured that out) and ongoing Trumpian insanity. Hard to outdo imminent death or fascist revolution. But a brave and good try.

Fiction follows what could have or was partially the truth about the recent history of the USA politics. I was forced to read the book instead of getting a full night sleep. Excellent read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting read
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2021
I really enjoyed this engaging political thriller. It hit a little too close to home, given recent events. But Rep Cleaver did an excellent job weaving big, important questions about our democracy into an exciting story.

1.0 out of 5 stars but why won't you cosponsor GND legislation?
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2021
The hypocrisy is wild! It's extremely disappointing and frustrating to see my congress person writing about the horror of a future overwhelmed with climate disaster but doing NOTHING to prevent this. Just co-sponsor Green New Deal legislation and we can avoid your book's scary future!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very hypocriticcal
Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2021
Love that our Congressman is writing a political thriller on the climate crisis but won't co-sponsor ANY Green New Deal legislation. What a joke.

This book is bad and the congressman should feel bad.
