In addition to the last essay, the Foreword, Prologue, Introduction, and Epilogue, I've read the following essays:

So far I've found one grammatical error and only one mistake of fact.

Errata

Page 76: "When he represents the American people abroad, his belligerent behavior and disrespect for leaders of our closest allies rips apart the comity and peace-loving pledges built over decades."
  This comes from the essay by Gail Sheehy, Ph.D. It is a number error; the verb should be "rip".
Page 120: "Far beyond his staggering affinity for monstrous tyrants, Trump, since coming to office, has railed against a critical free press; vilified millions of marching protesters as paid professionals; denigrated our federal appeals courts for thwarting his Muslim travel ban as unconstitutional; abruptly fired forty-six state attorneys general; and, shockingly, fired FBI director James Comey for what DT brazenly admitted was Comey's ongoing investigation of potential collusion between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign."
  This comes from Dr. Tansey's essay. The attorneys that were fired were U.S. attorneys. Most presidents fire them on taking office and nominate a new slate. No president has the authority to fire state officials. See Trump Abruptly Orders 46 Obama-Era Prosecutors to Resign (Charlie Savage & Maggie Haberman, 10 March 2017.)
