By Bob Woodward & Robert Costa
- Release Date: 2021-09-21
- Genre: Biographies & Memoirs
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
5By Plo1973Woodward 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
5By JanisBermanFascinating look behind the scenes of conniving men who only cared about themselves. Not one of the Republicans cared about democracyMust read

5By Block UpdateAppears 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
1By Terrible11111111111111111Woodward is a political hack. Terrible book.Poor Trumpers
4By Narwhalienthe 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
4By Between Now & ThenNo surprises here.Peril
5By just let me to see my stuffThis 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. KevinChinese propaganda
1By Khowell0Bob Costa spreading Chinese propaganda. Don’t readShould be in the fiction section….
1By cigarafic88Just finished the book and also did my research for hours on numerous points and also compared it with the testimony from Millie the past two days in the congressional hearing. To quote Adam Smith directly, “I was quoted in this book as well and a lot of what i said was conflated and not 100% accurately portrayed, it does happen. Just because someone says something that doesnt mean that it is an accurate portrayal and can be a misunderstanding”.Biden already failed miserably
1By 1freedom2009And it’s only been nine months.AMAING RESEARCH. TRUE COLORS OUT ON THE SURFACE
5By Kalakas 21THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE AND MR. WOODWORD AND MR. COSTA ARE DELIVERING IT FOR ALL TO READ AND KNOW THE DEMONIZING SELFISH, CARELESS, MALIGNANT, POWER LOVERS, GREEDY MINDS OF O THE ORANGE WALKING BLOB AND THOSE AROUND HIM. AND ALL THOSE ORANGE BLOB LOVERS ARE SO BLIND SO STUCK IN THE LIES. THE ORANGE BLOB WAS CORRECT REGARDING CLEANING THE SWAMP, HE SURE MADE SURE ALL THE WASTE SURFACED TO THE TOP FOR ALL OF US TO SEE. THANK YOU GENTLEMAN. HAT OFF ON YOUR COURAGEOUS JOB. YOU ARE TRUE PATRIOTS FOR WRITING THE TRUTH. SEMPER FI!Peril
4By Bethany PandaA page turner, diligent and objective, providing a real time foundation for understanding current events and the political process.Leftist Garbage
1By Ewik BayweeLeftist garbage without a shred of reason; is completely biased against facts while spinning it's tale. A waste of hours of your lifeLong and mostly boring.
2By Lt readI gave a bad review. Won’t let me post itReally poorly written
1By Bowser165It seems to have the same spin as everything else these days. It’s not really very level headed and is more of a propaganda hit piece on “transitioning from a dangerous Tyrant to our dear leader”. Pitifully skewed and poorly researched. Save your money.O M G - and I thought we had seen our worst president ever with Nixon…
5By I'm new at thisI refused to watch tv news, so as the horrors played out I waited for Woodward to report the real facts (as opposed to those ALTERNATIVE facts) in a book. As horrible as they are, I had to read them to learn the truth. ( as much as we’re allowed to know, anyway) My only regret in buying this book is that I didn’t get it in hard cover. It should go into my library for reference when my grandkids are older and we discuss our crazy mess of government.Wonderful
5By ruizchaconaleAmazing book
