Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Her Mysterious Rise from Bartender to Congresswoman

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or “AOC” as she has dubbed herself, has taken the political scene by storm. More celebrity than advocate for serious policies, Ocasio-Cortez nonetheless wields outsized influence over the news cycle due to her adept use of media, her brash attitude, and of course, her attractive appearance. But what lies underneath the shiny exterior? “AOC” is mostly a mystery, as Peter D’Abrosca found while chronicling her life and rise—from growing up in the suburbs of New York City, to her peculiar postgrad life as an entrepreneur, through her election to Congress and thereafter. This book offers never-before-published content and exclusive interviews, revealing new information on the life and times of America’s newest political phenomenon: a millennial socialist bent on imposing a radical and dangerous agenda.
