Austin Whitman

PolitEGO Austin Whitman

The U. S. Constitution says the country's vice president and cabinet can declare the president unfit to discharge the powers and duties of his office. It's an extreme measure that's never been used before--and Nolan Doldrums just might force this historical move.

Nolan Doldrums. A boastful, egotistical oil magnate, political novice...and newly elected president of the United States. This narcissistic bully has set the country on a fiery path: fights about race relations, immigration, battles with the press and other constitutional fights are raising tensions that are fracturing the country and tearing apart both the Doldrums' administration and his own party.

PolitEGO: A Narrative on Political Egotism, the Politics of Narcissism, Character Assassination and Egocentrism, and the Decay of Democracy is fiction, yet it is also a social and political commentary. Written by Austin Whitman, who has worked in state government and in Washington, DC, PolitEGO is the terrifying, yet, timely narrative of how a Machiavellian leader can bring the U. S. to the brink of war, civil conflict, and economic crisis.
