Almost halfway through yet another remarkable insight into the inner workings of the US government by Bob Woodward.

Although full of reports and detailed accounts of events, Bob Woodward always employs his great skill as a journalist in writing about events in such a way as to make them eminently readable.

Looking forward to November when I’ll have time to relax and read the latest Bob Woodward.

Fear: Trump in the White House
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.”
