NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Governor Andrew Cuomo tells the riveting story of how he took charge in the fight against COVID-19 as New York became the epicenter of the pandemic, offering hard-won lessons in leadership and his vision for the path forward. “An impressive road map to dealing with a crisis as serious as any we have faced.”— The Washington Post When COVID-19 besieged the United States, New York State emerged as the global “ground zero” for a deadly contagion that threatened the lives and livelihoods of millions. Quickly, Governor Andrew Cuomo provided the leadership to address the threat, becoming the standard-bearer of the organized response the country desperately needed. With infection rates spiking and more people dying every day, the systems and functions necessary to combat the pandemic in New York—and America—did not exist. So Cuomo undertook the impossible. He unified people to rise to the challenge and was relentless in his pursuit of scientific facts and data. He quelled fear while implementing an extraordinary plan for flattening the curve of infection. He and his team worked day and night to protect the people of New York, despite roadblocks presented by a president incapable of leadership and addicted to transactional politics. Taking readers beyond the candid daily briefings that became must-see TV across the globe, and providing a dramatic, day-by-day account of the catastrophe as it unfolded, American Crisis presents the intimate and inspiring thoughts of a leader at an unprecedented historical moment. In his own voice, Andrew Cuomo chronicles the ingenuity and sacrifice required of so many to fight the pandemic, sharing the decision-making that shaped his policy as well as his frank accounting and assessment of his interactions with the federal government, the White House, and other state and local political and health officials. Real leadership, he shows, requires clear communication, compassion for others, and a commitment to truth-telling—no matter how frightening the facts may be. Including a game plan for what we as individuals—and as a nation—need to do to protect ourselves against this disaster and those to come, American Crisis is a remarkable portrait of selfless leadership and a gritty story of difficult choices that points the way to a safer future for all of us.

>Won’t take responsibility

I think the opposite has happened. The guy thinks he’s a hero; he already wrote a book American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the Covid-19 Pandemic we live in a clown world.

He's closing down restaurants. And during the pandemic a couple months ago he started profiting from it by writing a book praising himself for how he handled it. https://www.amazon.com/American-Crisis-Leadership-COVID-19-Pandemic/dp/0593239261

Imagine writing a book on leadership though a pandemic (where did he find the time???) when you had the absolute worst outcomes during the pandemic compared to every other state in America. Over 33k deaths... This guy had time to write you all a book about managing a crisis, during the middle of the crisis... WTF is going on? Cuomo sent seniors into LTC homes to infect more seniors and that killed thousands.

If you want to buy a copy you can find it here as I'm not shittin you this is an actual book.

They fudged Cuomo from incompetent boob to "Man so smart he can credibly write a book about his awesome corona leadership."

If they wanted to they could have pretended Trump was a genius and people would have thought that. His boobery is only like 75% as obvious as Cuomo's

maybe we just need to read about the "remarkable portrait of selfless leadership" in his "riveting story of how he took charge in the fight against COVID-19" (which he apparently had spare time to write)

He also wrote a book about how adeptly he handled the crisis. His arrogance is absolutely stunning.

SO long story short, He failed! He did a terrible job and everyone loves him for it and is giving him award. All of MSM and Dems hate Trump and they use our COVID numbers to prove how bad he was right? US cases are the highest in the world, US deaths highest in the world, etc etc he failed as a leader right?

Well the very same could be said exactly for Cuomo! To this day his state has the highest death count AND the highest death per 100,000. His numbers were absolutely terrible. Under him NY had the outbreak from hell and his only answer was a full and never ending shut down that destroyed the cities economy. Now this was genuinely unprecedented so he can't be blamed too much for his mediocre response. HOWEVER

2 things make me dislike Cuomo, 1) He is petty man. He was used by MSM as the knight in shinning armor to be the prime example of what Trump is not. They wanted to paint a picture of how bad Trump did by offering this 'mature adult leader.' But he often would lash out at reporters that dared to question his decisions, policy, or ask him for details he didn't have. He also constantly squabbled with de Blasio, because Cuomo is a deep centrist moderate BARELY earning a D and de Blasio is pretty far left. The two couldn't see eye to eye on a lot and it resulted in less than stellar recovery policy for NYC which is still boned. He also squabbled a lot with Trump, which MSM loved.

The second reason is Cuomo is a pompous ass. Since the start of COVID he has received an international Emmy award, written and promoted a new book about how he handled COVID, created and sold a mission accomplish poster, and is currently being considered for Time Magazine's "Person of the Year." He has taken the fame, the glorification, the calling for President in stride all while his state continues to suffer extravagantly. Literally writing a book about how great he did defeating COVID while COVID and economic issues continue in the state! He released his mission accomplished type poster on July 13TH!! At the time of the book release NY still had the highest death and cases count of any state/providence world wide. (It has now dropped to 5th, good job Texas and Florida). Its absolutely ridiculous when you realize how much better some other states have done and how no one talks about their governors and the success.

Fundamentally Cuomo is praised and beloved now SOLELY because he is the Governor of NY and all the Press/MSM is based in NY, so as New Yorkers those people had either de Blasio, Trump, or Cuomo to look to for hope, and despite his mediocrity & failures Cuomo was the best option. But at the end of the day he was basically a Youtuber, making daily videos and a couple merch products and promoting all three things while he was supposed to be saving his state!

A loooot of people have been screaming at the top of their lungs how COVID is that other guy's fault, in hopes that you won't look at their records too hard.

Governor Cuomo somehow managed to find the time to write an entire book about his wonderful leadership during this difficult time, or to have one ghostwritten at least. He's got to be hoping that nobody notices that he presided over the highest death rate on the planet.
