Part memoir and part reportage, After the Fall is a hugely ambitious and essential work of discovery. Along the way, a Russian opposition leader he spoke with was poisoned, the Hong Kong protesters he came to know saw their movement snuffed out, and America itself reached the precipice of losing democracy before giving itself a second chance. Over the next three years, he traveled to dozens of countries, meeting with politicians, activists, and dissidents confronting the same nationalism and authoritarianism that was tearing America apart. To understand what was happening in America, Rhodes decided to look outward. In 2017, as Ben Rhodes was helping Barack Obama begin his next chapter, the legacy they had worked to build for eight years was being taken apart. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.Why is democracy so threatened in America and around the world? And what can we do about it? A former White House aide and close confidant to President Barack Obama-and the New York Times bestselling author of The World as It Is-travels the globe in a deeply personal, beautifully observed quest for answers. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places.
