'I think you’ve always been fair.' — President Donald J. Trump, in a call to Bob Woodward, August 14, 2018

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

With authoritative reporting honed through eight presidencies from Nixon to Obama, 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. Woodward draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand sources, meeting notes, personal diaries, files and documents. 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.

Fear is the most intimate portrait of a sitting president ever published during the president’s first years in office.

'Woodward’s meticulous account of office intrigues, the president’s men don’t seem to be trembling with fright.  What they mostly feel is contempt for Trump or pity for his ignorance and the “teenage logic” of his obsessively vented grievances.' - The Observer

'Horribly fascinating. Strongly recommended. If you can bear it.' Richard Dawkins

'He is the master and I'd trust him over politicians of either party any day of the week.' —Peter Baker, New York Times
 
'His work has been factually unassailable . . . In an age of ‘alternative facts’ and corrosive tweets about ‘fake news,’ Woodward is truth’s gold standard.' - Jill Abramson, The Washington Post

'Fear depicts a White House awash in dysfunction, where the Lord of the Flies is the closest thing to an owner's manual.' The Guardian

'I’ve been on the receiving end of a Bob Woodward book. There were quotes in it I didn’t like. But never once—never—did I think Woodward made it up. Anonymous sources have looser lips and may take liberties. But Woodward always plays is straight. Someone told it to him.' — Ari Fleisher, White House Press Secretary for George W. Bush

A compelling 'listen', if not extremely disconcerting at quite how Trump is systematically destroying the US' standing in the world. I'm not American, but am - alike everyone else - affected by how and what they do 'for' & 'to' the rotw. I couldn't stand Bush (either of them, including Jeb) and could not fathom how GW was re-elected for a second term. To me, he was as disastrous as Reagan. Surely there could be no worse an administration? Then along came Trump. As stated in Fire & Fury, the Trump calamity was straight out of The Producers playbook. Yes, this is obviously not a pro' Trump book. And occasionally the narrator cannot help himself but speak using tones of condescension and disbelief. That may not be strictly professional, but personally, I feel those tones are deserved. The book is, as you would expect from such a luminary as Woodward, well written and to update an old phrase, hard to click pause on. Thoroughly recommended and worth whatever you paid for it.
