About this listen

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.

Waiting for Part 2: Loathing

Bob Woodward is a privilege to read. His consummate attention to detail and his ability to pull it altogether into a story is a credit to his profession. This is the opposite of "fake news".
I really hope he is working on Part 2: Loathing: Trump in the White House.

So Sick of Trump

Great reporting by Woodward but I am sick to the back teeth of this president. He's as terrible as everyone says and this book just confirms it. If there is any justice, this man will end up in prison where he belongs.

An unbiased and informative overview

Great book with a lot of incredible information. Bob Woodward offers this information in a straightforward and unbiased manner, and his interviews and the amount of information he offers is truly amazing.

Excellent new perspective

While this book has a lot in common with Fiee and Fury and Trumpocracy, I really liked the way that this book takes you inside individual meetings and conversations in the White House and shows the decision making process (??) that seems to exist there --in a way it is much as I would have expected, but very exciting and interesting to get brought into the meetings and discussions that are happening and watching how decisions get made in this crazy White House. a very worthwhile though somewhat frightening read.

A balanced descript'n offeri'g some'g for everyone

While offering an in depth look at what the people surrounding Trump are willing to say, the reader needs to read between the lines and keep asking the tough questions.

Great job by Woodward.

Unfinished symphony

Very well written. Much detail. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. Robert Petkoff is a wonderful narrator. Mr Woodward a true master. I think he should continue to delve into the dark business and keep "reporting" on the Trump White House until Trump is finished. I find myself clamouring for more and poufff it's all finished. Please Mr. Woodward, more please?
I am looking forward to reading more of his books.

Couldn't stop listening

From the first word spoken I listened to this book which tells a story of a dysfunctional White House which we all thought was happening but had no proof - thank you Bob Woodward for writing it and thank you #Audible1 for making it available immediately - well worth the time and money!

worth the read

Not all the way through but quite riveting. Have to shake my head and remember sometimes that I'm not listening to fiction. #Audible1
