Shameless

by BRIAN TYLER COHEN (HARPER, 2024)

“Brian Tyler Cohen is a compelling, insightful and important voice in progressive media. In Shameless, he skillfully chronicles Republicans’ decades-long descent into a politics of dysfunction, disinformation and personal destruction. Offering hope, he also shares how each of us can participate in bringing our divided nation back together. A must-read for all those who know that in our fight to save American democracy, we don’t agonize — we organize to bring people together!” 

— Speaker Nancy Pelosi

“Brian gets billions of views and interviews with presidents for a reason: he’s clear-eyed about the threat to democracy, creative in his approach to fighting back, and the kind of joyful warrior the progressive movement needs right now. This is a book with valuable lessons about what each of us can do to break through the noise of the right-wing media machine.” 

— Jon Favreau

“Shameless makes clear why Brian Tyler Cohen is a rising star of the Left. In his distinctive, accessible style, he exposes the Big Lie of the Republican brand, which was built on the embrace of supposed family values, fiscal responsibility and respect for the constitution, when in reality the party has been steeped in ideas that are quite the opposite, and which undermine American democracy.”
