"Swamp Monsters: Trump vs. DeSantis―the Greatest Show on Earth" delves into how Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rose to power under the influence of Donald Trump. It uncovers their conflicts, behind-the-scenes gossip, and Trump's efforts to undermine DeSantis, particularly after January 6, 2021, when Trump's favorability among Republicans plummeted. Despite Trump's association with the "Drain the Swamp" slogan from 2016, the book portrays both Trump and DeSantis as complex figures within the GOP, each exhibiting "swampy" behaviors in their own right. Additionally, it offers deep insights into DeSantis's character and his impact on Florida politics.

For those intrigued by the Trump-DeSantis relationship, "Swamp Monsters" thoroughly examines it, including Trump's perspective on DeSantis. Trump's belief that DeSantis owes him for his success, along with his attempts to hinder DeSantis's ambitions, particularly during his 2024 presidential bid, adds intrigue to the story.

"Swamp Monsters" is a gripping, informative, and enjoyable read, offering a thrilling journey through political maneuvering. It's a must-read for anyone fascinated by the Trump-DeSantis dynamic and American politics. Be prepared for a narrative that transcends typical political tales, providing a fresh perspective on the heart of American politics.

Matt Dixon explains the political war in Florida and the current divide in the Republican Party in Swamp Monsters but I feel as though if pales in comparison with books like American Carnage
