“Details how Mr. Trump’s presidency essentially collapsed in his final months in office, particularly after his election loss and the start of his campaign to deny the results.”

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.

    This is an interesting and informative look at the end of the Trump presidency and the start of the Biden presidency. Granted, there are a number of criticisms that could be leveled: how many books does Bob Woodward need to make about Trump? Why not wait for the Trump presidency to be over and then make one book covering everything? Isn't this book missing something, since neither Biden nor Trump agreed to be interviewed this time? But still, it is timely and interesting. I was chiefly surprised to learn how very, very few Republicans had any belief in Trump's claims that he had been cheated out of the election, as well as how many of them were determined to follow the Constitution and cooperate with a peaceful transition of power.
