#1 New York Times Bestseller

With extraordinary access to the West Wing, Michael Wolff reveals what happened behind-the-scenes in the first nine months of the most controversial presidency of our time in Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.

Since Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, the country―and the world―has witnessed a stormy, outrageous, and absolutely mesmerizing presidential term that reflects the volatility and fierceness of the man elected Commander-in-Chief.

This riveting and explosive account of Trump’s administration provides a wealth of new details about the chaos in the Oval Office, including:
-- What President Trump’s staff really thinks of him
-- What inspired Trump to claim he was wire-tapped by President Obama
-- Why FBI director James Comey was really fired
-- Why chief strategist Steve Bannon and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner couldn’t be in the same room
-- Who is really directing the Trump administration’s strategy in the wake of Bannon’s firing
-- What the secret to communicating with Trump is
-- What the Trump administration has in common with the movie The Producers

Never before in history has a presidency so divided the American people. Brilliantly reported and astoundingly fresh, Fire and Fury shows us how and why Donald Trump has become the king of discord and disunion.

“Essential reading.”―Michael D’Antonio, author of Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success, CNN.com

“Not since Harry Potter has a new book caught fire in this way…[Fire and Fury] is indeed a significant achievement, which deserves much of the attention it has received.”―The Economist

Editorial Reviews

Review

#1 New York Times Bestseller

Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian, Kirkus Reviews, The Sunday Times, The Observer, and Financial Times

"What makes Fire and Fury important is that it is not just about Trump, but a product of the same culture that produced Trump: It is 'reality' journalism, in the same way that Trump is a 'reality' character." ―The Atlantic

"It is not a book. It is the book. If there is only one book Washington political reporters will read this year...then this is it.... [Wolff] is a wicked stylist and keen observer, with a justly earned reputation for approaching his subjects with fangs bared and talons sharpened.... A perfect karmic delivery system."―The Weekly Standard

"The pages of Wolff’s book are littered with insults and intrigue, backstabbing and dysfunction."―The Washington Post

"To the many ironies of Donald Trump’s presidency can be added the fact that a man who does not read books has helped cause a publishing sensation.... Mr Wolff’s muckraking skills, cattiness, cynicism and feel for human weakness, especially among the rich and famous, make him well-qualified for the job."―The Economist

"An undeniably juicy chronicle of a presidential administration that in just one year has been beset by numerous scandals and crises.... [Wolff] gives the reader a you-are-there sense of events without resorting to an unneeded dramatic writing style." ―The San Francisco Chronicle

"Wolff’s lasting achievement here is not his headline-grabbing revelations but the skillful, enthralling, and utterly terrifying way he depicts the unqualified, unprepared, and downright unusual characters to be found wandering the halls of the White House in the first half of 2017 as well as their near bloodsport-level conflicts." ―Entertainment Weekly

"What makes the book significant is its sly, hilarious portrait of a hollow man, into the black hole of whose needy, greedy ego the whole world has virtually vanished."―The Guardian

"The White House has naturally denied and decried Wolff's account, but even if it's only halfway accurate, it presents an appalling view of a frighteningly unqualified and unprepared gang that can't think straight."―Kirkus Reviews

A must-read for both opponents and proponents of Donald J. Trump as President
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2018
Verified Purchase

Michael Wolff is a great story-teller, evoking strong images of people of Trump & Co. entangled in jealousy, intrigue, deception, incompetence, hubris, and ignorance. If the events had taken place in some distant, but familiar country, the narrative would be engrossing and even addictive to read as something in the tradition of Greek tragedy. The events are known from news reports, but Wolff provides color and immediacy. If anything, the breathtaking degree of detail is too great to be journalism, because the author could not have been a first-hand observer of many of the events. He does say that he had many -- anonymous -- interviews with people of the White House. Rather, the engaging narrative is more like "historical fiction", in which real events are described with embellishments to provide verisimilitude. Viewed in this way, the book is an engaging "page-turner."

