Peril

 

Peril by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa (2021) 482 pages

My husband and I waited months for our library request for this book to be fulfilled; there were more than 70 other readers ahead of us. Once it came into our hands, we realized how worth the wait it was. 

Bob Woodward and Robert Costa interviewed 200 people for this work, meticulously crafting it, bringing us into the heads of so many players involved in the 2020 Presidential election and its aftermath. The events of the book include the horrific events on January 6th, 2021, and continue to Joe Biden's Inauguration and well into the months that follow.

The chapters draw one in quickly and the pages fly by. The most important takeaway, in my mind, is the fragility of our democracy when put into the hands of those who don't treasure it.
