The author of Fire and Fury returns with a new book recounting the last hurrah of the Trump administration, following the President's and his cronies' downward spiral into COVID-19 denialism, outrage about the Black Lives Matter uprising and conspiracy theories and resentment about the outcome of the 2020 election that led to the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol building.
What The Reviewers Say
Wolff tells a broad, jumpy, event-laden story about Trump’s shambolic final year.
Wolff’s method is essentially the same as...many other inside stories about highest-level politics: He uses lots of detailed off-the-record interviews with aides to produce a tale told in a third-person omniscient voice, without conventional journalistic attribution.
... a very entertaining book. It is sordid and foul-mouthed, darkly funny, appropriately excoriating of its main subject, and entirely addictive, and in that sense, it is a very good book.
If Donald Trump seems like a distant, bad dream, Michael Wolff’s pacily readable account of his last months as president warns that we shouldn’t write him off yet.
