Description

The transition from President Donald J. Trump to President Joseph R. Biden Jr. stands as one of the most dangerous periods in American history.

But as #1 internationally bestselling author Bob Woodward and acclaimed reporter Robert Costa reveal for the first time, it was far more than just a domestic political crisis. Woodward and Costa interviewed more than 200 people at the center of the turmoil, resulting in more than 6,000 pages of transcripts—and a spellbinding and definitive portrait of a nation on the brink.

This classic study of Washington takes readers deep inside the Trump White House, the Biden White House, the 2020 campaign, and the Pentagon and Congress, with eyewitness accounts of what really happened. Intimate scenes are supplemented with never-before-seen material from secret orders, transcripts of confidential calls, diaries, emails, meeting notes and other personal and government records, making Peril an unparalleled history. It is also the first inside look at Biden’s presidency as he began his presidency facing the challenges of a lifetime: the continuing deadly pandemic and millions of Americans facing soul-crushing economic pain, all the while navigating a bitter and disabling partisan divide, a world rife with threats, and the hovering, dark shadow of the former president.

Reviews

  • Excellent behind-the-scenes, as always

    Woodward and Co. do it again! So much behind-the-scene access and information to fill-in-the-blanks. Tells a great narrative while keeping the story moving. Does not mix words. Absolutely worth the read.
  • Another gem

    Fascinating look behind the scenes of conniving men who only cared about themselves. Not one of the Republicans cared about democracy

    Appears very fair to all sides. Confirms my fears that this great country is headed to the dark side unless we can find competent leaders to guide us forward.
  • Hack

    Woodward is a political hack. Terrible book.

    the book is not fantastic, but it does shed some new light on the unhinged Cheeto in Chief. All the one star reviews are surprising, as I was unaware Trump voters could read or write.
  • Good Read

    By just let me to see my stuff
    This book by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa really kept me interested and wanting to read more. The details of how things took place during the election and transition from Trump and Biden Administrations kept spelled bound a keep on reading all night. Just like the last books that the two Woodward and Costa wrote. Kevin
