About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An urgent, topic-by-topic guide to Project 2025, with everything you need to know about how the second Trump administration is remaking America—from a go-to authority at The Atlantic
When President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, news spread about his implementation of Project 2025, a nearly 1,000-page document published by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation. The debates—and anxiety—surrounding this initiative have only increased as authors of the Project assume positions of power in the second Trump administration.
So, what is Project 2025, exactly? Who wrote it, and what does it mean for everyday Americans, across the political spectrum, now and in the years to come?
In The Project, award-winning journalist David A. Graham offers much-needed context and distills the essential elements of this sprawling document. Breaking down the Project’s strategy for transforming—and radically empowering—the executive branch, Graham then explains what the architects behind Project 2025 are doing with that power: enforcing traditional gender norms, decimating the civil service, performing mass deportations, reducing corporate regulation and worker protections, and more.
Project 2025 is the intellectual blueprint for the new administration, Graham argues, and its tenets should not be legible only to policy wonks. Authoritative yet highly accessible, The Project demystifies it for those whose lives it will affect most.

Very informative and a good summary of what Project 2025 is about and what we are seeing in politics today. Scary stuff for sure, especially since we are seeing it play out in real time. My only criticism of the book is that I wanted it to dive deeper on various topics such as education and home and foreign policy but this book is not that book, If you want something that outlines project 2025 in a simple and coherent way, then I highly recommend this book.

Good insight on what the Trump administration is trying to achieve. It answers a lot of the questions brought on by policies/executive actions the president has signed. The right does have a plan, and they are using President Trump to enact it. That plan is Project 2025.
