Description
#1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller: An unprecedented behind-the-scenes portrait of the Trump presidency from the anonymous senior official whose first words of warning about the president rocked the nation's capital.
On September 5, 2018, the New York Times published a bombshell essay and took the rare step of granting its writer anonymity. Described only as "a senior official in the Trump administration," the author provided eyewitness insight into White House chaos, administration instability, and the people working to keep Donald Trump's reckless impulses in check.
With the 2020 election on the horizon, Anonymous is speaking out once again. In this book, the original author pulls back the curtain even further, offering a first-of-its-kind look at the president and his record -- a must-read before Election Day. It will surprise and challenge both Democrats and Republicans, motivate them to consider how we judge our nation's leaders, and illuminate the consequences of re-electing a commander in chief unfit for the role.
This book is a sobering assessment of the man in the Oval Office and a warning about something even more important -- who we are as a people.

A Must Have Document !
5By sarahmahammadFor a girl who grew up boycotting news and cable TVs al together, the internet with all its political gossip platforms and daily political discussions I ppreciate this book. It’s a must have documented history we’re still living and making. A Warning! A well written, well narrated and very well presented, detailing a lot of what was hidden from people like me in this country who living their lives away from the daily - so-called breaking news. To add up to all the ugliness, authoritarianism and inhumanity of the previous guy in the WH and his administration in our near past. A chapter of our history in which we all lived, witnessed and went through its horrors and heartbreaks, Plus our COVID-19 US losses. I’ve picked this book when it was still by anonymous in 2019 and left me thinking a lot and shifting perspectives, making some major decisions in my life for my future children as well. I’d like to have the copy with the author’s name on too ASAP to save it for my children in our homeschooling library, so that we can discuss it together when they become a well brought up adults incha’Allah and I tell them what we’ve done to stand up for our Democracy and show the world what we’re capable of doing. Miles Taylor, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for documenting this chapter of our history in a very powerful and heart touching way! I send you all forces of love and I pray always for your safety and well-being. Thanks again🙏Enlightening
5By Carrie's SolitaireLoved this book it was quite enlightening!Deeply Reflecting
1By CscentsI love politics but I don’t understand them. This book has opened my eyes in so many ways. I recognize so many of the questions I have actually asked myself and the answers are here and have been validated. I am not surprised by anything I have read within these pages. Books are simply words meant to teach us , entertain us, and help us, manage our lives. However, this book went much deeper when it forced me to reflect on how I choose a leader. That person should reflect who I am, what I value and what I wish to pass on to future generations. It is A Warning plain and simple and a wake up call for each and every one of us to go protect our Democracy from those that wish to discredit it. Many thanks to the author for his bravery to wake us up.Good, but flawed narrator
4By Aerdiplo_5Anonymous wants us to know that things are not going well for the steady state, but isn’t ready for “anything drastic.” Knows the president denies the help he got from Russians in the election, but thinks another election is the ideal remedy. They may be right, but their solution is as naive now as they were when they joined the administration. Here’s hoping we take this warning seriously for our own sake.Anonymous
5By bschatzingerMust read for every voter...A Clear Warning to all Americans
5By VerndooshThis outstanding book was obviously written by someone very high up in the Whitehouse. He or she describes an administration reeling in almost daily chaos, manned by a staff mortified at the immoral behavior of the President. The author’s use of historical events brings into focus the damage being done by Trump to our nation’s moral direction.Anonymous
5By Snowshoe GuyEvery American citizen and member of Congress needs to read his book and enter a period of deep reflection ...Sobering Insight into Trump’s White House
5By OBXJENI’m not sure what I expected, but it is a sobering reality check for those who weren’t already familiar by now with Trump’s scary & criminal behavior on a day to day basis. Must read. I’m really sure now that Trump was never qualified to be President of our great Country.This is Disgraceful.
1By Blue Dog DemocratThe US Senate needs to use the power of the United States Congress to expose who this person is and imprison this person. If someone from Obama’s White House has done this they would have been publicly rebuked and would have had their lives ruined by the Media. This is disgraceful.Superficial with nothing new
2By Epicure 2There’s nothing new here and the analyses, if one can call them that, are superficial and poorly written. Others like Woodward and Wolff have described the same situation Much more eloquently and convincingly. There’s just no reason to buy this book.Enlightening
5By nextgenericNothing we don’t already know, but shines a light.Scholarly, analytic, realpolitik--a breath of fresh air!
5By Ms. Hush PuppyA passionate writer providing dispassionate and historical analysis of how America has become more crude, more divided and less able to move forward with rational analyses to better support our balance of power as it was intended by the Framers. Amazing discussions of what has happened, questioning why & speculating on the future. Can you get a Pulitzer if you are Anonymous? I hope so!Great Book You Must Read
5By snewocnhojThere are trumpians here giving this book a poor rating because they did NOT read it and refuse to accept the truth. They simply support their corrupt Republican leadership more than the welfare of our weakening country. This book reveals how incompetent Trump is and how his staff try to repair his lies, bullying, misinformation, and ignorance. It also reveals the chaos, obstruction, and coverups of the worst President in U.S. history. Furthermore, it reveals how Trump instills fear in his staff, advisors, and republican members of Congress, or be fired, bullied and harassed relentlessly. 37 of Trump’s staff have been indicted, 6 convicted, and 6 jailed. 24 members of Trump’s team have resigned in protest to Trump’s incompetence.Garbage
1By jjh2927Trash!Name Yourself
1By HeadsIWinTailsYouLose2020If you’re not willing to put your name out there I’m not willing to believe anything that you write. Anonymous is reserved for Fiction, if you can’t be questioned you should be in the Fiction section...or the Fake News section.Self serving
1By FreethinkerXSelf serving buyer’s remorse.Hastily written....
2By Kathytc...and it shows. Most of the incidents reported in this book are already well reported. Not much new about Trump to be found in its pages. I find it troubling that the authors chooses to remain anonymous. He (or possibly she) even made a comment about mistrusting a report that is issued anonymously.The last chapter is the best. Let’s roll.
5By TressaMNMuch of this book is already known to Americans who have been paying close attention to Trump’s presidency. I particularly appreciated the end of the book that speaks of the hope that exists for Americans - if we can muster the strength - to join together and reclaim our nation’s ideals. Let’s roll, indeed.Excellent Read
5By Bubbagirl73Verifies what any observant, intelligent American has been seeing with their own eyes. I understand coming forth as Anonymous with the type of environment that has developed under this President. Pass the book around!