However, the events that Wolff describes are real and take place in this country, and there are intense political connections. That fact changes everything. Depending upon the reader's political preference, this book may range from being a very engaging read to a despicable scandal sheet. The strongly anti-Trump readers will be having Raves, and the strongly pro-Trump readers will be in denial. There is room for readers between these two extremes to read, learn, and to reflect on the real events, apart from the embellishments.

I don't know Wolff's credentials as a journalist, but based on this book, he is a very good story-teller. He begins with the assertion that Trump & Co. had no expectation that he would win, and as a consequence, they were totally unprepared for that event. His narrative provides a clean timeline of major events that have been well documented by others. There were no huge surprises compared to existing public accounts of the atmosphere of the Trump World, and many of the accounts ring true with what has been said elsewhere. However, the amount of detail offered is new and breathtaking. It reads much like contemporary notes taken by a firsthand witness to the events. The author essentially states that that is not the case; rather he has assembled a narrative from information he received from numerous people within Trump & Co., whose closeness to the actual events described is not -- cannot -- be revealed. However, it is an easy conclusion that Steve Bannon was a major source.

One of the most important events described is the leading up to the meeting of Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort with Russians in June 2016 at Trump Tower, and the fallout when knowledge of the meeting becomes public a year later. There is panic among the principals while traveling to and from Germany for the G20 Summit when the NY Times article is about to be filed. Wolff's narrative is exceptionally vivid in describing the mixture of panic, confusion, infighting, blame-laying, desperation, and incompetence of those involved in generating a response to the article.

One place where Wolff falls down is the Epilogue. It reads like an afterthought. The book should have simply ended with Bannon's departure and avoided the temptation of prognostication. Not only is the tone different from the rest of the book, but some of it simply did not work out "as planned."

There is an extreme irony: The satirical article titled "We Have a Serious Problem" by Douglas McGrath in the New Yorker of 18 January 2016 on the developing Trump candidacy could well be used as the prologue of this book. It begins with Trump deciding to run as a publicity stunt, and ends with him saying, "We have a serious problem ... I might win." At the time it was written, it was a harsh parody. Now, the meshing of the satire before and the reality now is unsettling. Harvey Weinstein is even mentioned in the first paragraph, albeit in a different context from that of today!

Think of this book as a good movie about real historical events. Whether or not the movie is correct in details, its vivid images form the lasting memory of the events. It will become a defining moment in the Trump saga, and it is a must-read for both opponents and proponents of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States.

Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House by Michael Wolff

“Fire and Fury” is a gossipy insightful look into the unstable Trump White House. Best-selling author, Michael Wolff takes the reader inside the White House and with extraordinary access provides an eye-opening expose. This revealing 328-page book includes the following twenty-two chapters: 1. Election Day, 2. Trump Tower, 3. Day One, 4. Bannon, 5. Jarvanka, 6. At Home, 7. Russia, 8. Org Chart, 9. CPAC, 10. Goldman, 11. Wiretap, 12. Repeal and Replace, 13. Bannon Agonistes, 14. Situation Room, 15. Media, 16. Comey, 17. Abroad and at Home, 18. Bannon Redux, 19. Mika Who?, 20. McMaster and Scaramucci, 21. Bannon and Scaramucci, and 22. General Kelly.

