THE INSIDE STORY ON PRESIDENT TRUMP, AS ONLY BOB WOODWARD CAN TELL IT

With authoritative reporting honed through nine presidencies, author Bob Woodward reveals in unprecedented detail the harrowing life inside President Donald Trump’s White House and precisely how he makes decisions on major foreign and domestic policies.

Fear is the most intimate portrait of a sitting president ever published during the president’s first years in office. The focus is on the explosive debates and the decision-making in the Oval Office, the Situation Room, Air Force One and the White House residence.

Woodward draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand sources, meeting notes, personal diaries, files and documents. Often with day-by-day details, dialogue and documentation, Fear tracks key foreign issues from North Korea, Afghanistan, Iran, the Middle East, NATO, China and Russia. It reports in-depth on Trump’s key domestic issues particularly trade and tariff disputes, immigration, tax legislation, the Paris Climate Accord and the racial violence in Charlottesville in 2017.

Fear presents vivid details of the negotiations between Trump’s attorneys and Robert Mueller, the special counsel in the Russia investigation, laying out for the first time the meeting-by-meeting discussions and strategies. It discloses how senior Trump White House officials joined together to steal draft orders from the president’s Oval Office desk so he would not issue directives that would jeopardize top secret intelligence operations.

“It was no less than an administrative coup d’état,” Woodward writes, “a nervous breakdown of the executive power of the most powerful county in the world.”

" I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS BOOK. 97 PERCENT OF THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDED WAS IN THE NEWS PAPER, EXTENSIVE COVERAGE ON MAJOR NEWS TV, NET WORK CHANNELS, OR GENERAL INFORMATION ON ALL THE TALK SHOW. FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS A NET WORK OF PEOPLE MUST BE IMMEASURABLE. YOU SURE FELL SHORT. AFTER READING YOUR BOOK. I DID NOT READ OR LEARN ANYTHING NEW. IF I JUST CAME OUT OF CAVE OR WAS RIP VAN WINKLE I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED AND YOU WOULD BE RIGHT ON THE MONEY. EVERYTHING YOU WROTE ABOUT I BELIEVE TO BE TRUE AND ACCURATE. I DO NOT LIKE TRUMP OR ANYTHING HE REPRESENT. I DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM BUT HE IS MY PRESIDENT AND EVERYTHING THAT THIS OFFICE STAND FOR I WILL HONOR. I AM RETIRE USAF AND SERVCE 4 YEAR IN THE VIETNAM WAR FROM 1966 TO 1969 THAT SHOULD TELL YOU WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE MAN AND THE FIVE-TIME DRAFT DODGE DONALD TRUMP. HIS DISRESPECTED TO THE MILITARY, OUR GENERAL AND MY HERO JOHN MCCAIN IS SOMETHING NO AMERICAN WOULD DO OR THINK. "

Quotes

  • “A devastating reported account of the Trump Presidency that will be consulted as a first draft of the grim history it portrays…What Woodward has written is not just the story of a deeply flawed President but also, finally, an account of what those surrounding him have chosen to do about it.”

    — New Yorker

  • “In an age of ‘alternative facts’ and corrosive tweets about ‘fake news,’ Woodward is truth’s gold standard…Explosive… devastating…jaw-dropping.”

    — Washington Post

  • “A damning picture of the current presidency.”

    — CBS News

  • “An unprecedented inside-the-room look through the eyes of the President’s inner circle…Stunning.”

    — CNN

  • “Woodward’s latest book shows the administration is broken, and yet what comes next could be even worse.”

    — Atlantic

  • “Senior officials, acting as lone wolves concerned with preserving their own reputations, spoke to Woodward on their own—with some granting him hours of their time out of a fear of being the last person in the room to offer his or her viewpoint.’”

    — Politico

  • “Kornacki holds nothing back about how the 1990s have come to define our nation’s current partisan politics…The Red and the Blue is a perfect primer on how we can learn from our past if we want to make a better future for ourselves.”

    " This is an excellent book even if you like Trump. Well researched and documented, although it is hard to believe that Trump agreed to meet Woodward for this book, I suppose he fell victim to his own vanity. The story is compelling, detailed, and totally believable. It is a also scary to see what is going on at the White House and the danger that we live in. "
