Rage by Bob Woodward (2020) 452 pages
Bob Woodward's latest book delves deeply into Donald Trump's administration and Cabinet. He gained his information via seventeen on-the-record interviews with Trump, and extensive interviews with those around Trump. I learned much more about those who worked in Trump's administration, like Jim Mattis, Rex Tillerson, Dan Coats, and Jared Kushner. We learn much about Trump's relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jon Un.
The book starts its journey at the time Trump was choosing his Cabinet, in November 2016, and leaves off in late July 2020, as the coronavirus still raged. The book is well-documented, with extensive footnoting and index. Most fascinating to me, in a kind of "craning to see the accident at the side of the road" way, were the texts of the discussions between Woodward and Trump.
