Every time I read something on Trump he gets me so mad and worked up that I just want to forget who he was. If Kevin McCarthy was Speaker of the House on Jan. 6, 2021, he would’ve taken this country right back where we started. We ousted a king to become the United States of America. Knowing that someone in our government produced a document to justify overturning the 2020 election is terrifying. 6 is SO MUCH WORSE than it looked like just watching it all unfold on the news. The election and everything leading up to Jan. We knew from the first two books (and the last four years) that he’s unhinged, but this book took it to another level.

The fact that months later Trump still believes the election was stolen from him is hilarious and asinine, but also a bit alarming. The in-depth stories of the Jan. 6 insurrection and the events leading up to it were sickening, even though they were also illuminating. It seems like fiction, but then you realize that it’s so bizarre not even the most imaginative author could come up with this. It seems like a feverish dream, some distant repressed memory. While reading 'Peril,' all I kept thinking was, “This is the craziest sh-t I’ve ever read in my life.” After which, I had to remind myself repeatedly, THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. stands as one of the most dangerous periods in American history. 'Peril' is the extraordinary story of the end of one presidency and the beginning of another, and represents the culmination of Bob Woodward’s news-making trilogy on the Trump presidency, along with 'Fear' and 'Rage.' And it is the beginning of a collaboration with fellow Washington Post reporter Robert Costa which will remind readers of Woodward’s coverage, with Carl Bernstein, of President Richard M. “We have much to do in this winter of peril,” President Joe Biden declared at his inauguration, an event marked by a nerve-wracking security alert and the threat of domestic terrorism. I lack such self-control when it comes to Bob Woodward’s books. You can’t pull them off your shelf in a year or two and expect them to be anywhere near as good.Īs a result, I try to avoid potato chips altogether. They’re satisfying in the moment and, once opened, they have a short life so are better enjoyed while fresh. I just finished reading 'Peril' by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.īob Woodward’s books to me are like big bags of potato chips.
