On This Page
Description
Bob Woodward and Robert Costa cover the end of the Trump presidency and the early months of the Biden presidency. The transition from President Donald J. Trump to President Joseph R. Biden Jr. stands as one of the most dangerous periods in American history. Woodward and Costa take readers deep inside the Trump White House, the Biden White House, the 2020 campaign, and the Pentagon and Congress, with vivid, eyewitness accounts of what really happened. They also provide a look at Biden's show more presidency as he faces 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. -- adapted from jacket. show lessTags

Bob Woodward and Robert Acosta, both well known for their outstanding reporting of the facts, have done an excellent job in writing this book in a straightforward, easy-to-understand language that even non-political readers can understand. Told through hundreds of interviews and thousands of pages of transcripts, this book gives an unbiased, real-life account of the tumultuous last days of Trump's reign of madness. The fact that Lindsay Graham, McCarthy, and others in the Republican party admit they think DJT is a narcissistic psychopath yet still want him to lead their party in 2024, is chilling. Even more disturbing is General Mark Milley's reveal he feared Trump, who had access to our nuclear weapons, would create a "way-the-dog" show more scenario on his way out of office. Even the level-headed McConnell admits the riot on January 6th was incited by an unstable Trump, and yet he admits he'll back him for the GOP nominee in the next presidential election. This speaks volumes to those who are listening. Politicians in the Republican party care far more for their careers and the personal power it brings them than they do for the people of the country they serve. What I don't understand is why aren't more people listening? DJT should never be allowed to serve in any public office ever again. show less
“Real power is—I don’t even want to use the word—fear,” Trump told us. “I bring rage out. I do bring rage out. I always have. I don’t know if that’s an asset or a liability, but whatever it is, I do.”
― Bob Woodward, Peril
PLEASE -- if you are a Trump fan and do not like reading rough critiques of him -- you might want to skip this one.
My review:
You bet Trump brings rage out.
I hadn't intended on reading this because I read so many books about politics and am burnt out on them. I figured I'd give it a rest. But I received this as a gift and am glad I did because it was a terrific read.
Well -- we all know what it's about. And we know since it's Woodward we know it's going to be intense. And it was.
Parts made me almost show more sick to my stomach. It showed so skillfully the fermentation, the building, the making of the big lie -- and the creation of a cult.
The book is easily as scary as any horror novel because this was our reality.
What I couldn't figure out as I read this -- and saw the endless enabling and sycophancy -- was this: why didn't ONE person --a friend or a family member -- ever say to this guy -- you need HELP?
This was never said. Ever.
Look -- I know he wouldn't have got any. But these are the people who love him so much? Treating him like a two-year old.
The line that stood out to me was when he said to Mike pence (and I'm not sure I have the exact quote right)
"If you don't do this for me I don't want to be your friend anymore."
WHO talks like that? What person - what ADULT -- SAYS that?
Look -- I try not to judge. I am myself quite immature in some aspects. But this -- this gobbely-gook -- was both repelling and fascinating.
I wouldn't have ever believed it if I hadn't witnessed the behavior for four years with the rest of the country.
And I HATE to say it -- but I felt for Mike Pence.
I'd never vote for him. There are few policy positions we agree on. And he's been coddled a bit by the media.
But I must say -- reading this book, I saw the almost inhuman pressure that was put on him. And the codependency he exhibited was also fascinating.
Pence ultimately played by the rules. I wonder if he's scarred by all that happened. It is interesting in that I have read that sociopaths and codependents often find each other. I believe Trump's a sociopath and Pence is a codependent so reading about their interaction was interesting.
Trump's habit of talking about himself in the third person was disconcerting as well as creepy.
But the attack on the Capitol. There is a sense of dread reading this because you know exactly where its heading. Woodward to his credit though is never vulgar and does not linger on details. The book is much more than January 6.
So, yes I would recommended it. You really can't turn away. And it's a long book but a very fast read.
There were things I wish had been included -- more about how Biden chose his Cabinet and something about Garland.
But I liked the book. Woodward obviously is a brilliant writer. Still, I think I am going to continue my fasting when it comes to political books -- at least for now.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
You know what? I wrote my review and read it and -- I just realized I didn't say much about January 6.
I wasn't going to. I think I've said a great deal. But how can I not? How can anybody forget?
So to the Police who fought for our country that day -- thank you.
To the ones who didn't survive -- or who died after, some by suicide -- We will always remember.
That quote I used -- it's true you know.
I have had moments of pure rage. And Trump did that to me.
I hate to admit it. I've spoken to countless others who feel the same.
Hatred and rage are draining emotions. They wear one out.
I wonder how many I love who are not with me in a Psychical way -- what would they think? Of the world as it is today?
I hope there will be a time when we can all -- as a planet -- laugh and love and be free of the hate that crackles so strongly these days. I really hope for more peaceful times. show less

