Publisher's Summary
The Sunday Times number one best seller.
The Observer book of the year.
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 first-hand 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.

Well researched, but Trump is a boring topic.
I fought my way through 2/3 of the book but even Woodward’s research and writing couldn’t make an ignorant president’s inane comments and actions that interesting. Wouldn’t recommend.

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.
