Baron, who retired Sunday, expected to manage a newspaper during hard times. Instead, he found unimagined opportunities and challenge. And here is The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election: . . . based on access to the group’s inner workings, never-before-seen documents and interviews with dozens of those involved from across the political spectrum, it is the story of an unprecedented, creative and determined campaign whose success also reveals how close the nation came to disaster. “Every attempt to interfere with the proper outcome of the election was defeated,” says Ian Bassin, co-founder of Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan rule-of-law advocacy group. “But it’s massively important for the country to understand that it didn’t happen accidentally.