The peril of the title is the danger posed to the very structure of the American democracy posed by its volatile, egomaniacal 45th president. This is Woodward’s third book about Trump, and It is written in the same style of the first two, Fear, and Rage. The authors quote dialogue extensively, based on interviews and shared recollections of more than 200 firsthand participants and witnesses.
Peril describes in great detail the events surrounding the not-so-peaceful transfer of power from the Trump Administration to the Biden Administration. Woodward and Costa assert that Trump would do almost anything to remain in power, the Constitution be damned. The one hero of their narrative is General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of show more Staff, who steadfastly remained calm and in control of the military while Trump explored every possible method to overturn the clear results of the 2020 presidential election. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper also performed well, but he was fired immediately after the election and was unable to exert his influence for as long a time as Milley.
This book provided several startling revelations about how close Trump came to succeeding. Since it has been reviewed by numerous others in great detail, any summary recapitulation of its contents by me would add little to a relatively vast literature. I would, however, emphasize the importance of the authors’ warnings and admonitions. They conclude their analysis with a personal interview with Trump, which he allowed in an effort to tell his side of the story. Their reaction:
“…we…saw darkness. He could be petty. Cruel. Bored by American history and dismissive of governing traditions that has long guided elected leaders. Could Trump work his will again? Were there any limits to what he and his supporters might do to put him back in power? Peril remains.”

Woodward, Bob, and Robert Costa. Peril. Simon and Schuster, 2021.
Woodward and Costa are more journalists than historians, so their history is limited to what their immediate sources can tell them, and they are unwilling to fill in the blanks with the kind of speculation that Theodore White used to do in his Making of the President series. Nevertheless, in Peril, a book that covers the 2020 election from the Charlottesville riot that spurred Biden to run to his negotiations to pass the early pieces of his legislative agenda, Woodward and Costa have provided the source material for all the broader histories of the Trump and Biden presidencies that are sure to follow. Their information, they tell us, was based on documentary evidence and show more deep background interviews in which they agree not to reveal their sources. That will no doubt frustrate future historians, but their track record as reporters leads one to trust them not to invent quotes or present editorials in the guise of facts. As close as they ever come to suggesting an editorial position is their inclusion of former Speaker of House Paul Ryan’s comment that Trump suffers from narcissistic personality disorder, a diagnosis that Trump’s reaction to his 2020 electoral defeat undoubtedly supports. They also note that neither Biden nor Trump agreed to be interviewed.
Much of the content of the book has been widely reported, including General Milley’s assurances to Nancy Pelosi and to his counterparts in the Chinese military that the U.S. military would not act on irrational orders during the transition. The book begins with a long transcript of a phone conversation between Milley and Pelosi in which it is clear how worried they both were about the possibility of Trump issuing such orders. Biden’s decision to run seems to have been partially motivated by his concern to prevent the kind of racist insurrection threatened by Charlottesville and reinforced on January 6. The book concludes with Milley’s concern that the January 6 riot at the capitol would be remembered as an analogue to the 1906 rebellion in Russia that prefigured the Bolshevik revolution. Peril is indeed an apt title.
Less well reported have been the book’s presentation of Senator Lindsey Graham and Attorney General Bill Barr’s ineffectual efforts to persuade Trump to moderate his irrational behavior after his impeachment and election defeat. As Graham puts it, their challenge was to determine how much unwanted advice they could give Trump without suffering for it, how close they could “get to the sun without melting.” Vice President Mike Pence had to fly closer than anyone, and his refusal to go along with Trump’s request to invalidate the electoral results in several states and send the election to the House of Representatives, where Trump would win because Republicans have majorities in more states than do the Democrats. It is clear from Woodward and Costa’s reporting that Pence wanted to find a way to appease his boss. The country should be grateful to the unlikely figure of former Vice President Dan Quayle for talking him out of it. 5 stars. show less