Positives:
1. As interesting a book as you will find. A page turner.
2. In the Author’s Note, Wolff describes his methodology and in some instances acknowledges that some accounts are in conflict and lets you the reader be the judge.
3. The book is easy to follow as Wolff engages the reader with interesting stories and characters. Who knew we had a reality TV soap opera in the White House?
4. In spite of all that the press has leaked on the book, it is still worth reading.
5. This book is a gossip wonder fest, everybody has an opinion on everybody and it’s out in the open for you to read. “In Ivanka and Jared’s view, Conway was a cussed, antagonistic, self-dramatizing cable head, and Powell, they hoped, would be a deliberate, circumspect, adult guest on the Sunday morning shows.”
6. Interesting insights throughout. “As the campaign came to an end, Trump himself was sanguine. He had survived the release of the Billy Bush tape when, in the uproar that followed, the RNC had had the gall to pressure him to quit the race.”
7. Trump’s traits are here for the world to view. “Early in the campaign, in a Producers-worthy scene, Sam Nunberg was sent to explain the Constitution to the candidate: “I got as far as the Fourth Amendment before his finger is pulling down on his lip and his eyes are rolling back in his head.””
8. Get your soap out; it’s going to be a dirty ride. “Trump liked to say that one of the things that made life worth living was getting your friends’ wives into bed.”
9. Trump the president. “He had somehow won the race for president, but his brain seemed incapable of performing what would be essential tasks in his new job. He had no ability to plan and organize and pay attention and switch focus; he had never been able to tailor his behavior to what the goals at hand reasonably required. On the most basic level, he simply could not link cause and effect.”
10. Bannon’s views are the backbone of this book. Here is his philosophy. “Bannon’s strategic view of government was shock and awe. Dominate rather than negotiate. Having daydreamed his way into ultimate bureaucratic power, he did not want to see himself as a bureaucrat. He was of a higher purpose and moral order. He was an avenger. He was also, he believed, a straight shooter. There was a moral order in aligning language and action—if you said you were going to do something, you do it.”
11. The greatest asset of Trump the candidate. “The Apprentice, and embracing a theory that would serve him well during his presidential campaign: in flyover country, there is no greater asset than celebrity. To be famous is to be loved—or at least fawned over.”
12. Trumpism. “He is uncomfortable when the men around him are not wearing suit and ties. Formality and convention—before he became president, almost everybody without high celebrity or a billion dollars called him “Mr. Trump”—are a central part of his identity. Casualness is the enemy of pretense. And his pretense was that the Trump brand stood for power, wealth, arrival.” Bonus, “But not only didn’t he read, he didn’t listen. He preferred to be the person talking. And he trusted his own expertise—no matter how paltry or irrelevant—more than anyone else’s. What’s more, he had an extremely short attention span, even when he thought you were worthy of attention.”
13. The Russians! “On January 6, 2017—nearly six months to the day after Foer’s piece was published—the CIA, FBI, and NSA announced their joint conclusion that “Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign in 2016 aimed at the U.S. presidential election.””
14. Clever observations included. “It is an anomaly of Republican politics that young people motivated to work in the public sector find themselves working to limit the public sector.”
15. The three forces in the White House exposed. “Bannon was the alt-right militant. Kushner was the New York Democrat. And Priebus was the establishment Republican. “Steve wants to force a million people out of the country and repeal the nation’s health law and lay on a bunch of tariffs that will completely decimate how we trade, and Jared wants to deal with human trafficking and protecting Planned Parenthood.” And Priebus wanted Donald Trump to be another kind of Republican altogether.”
16. Jarvanka, better known as Jared and Ivanka. “What’s more, the success of the speech confirmed the Jared and Ivanka strategy: look for common ground. It also confirmed Ivanka’s understanding of her father: he just wanted to be loved.”
17. Wolff describes all the players in Trump’s world and their roles. “Hicks remained his closest and most trusted aide, with, perhaps, the single most important job in this White House: interpreting the media for him in the most positive way it could be interpreted, and buffering him from the media that could not be positively spun.”
18. Controversial and troublesome insights. “Shortly after Lewandowski, with whom Hicks had an on-and-off romantic relationship, was fired in June 2016 for clashing with Trump family members, Hicks sat in Trump Tower with Trump and his sons, worrying about Lewandowski’s treatment in the press and wondering aloud how she might help him. Trump, who otherwise seemed to treat Hicks in a protective and even paternal way, looked up and said, “Why? You’ve already done enough for him. You’re the best piece of tail he’ll ever have,” sending Hicks running from the room.”
19. Fake news! “All news was manipulated and designed, planned and planted. All news was to some extent fake—he understood that very well, because he himself had faked it so many times in his career. This was why he had so naturally cottoned to the “fake news” label. “I’ve made stuff up forever, and they always print it,” he bragged.”
20. The Comey fiasco explained. “On May 17, twelve days after FBI director Comey was fired, without consulting the White House or the attorney general, Rosenstein appointed former FBI director Robert Mueller to oversee the investigation of Trump’s, his campaign’s, and his staff’s ties to Russia. If Michael Flynn had recently become the most powerful man in Washington for what he might reveal about the president, now Mueller arguably assumed that position because he had the power to make Flynn, and all other assorted Trump cronies and flunkies, squeal.”
21. The Trump doctrine. “In practice, the new foreign policy, an effective Trump doctrine, was to reduce the board to three elements: powers we can work with, powers we cannot work with, and those without enough power whom we can functionally disregard or sacrifice.”
22. Was there obstruction of justice? “The point could hardly have been clearer: if the president was pressuring the director because he feared that an investigation of Michael Flynn would damage him, then this was an obstruction of justice.”
23. Interesting insights that are in play right now. “In fact, said, Bannon, eyes rolling and mouth agape, it was the Jarvanka idea to try to trade off amnesty for the border wall.”
24. The military firewall. “Roger Stone, one of those people whose calls Kelly was now shielding the president from, spread the dark scenario that Mattis, McMaster, and Kelly had agreed that no military action would ever be taken unless the three were in accord—and that at least one of them would always remain in Washington if the others were away.”
25. In short, what do they have in common? “In the wake of the immolating news conference, all eyes were suddenly on Kelly—this was his baptism of Trump fire. Spicer, Priebus, Cohn, Powell, Bannon, Tillerson, Mattis, Mnuchin—virtually the entire senior staff and cabinet of the Trump presidency, past and present, had traveled through the stages of adventure, challenge, frustration, battle, self-justification, and doubt, before finally having to confront the very real likelihood that the president they worked for—whose presidency they bore some official responsibility for—didn’t have the wherewithal to adequately function in his job.”

