“This
taut and terrifying book is among the most closely observed accounts of Donald
J. Trump’s shambolic tenure in office to date."
-
Dwight Garner, The New York Times
Washington
Post national investigative reporter Carol Leonnig and White House bureau chief
Philip Rucker, both Pulitzer Prize winners, provide the definitive insider
narrative of Donald Trump's unique presidency with shocking new reporting and
insight into its implications.
“I alone can fix it.” So went
Donald J. Trump’s march to the presidency on July 21, 2016, when he accepted
the Republican presidential nomination in Cleveland, promising to restore what
he described as a fallen nation. Yet over the subsequent years, as he has
undertaken the actual work of the commander in chief, it has been hard to see
beyond the daily chaos of scandal, investigation, and constant bluster. It
would be all too easy to mistake Trump’s first term for one of pure and
uninhibited chaos, but there were patterns to his behavior and that of his
associates. The universal value of the Trump administration is loyalty - not to
the country, but to the president himself - and Trump’s North Star has been the
perpetuation of his own power, even when it meant imperiling our shaky and
mistrustful democracy.
Leonnig and Rucker, with deep
and unmatched sources throughout Washington, D.C., tell of rages and frenzies
but also moments of courage and perseverance. Relying on scores of exclusive
new interviews with some of the most senior members of the Trump administration
and other firsthand witnesses, the authors reveal the forty-fifth president up
close, taking readers inside Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation as well as
the president’s own haphazard but ultimately successful legal defense. Here for
the first time certain officials who have felt honor-bound not to publicly
criticize a sitting president or to divulge what they witnessed in a position
of trust tell the truth for the benefit of history.
This peerless and gripping
narrative reveals President Trump at his most unvarnished and exposes how
decision making in his administration has been driven by a reflexive logic of
self-preservation and self-aggrandizement - but a logic nonetheless. This is the
story of how an unparalleled president has scrambled to survive and tested the
strength of America’s democracy and its common heart as a nation.
