Is America being run by a mob-style regime that uses corruption as a tool of control? In this newly updated paperback edition of her instant bestseller, The Fix, Barbara McQuade says yes, and draws on her experience as a federal prosecutor, lessons from history, and political analysis to show readers when government actors self-deal and break the law.

As a veteran US Attorney, McQuade is all too familiar with cases of corruption. She prosecuted former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and Volkswagen, among many others. In The Fix, she exposes how rampant mob-style tactics are being weaponized to manipulate every facet of American life. With unwavering faith in democracy and America's system of checks and balances, McQuade shows how each corrupt offense, each act of cruelty, is a step toward total authoritarianism.

Yet McQuade offers much more than just an indictment of power. She presents clear strategies that ordinary Americans can utilize---from organizing teach-ins and protests to running for local office---to reclaim the rule of law and ensure that elected officials serve the public's interest, not their own. Updated throughout after the 2026 midterm elections, The Fix is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of America and ready to work together to take it back.
