THE INSIDE STORY ON PRESIDENT TRUMP, AS ONLY BOB WOODWARD CAN TELL IT
With authoritative reporting honed through eight presidencies from Nixon to Obama, author Bob Woodward reveals in unprecedented detail the harrowing life inside President Donald Trump’s White House and precisely how he makes decisions on major foreign and domestic policies. Woodward draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand sources, meeting notes, personal diaries, files and documents. The focus is on the explosive debates and the decision-making in the Oval Office, the Situation Room, Air Force One and the White House residence.
Fear is the most intimate portrait of a sitting president ever published during the president’s first years in office.
##Fire and Fury兩章之後就看不下去瞭,但Fear一周就結束戰鬥,老記者的文字功底還是夠硬的。雖說半文盲Trump不會來讀這本書,但個人覺得內容上對他也不失公正,偶爾還是可以看到他人性的一麵。這個人說到底也沒有多邪惡,也沒有大傢平時嘲笑的那麼蠢,隻是他身上一籮筐的心理問題都被身邊的人和現時環境放大到無可挽迴的地步,可憐瞭白宮裏(曾經)僅存的幾個明白人。
評分##老頭兒名不虛傳翔實又不落地攤報告文學的窠臼。好看。
評分##辱罵律師的無能簡直就是白宮的日常;離經叛道,反智與無知,大量政見如同定時炸彈。比起Fifth Risk,這本書站在川普大帝及運作團隊的視角,更加完整體現瞭“Anarchy and disorder in White House”。自稱140字限時推特界的海明威,Ivanka的“first daughter”,“Rocket little man”,配閤幕僚官員痛不欲生的無聲慘叫。科幻背景下恐怕都編不齣的政治故事。
評分##廢寢忘食地讀完瞭。很多細節事先也大概有數,不過讀完還是有瞭一個比較清楚的picture, 知道瞭當下的一片混亂的來龍去脈,尤其是pinpoint到Peter Navarro(就是說there is a special place in hell for 特魯多的那個)幾乎是NAFTA, 貿易糾紛的禍首。必須等到Navarro失勢,白宮纔會暫時消停。
評分##對涉朝、涉華以及中東政策有極高的參考價值。
評分##媽呀趕在2018年讀完瞭
評分##還是那個知道的川普。
評分##"Mr. President, you're a fucking liar." - John M. Dowd, Trump former legal advisor。Fire and Fury揭露Trump White House裡麵的混亂和爾虞我詐,Fear則是強調Trump是一個冥頑不化、利慾薰心、信口雌黃的白癡。和他說道理講事實完全是對牛彈琴,不然美國現在也不會和全世界都在搞貿易戰。Trump絕對是Fukuyama所說的political decay裡的典型癥狀。
評分##作者筆法瞭得。各個人物刻畫的惟妙惟肖!
