About this listen
THE OBSERVER BOOK OF THE YEAR
‘Fear is a meticulously researched account of a White House and a president in financial, legal and personal disorder . . . essential reading’ Daily Mail
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.

Volume 37 of 80 in the future chronicles of the Trump presidency
Not as sensational as I imagined, and almost laboriously detailed. Covers a fairly specific range of interactions and while interesting to political tragics like me, isn't necessarily relevant to the larger story of executive politics right now as it happens. Even as we speak, greater scandals are superseding what is written here.
A points of difference with other Trump tell-all books is the insight into Comey's actions. It isn't necessarily the same as one gets from the news or satirical news (both liberal or conservative).
I imagine this will be a valuable contribution to someone's magnum opus when the Trump era has been and gone, as well as to the history of the USA's democracy, but this is not that opus.

Yep. Read my review!
Extraordinarily good. Even without presidential collaboration, journalistic integrity combined with other external reviews make this authoritative.

Wow!
If the narrative is true, then it's a very apt title. It instilled me with "Fear"

This gives you the measure of President Trump
A very concerning account of the modus operandi of President Trump. Let us hope that he is never left unsupervised by the law.
Thank you Bob Woodward.

Trump, intelligence & emotional maturity of a 12yo

Outstanding
Bob Woodward has brought together the complex mix of personalities and politics in this documented history of the Trump presidency. Woodward's insights into the complexities of Trumps personality, his thinking and sudden changes of position make this a fascinating book. Expertly narrated by Robert Petkoff
