American Crisis

by Andrew Cuomo

"Governor Andrew Cuomo tells the riveting story of how he took charge in the fight against COVID-19 as New York became the epicenter of the pandemic, offering hard-won lessons in leadership and his vision for the path forward."-- When COVID-19 besieged the United States, New York State emerged as the global "ground zero" for a deadly contagion that threatened the lives and livelihoods of millions. Governor Andrew Cuomo provided the leadership to address the threat, becoming the standard-bearer of the organized response the country desperately needed. Taking readers beyond the candid daily briefings that became must-see TV across the globe, and providing a dramatic, day-by-day account of the catastrophe as it unfolded, American Crisis presents the intimate and inspiring thoughts of a leader at an unprecedented historical moment. Governor Cuomo chronicles the ingenuity and sacrifice required of so many to fight the pandemic, sharing a behind-the-scenes account of the decision-making that shaped his policy as well as his frank assessment of his interactions with President Trump and other federal, state, and health officials.
