Summer bestseller lists included Trump-related works like “I Alone Can Fix It”) and ABC News correspondent Jon Karl (“Betrayal”).

Former national security officer Fiona Hill, a key witness during Trump’s first impeachment trial for pressuring Ukraine leaders to investigate then-candidate Joe Biden, tells her story in Nothing Here. Chris Christie’s “Republican Rescue” from the former New Jersey governor is an attack on his party’s conspiracy theories, including the fact that Trump’s election was stolen.
