Reviews
"I can't believe I'm saying this: it's worse than I even imagined." - Stephen Colbert "As much as you think you know about the arrogance, vanity and sheer incompetence of Trump's years in the White House, Bolton's account will still astonish you... No wonder the White House was so determined to block this book." - David Ignatius, Washington Post "A scathing and revelatory account... indispensable, jaw-dropping, and specific...what a truth he offers us." - The New Yorker "Bolton's bombshell book shows it's still possible to be shocked by Trump's presidency" - The Guardian "Mr. Bolton's volume is the first tell-all memoir by such a high-ranking official who participated in major foreign policy events and has a lifetime of conservative credentials. It is a withering portrait of a president ignorant of even basic facts about the world, susceptible to transparent flattery by authoritarian leaders manipulating him and prone to false statements, foul-mouthed eruptions and snap decisions that aides try to manage or reverse." - The New York Times "The most substantive, critical dissection of the president from an administration insider... lays out a long series of jarring and troubling encounters between the president, his top advisers and foreign leaders." - Washington Post "A book full of damning details" - The Economist "Explosive" - Business Insider "Devastating portrait" - Telegraph "Eye-popping" - CNN "Jarring" - Jake Tapper, CNN "Shows the scale and depth of Trump's depravity and corruption." - The Atlantic "A service to the nation... There is no question that this book contains explosive revelations that could well have an impact on the election." - Thomas Wright, The Brookings Institute, The Atlantic "The details are damning." - Fareed Zakaria "The most devastating indictment yet." - Nicolle Wallace "A harrowing portrait" - Mother Jones "Absurdly entertaining" - Ben Domenech, The Federalist "A riveting read" - Trevor Noah, The Daily Show "The most important White House memoir yet to emerge from the Trump administration" - National Review, "I can't believe I'm saying this: it's worse than I even imagined." - Stephen Colbert "As much as you think you know about the arrogance, vanity and sheer incompetence of Trump's years in the White House, Bolton's account will still astonish you...

Synopsis
From the Epilogue: As if impeachment were not enough, I also found myself confronting the daunting challenge of fighting an incumbent President determined to prevent publication of a book about my White House experiences. Trump behaved typically, directing the seizure and withholding of my advisors' personal and other unclassified documents; despite numerous requests for their return; obstructing my Twitter account; and making outright threats of censorship. His reaction thus ranged from the mean-spirited to the constitutionally impermissible. My reaction ... my response? Game on. Book jacket., Trump's National Security Advisor took detailed notes. The result is the most comprehensive and substantial account of the Trump Administration from a senior advisor who had served three previous presidents over 30 years, with stunning revelations about happened inside the most powerful room in the nation., As President Trump's National Security Advisor, John Bolton spent many of his 453 days in the room where it happened, and the facts speak for themselves. The result is a White House memoir that is the most comprehensive and substantial account of the Trump Administration, and one of the few to date by a top-level official. With almost daily access to the President, John Bolton has produced a precise rendering of his days in and around the Oval Office. What Bolton saw astonished him: a President for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation. "I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn't driven by reelection calculations," he writes. In fact, he argues that the House committed impeachment malpractice by keeping its prosecution focused narrowly on Ukraine when Trump's Ukraine-like transgressions existed across the full range of his foreign policy--and Bolton documents exactly what those were, and attempts by him and others in the Administration to raise alarms about them. He shows a President addicted to chaos, who embraced our enemies and spurned our friends, and was deeply suspicious of his own government. In Bolton's telling, all this helped put Trump on the bizarre road to impeachment. "The differences between this presidency and previous ones I had served were stunning," writes Bolton, who worked for Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43. He discovered a President who thought foreign policy is like closing a real estate deal--about personal relationships, made-for-TV showmanship, and advancing his own interests. As a result, the US lost an opportunity to confront its deepening threats, and in cases like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea ended up in a more vulnerable place. Bolton's account starts with his long march to the West Wing as Trump and others woo him for the National Security job. The minute he lands, he has to deal with Syria's chemical attack on the city of Douma, and the crises after that never stop. As he writes in the opening pages, "If you don't like turmoil, uncertainty, and risk--all the while being constantly overwhelmed with information, decisions to be made, and sheer amount of work--and enlivened by international and domestic personality and ego conflicts beyond description, try something else." The turmoil, conflicts, and egos are all there--from the upheaval in Venezuela, to the erratic and manipulative moves of North Korea's Kim Jong Un, to the showdowns at the G7 summits, the calculated warmongering by Iran, the crazy plan to bring the Taliban to Camp David, and the placating of an authoritarian China that ultimately exposed the world to its lethal lies. But this seasoned public servant also has a great eye for the Washington inside game, and his story is full of wit and wry humor about how he saw it played.

- a***p (231)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufI am very impressed by this seller. The books were here in less than a week. The packaging was outstanding and all the books were safe and sound. The price was very fair and I am very pleased with my purchase. I was also very impressed with the Honor books. I taught English to high school students for thirty years and not as current as I wish I had been in regard to these wonderful books. I hope to read as many as possible before my granddaughter can begin. Since she just turned 5 mos. I'm ok.

So don’t do what I did, I just needed to have patience. All the books showed up within in three days of each other. The books were in good condition. The packaging protected them well, and delivery time were on point. Thanks
