‍In The Fix, McQuade draws on her decades of experience as a federalprosecutor to reveal how systems of organised crime and political opportunism exploit the levers of power – using corruption, cruelty, and chaos as tools to dominate institutions and eliminate accountability. With clarity, precision,and moral force, she exposes the tactics of today’s far-right MAGA system: information warfare, aggressive retribution, conformism enforced by fear, and pervasive dismantling of legal checks and balances necessary to defend the public interest and uphold justice.

Weaving together courtroom stories, real-time political analysis, and cautionary lessons from history and democratic backsliding abroad, McQuade makes the case that the threats we face are not future possibilities – they’re already here. Yet The Fix is not just a warning; it is a call to action. In the book’s final chapters, McQuade outlines common-sense reforms and strategies that can reclaim the rule of law and recentre democracy with thepower of the people.

Accessible, eye-opening, and grounded in constitutional faith, The Fixis essential reading for everyone concerned about the future of America – and ready to work together to take a stand for it.

“Prosecuting organised crime taught Barbara McQuade how to recognize key Trump behaviours. If we want the rule of law, her recommendations are a good place to start.” —Timothy Snyder, author of the New York Times bestseller On Tyranny