The third of Woodward's series of books about Trump, this time with co-author Robert Costa. Although this one is really half about Trump and half about Biden. It covers the campaign for the 2020 election, the events of Jan. 6, 2021 and their aftermath, and Biden's first actions in office. As with the previous volumes, there's not a whole lot in here the I feel I didn't already know about. The stuff about Jan. 6, in particular, is not especially in-depth. I did, however, very much appreciate how much the book gives us of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley's perspective on events. I remember getting more than a little desperately needed reassurance from his clear statements about where the military stood on matters, and it was show more satisfying to get some more background on the man and on where he was coming from.
Like the previous volumes, this does sometimes feel disjointed, perhaps even a little disorganized. But it's a pretty fast read, anyway, at least for as long as you can stomach the subject matter. (I admit, there were times when I couldn't quite face picking it up again, for reasons that had nothing to do with the writing.) show less

I have now read Woodward’s three most recent books – Rage, Fear and Peril. They have each followed the same very annoying pattern:
1.) To hype a new release, publishers send copies of the book to the news media one week prior to the official publication date.
2.) The news media quickly skim the content and blast out BREAKING NEWS stories about the juiciest bits. Cable News channels follow up with interviews of retired military and other “experts” for instant but not always well thought-out analysis.
3.) Then, in Woodward’s case with Peril, the reader has to plow through about 140 pages of background material to get to some of these now-over-hyped scenes. Yes, yes, some of the pages in a Prologue cover a phone call with the show more Chinese, and others question Trump’s stability, and the nuclear codes process, but the content is not exactly the “meat” that we readers had been seeking.
4.) We finally get to the key scenes of January 6, and – not surprisingly but still disappointedly -there is nothing new about The Speech, the violence at the Capitol, the TV watching at the White House. Granted, there are some details about Trump-Pence conversations I don’t think I had heard before, and some other small potatoes but nothing shattering or the details would have been all over CNN, FOX etc.
5.) And it’s over. There are still 160 pages to go, and that last third or so is filled with the Rescue Plan (but not much on Covid), Afghanistan, and anecdotes like the Trump-Obama exchange on their way to the ’16 inauguration, and mention of Manchin’s houseboat …..(yawn)
I’ve always found Woodward books to be very readable, well-paced, with interesting (but dated) material and lots of dialog and near-dialog.; he is a very good story-teller. “Peril” will be a good book for a college kid in the 2040’s trying to get a pulse on this moment in time.
But I’m out. Finished. “Peril” was too much like reading yesterdays’ newspapers…..No more Woodward books for me. show less

If you seen any of the book tour events and the many presentations you know the major piece of news here is the revealing of General Milley's call with the Chinese to make sure they did not overreact to the astounding events of Jan 6th. He knew that Chinese forces had been put on alert and he wanted to give them some sense that the U.S. would not be attacking them. Indeed Joint Chief of Staff Milley and to some extant Attorney General Bill Barr seem to be the stabilizing forces that contained how far things would spin without losing total control.
Beyond that this is mostly old news put together in a way that makes it seem that there was a pattern to these events. Trump was committed to the idea that the election was stolen from him and show more that he really won. He could not believe otherwise no matter how much evidence was presented to him. He had others who were totally committed to stoking the dystopian vision.
But the real limitation of this book is it's mainly one side of the story -the view from the Washington insiders. While many interviews were conducted there's little evidence that the authors were able to get to the players in Trump's orbit. There's nothing from Giuliani, Powell, Eastman, Bannon, Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr., Michael Flynn, nor even Michael Cohen or Mary Trump. In some sense they got to the usual sources, like Lindsay Graham.
It's a good quick read, but there's less here than I would have liked. show less
