In 2010, D’Souza wrote The Roots of Obama’s Rage (Regnery), which was described as the most influential political book of the year and proved to be yet another bestseller. In 2012, D’Souza published two books, Godforsaken and Obama’s Amer- ica: Unmaking the American Dream, the latter climbing to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and inspiring a documentary on the same topic. The film, called 2016: Obama’s America, has risen to the second- highest all-time political documentary, passing Michael Moore’s Sicko and Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. In addition, 2016 has risen to #4 on the bestselling list of all documentaries.

He has appeared on numerous television programs, including The Today Show, Nightline, The News Hour on PBS, The O’Reilly Factor, Money- hOW TO WriTE yOUr AUThOr BiO (AND Why iT MATTErS) · 265
