An explosive insider story of the biggest mistakes in US history and how to put them right - from the man who saw America's wrong moves up close, White House insider turned host of the hit podcast, The Rest is Politics: US The explosive story of the biggest mistakes in history and how to put them right - from the man who saw America's wrong moves up close, White House insider turned host of the hit podcast, The Rest is Politics: US We're living in an age of deep political anger and frustration. Where did it come from, and how do we get out? Anthony Scaramucci's electrifying answer - rooted in history, business, and first-hand experience - reveals the true origins of America's current crisis, charting how both political parties made a series of catastrophic decisions that dismantled a postwar period of unprecedented stability and prosperity. Each decision deepened inequality, corroded trust, and fueled the anger that empowered Donald Trump's rise and his assault on democracy. The story Scaramucci tells is 'money-point-of-view history': it gallops from Wall St to Main St, from the boardroom to the Situation Room. A product of the working class who rose to the heights of finance and power, he has witnessed first-hand how money and ambition have always lived in tension with ideals. And he brings a rare skin-in-the game perspective to showing how both parties failed the people they once represented. It will take courage and tough action but in All The Wrong Moves he sets up the challenge to cut through partisanship and embrace some right ones. All the Wrong Moves is not about right and left. It's about right and wrong. It is a portrait of America which has the clarity of an X-ray and is a blistering display of storytelling and analysis.

Reviews

Challenging, surprising and always engaging. This is the Mooch at his most thoughtful and wise -- Emily Maitlis
Anthony Scaramucci brings to his superb book the same verve, wit and intelligent analysis that we hear each week on The Rest is Politics US. This is essential reading for anyone trying to make sense of the mess the world is in -- Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart, The Rest is Politics
Insightful, funny, fascinating and unsparing – Anthony's book is deliciously like Anthony. When is he EVER not totally compelling? -- Marina Hyde
Thoughtful, witty and always provocative, this is a wonderfully insightful reflection on the Trump phenomenon. Scaramucci takes the long view, looking back into American history for the roots of Trumpism, and identifies three crucial moments that shaped the political landscape of the 2020s. From the embrace of globalization and the rise of China to the invasion of Iraq and the Wall Street bailouts, this is an essential guide to what’s gone wrong with America. It’s an irresistibly engaging, lively and clever read – just as you’d expect from such a gifted communicator -- Dominic Sandbrook
Anthony Scaramucci has the rare talent of offering important political and market insights while also being blisteringly funny. All the Wrong Moves is thought-provoking and fun -- Robert Peston
All the Wrong Moves is a profound, compelling and deeply thought-provoking book. Drawing on the past centuries of America’s rich history, this is a story filled with razor-sharp analysis, wisdom and pragmatic common sense. Authoritative, incisive, often disturbing, but ultimately offering a path for redemption – it needs to be read by as wide an audience as possible -- James Holland, author of Normandy '44
The Mooch is just so annoying: as a storyteller, he makes the rest of us feel drab -- Jon Sopel
The maddeningly brilliant Mooch is impossible to ignore -- Jane Garvey