Negatives:
1. No references, nor links to speak of.
2. A glossary of the players with short bios would have been helpful.
3. Lack of supplementary material like charts, graphs, photos or tables.
4. No formal bibliography.
5. How much of this is factual? It’s hard to tell but it seems that the author is willing to back up his claims with recordings.
6. Trump fans will be disappointed, that may actually be a positive.

In summary, let’s face it, this book is like a car wreck, you just can’t take your eyes off of it. Even if you don’t like politics this is just one of those books that are guaranteed to entertain. The biggest shortcoming of the book is the lack of supplementary material and the fact that most of the book is hearsay though I presume that some can be backed by recordings and confirming testimony. That said, this is worth reading based on entertainment value and its implications.

Further suggestions that will help you get acquainted with their views: “Devil’s Bargain” by Joshua Green, “Collusion” by Luke Harding, “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump” by Bandy X. Lee, “Unbelievable” by Katy Tur, “What Happened” Hillary Rodham Clinton, “The Plot to Hack America” by Malcolm Nance, and “The Making of Donald Trump” by David Cay Johnston.

I will admit that I have never supported Donald Trump for president and so I may have picked up this book with some prejudice prior to reading it. However, the author captured my attention and with his witty prose, filled in the detail that explains this "Fake Presidency". If the presidency of the USA were not so powerful a governmental position that requires sanity and a sense of diplomacy, I would simply laugh and shelf this book alongside my other comic videos and books that make fun of incompetent government officials, bureaucrats, and capitalists. But, really folks, this IS THE PRESIDENT that we are talking about! Or, at least Trump is sitting in the oval office with the bomb button nearby! I will admit that I might have sympathy for the person Donald Trump in light of the comical manipulation behind the throne. The author introduces you to all the crazy manipulators, worshippers of DJT, and at least the main players in the family who are more concerned about making money than creating a decent, productive society in the USA. Of course this book will be dismissed as "FAKE LITERATURE" or "LIES" , but could anyone make this up? If you voted for Trump, you will not want to read this because it threatens all that you believed about him. But, I would still encourage you to look at it because as I said, who could make this all up? If you didn't vote for Trump, then rest asure that this book will confirm that your karma is clean for this past election. Next question, how to clean up this political mess? That is for everyone to think about.

Essential reading to understand what is happening in America today

Trump was unable to implement his regime dream because of the checks, balances, law abiding politicians and a free press stood in his way. This book makes that blantantly clear.

Very revealing book indeed

Of more interest was Amazon blocking my first and second review without an adequate explanation.
