Extended Synopsis
In Rage, the highly anticipated second installment of his Trump White House trilogy, legendary investigative journalist Bob Woodward delivers an intimate, unprecedented tour de force of the Trump presidency. Facing a global pandemic, economic disaster, and nationwide racial unrest, the administration's inner workings are laid bare. Relying on hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand witnesses, participants' diaries, and confidential memos, Woodward uncovers the precise moment in early 2020 when the president was briefed on the catastrophic national security threat posed by the COVID-19 epidemic.
The centerpiece of this volume is a series of 17 on-the-record interviews conducted with Donald Trump over seven volatile months. These conversations provide a vivid, unfiltered window into the president's mind, capturing a mix of denial, combative interchanges, and moments of startling doubt regarding the perils of his office. Woodward also revisits the administration's earliest days, detailing the profound struggles of officials like James Mattis, Rex Tillerson, and Dan Coats to maintain national security protocols, while exclusively revealing the contents of 25 previously unseen personal letters between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
