New Crown Book BLOWOUT

Rachel Maddow Going on Tour to Discuss Her New Crown Book BLOWOUT

Rachel Maddow’s BLOWOUT: Corrupted Democracy, Rogue State Russia, and the Richest, Most Destructive Industry on Earthgoes on sale from Crown on Tuesday, October 1, and on Thursday, October 3, she kicks off a national tour to discuss her new book, beginning with an event that night at the Streicker Center in New York City.

In BLOWOUT, with her trademark black humor, Maddow takes readers on a switchback journey around the globe, revealing the greed and incompetence of Big Oil and Gas along the way, and drawing a surprising conclusion about why the Russian government hacked the 2016 U.S. election. BLOWOUT is a call to contain the wealthiest businesses on earth, to fight for transparency, and to check the influence of the world’s most destructive industry and its enablers. Maddow writes, “Democracy either wins this one or disappears.”

Rachel Maddow is host of the Emmy Award–winning Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, as well as the author of DRIFT: The Unmooring of American Military Power, a #1 New York Timesbestseller. Maddow received a bachelor’s degree in public policy from Stanford University and earned her doctorate in political science at Oxford University.
