About This Book
From top journalists and bestselling authors of The Man Who Ran Washington, the first history and assessment of the full Trump presidency, based on unprecedented access to key players, including the man himself Revered journalists Peter Baker of the New York Times and Susan Glasser of The New Yorker tell the inside story of the four years when Donald Trump went to war with Washington and the institutions of American democracy, from its chaotic beginning to its violent finale. While other books have looked at parts of the Trump era, this is the only history of the entire disruptive Trump presidency, recounting not just what happened during his dramatic final days in office but the four years that led up to them. Trump was an X-ray for America's soul, and Baker and Glasser reveal the behind-closed-doors moments of a president who defied all norms and the moral struggles of those who worked with and for him. Their book is based on unprecedented access to key players from President Trump himself to Cabinet officers, military generals, close advisers, Trump family members, congressional leaders, foreign officials and others, some of whom have never told their story until now.

Reviews
"as this book is, let's hope Baker and Glasser won't be writing a sequel."
"A scorched-earth account of an utterly failed presidency."
"The more one reads, the more one wishes to read ..."
"Those who were in and around the West Wing talk and share documents."
"With so many books about Donald Trump on the shelves and still more in the pipeline, how does a new one distinguish itself?"
"Baker and Glasser, enriching their own reporting with the juiciest material from the slew of books about the Trump presidency, fashion a coherent narrative out of the chaos, offering lucid and insightful accounts of the Muslim travel ban, talks with North Korea's Kim Jong-un, the Mueller investigation, Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings, both impeachment trials, and more."
