NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "The most comprehensive and detailed
account of the Trump presidency yet published."--The Washington Post
- A Best Book of the Year: The New Yorker and Financial Times
"A sumptuous feast of astonishing tales...The more one reads, the more
one wishes to read."--NPR.com
The inside story of the four years when Donald Trump went to war with
Washington, from the chaotic beginning to the violent finale, told by
revered journalists Peter Baker of The New York Times and Susan
Glasser of The New Yorker--an ambitious and lasting history of the
full Trump presidency that also contains dozens of exclusive scoops and
stories from behind the scenes in the White House, from the absurd to
the deadly serious.
The bestselling authors of The Man Who Ran Washington argue that Trump
was not just lurching from one controversy to another; he was learning
to be more like the foreign autocrats he admired.
The Divider brings us into the Oval Office for countless scenes both
tense and comical, revealing how close we got to nuclear war with North
Korea, which cabinet members had a resignation pact, whether Trump asked
Japan's prime minister to nominate him for a Nobel Prize and much more.
The book also explores the moral choices confronting those around
Trump--how they justified working for a man they considered unfit for
office, and where they drew their lines.
The Divider is based on unprecedented access to key players, from
President Trump himself to cabinet officers, military generals, close
advisers, Trump family members, congressional leaders, foreign officials
and others, some of whom have never told their story until now.
