The White House staffer who wrote an anonymous opinion piece for the New York Times last year, in which he declared himself to be “part of the resistance,” is publishing a book, according to Rachel Deahl of Publishers Weekly…
The still-unnamed author’s A Warning was acquired by Twelve’s Sean Desmond who bought world English rights plus translation rights to France and Spain. The book will be released November 19.
The op-ed, titled “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration,” became one of the earlier talking points of the Trump presidency, as the author described working in a job where his goal was to limit, and at times thwart, his boss. The author proclaimed himself among a cohort of administration staffers “working diligently from within to frustrate parts of [President Trump’s] agenda and his worst inclinations.”
Twelve described the book as “an unprecedented behind-the-scenes portrait of the Trump presidency” that “offers a shocking, first-hand account of President Trump and his record.” The publisher also confirmed that the author’s identity will remain a secret and that the nameless scribe will not be earning any money from the book. Twelve explained that “Anonymous did not take an advance to write A Warning” and any royalties the book brings in will be donated to nonprofits that focus on government accountability.
