NAFUSA Board member Barbara McQuade has written a new book, Attack from
Within, about the impact of disinformation on America, The book is set to be
released on February 24, 2024. According to pre-publishing information, Ms.
McQuade writes that America is under attack and the weapon is misinformation.
Her book explores how authoritarians throughout history have manipulated the
truth to advance their own agendas and how disinformation is impacting our
democracy.

Ms. McQuade, currently a Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law
School, her alma mater, was the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of
Michigan from 2010 to 2017, the first woman to hold that position. She currently
sits on the NAFUSA Board of Directors as a member of the class of 2025. In
addition to being a law professor, she is also a legal analyst for NBC and MSNBC.

Attack from Within is Ms. McQuade’s first book and has already received glowing
reviews. Former U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr. described her book as
“…a compelling work about a challenge that–left unexamined and left
unchecked—could undermine our democracy.”
