From the acclaimed author of the New York Times bestseller, Naomi Wolf, comes a searing and deeply personal account of the wrongthink, deplatforming, and unexpected political, personal, and spiritual transformation that unfolded during one of the most divisive times in American history. In this uncompromising exploration of the most pressing issues of our time, Wolf employs her own highly politicized journey—from a prominent New York Times bestselling author and high-level Democratic consultant to a journalist exiled from the elite political and social circles she once inhabited—as a captivating narrative framework that is both chilling and incisive. Wolf's "sin," as she sees it, is daring to do the job that good journalists once held in high esteem: asking questions, challenging authority, and, during one of the most politically charged periods in modern history, exposing the myriad failures of the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic by chronicling the perilous descent of our democracy into tyranny, censorship, and totalitarianism. Unable to remain silent in the shadows and unwilling to align with the mainstream, Wolf courageously delves into topics that few other writers dare to address critically, fearing the consequences of deplatforming. Facing the Beast delves into critical topics such as reproductive rights, medical freedom, the uncritical thought policing of the "progressive" left, the Second Amendment, and the criminal relationship between the FDA and Pfizer. Wolf's clear writing repeatedly illuminates the dark corners of our fractured society. A lifelong advocate for free speech, freedom of the press, and the Constitution, Wolf found herself not only in the midst of a political resurgence but also a profound spiritual transformation—one in which the events of the day could only be described in terms of good, evil, and a metaphysical quest for meaning.
