What The Reviewers Say

RON ELVING,
NPR
... the latest in what has become a procession of books about the Trump presidency, but there are reasons to think it arrives right on time.
David Greenberg,
The New York Times Book Review
... detail-rich.
Lloyd Green,
The Guardian (UK)
... meticulously researched and beautifully written. Those who were in and around the West Wing talk and share documents. Baker and Glasser lay out receipts. They conducted more than 300 interviews. They met Trump at Mar-a-Lago..
Jacob S. Hacker,
The Washington Post
... exquisitely timed. A well-paced and engagingly written narrative, The Divider shows off the best of big-resource journalism in the Trump era. Yet it also makes vivid some of the shortcomings of the industry that Trump repeatedly exploited.
