‍A New York Times bestseller.

In The Fix, McQuade draws on her decades of experience as a federal prosecutor 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

"Nice book you got here, McQuade . . . be a shame if anything happened to it.The Fix is in. Barbara McQuade exposes Donald Trump's gangsterism and mastery of corruption and cruelty. More importantly, McQuade gives us the tools to take power back from this weak strongman and put it where it belongs—with we, the people. And we, the people need to act. Now.” —Robert De Niro
