Review: Very Good Book for Details from the News Stories - The book itself is written in a very conversational tone when discussing conversations and events that had happened as if it was occurring in real-time and you were there listening. Other chapters are informative, especially for those who might not keep up with current events and politics at a high level or those who might have forgotten details of the Biden Campaign and the Trump White House. The book is a timeline of key events from Biden mulling the decision to run for president and his concerns in doing so to losing early primaries and mounting a comeback to win the Democratic Party's nomination. In Trump's parts of the book, it dives into the Trump White House and reelection campaign. This entails events such as the beginning of the COVID pandemic, June 1, election night, Trump and his associates trying to overturn the election, and the insurrection at the Capitol (among other events) with precise detail in between. Essentially, the book highlights events from late 2019 to early 2021 for Biden and Trump. It provides background, dialogue, conversations, and other material I have not heard before until reading the book. A lot of the material was unknown before this book's publishing, too. This material stemmed from important people within both bases that had a first-hand look or were directly involved with what was going on but had not spoken out until now. Numerous people in the book are figures many would not have initially associated with being involved but were there. I've read through some of the other reviews (specifically those that gave it a low rating) and can't help but notice a common theme. This theme is that there is allegedly a bias by the authors that makes the book pro-Biden and anti-Trump. With that, I should give a disclaimer that if factual and well-documented conversations, events, actions, or any other occurrences within the final years of the Trump presidency might trigger or offend you, this is not the book for you. Overall, a great read. It certainly is a must-read if you are interested in politics and current events.
Review: THE WAR OF TWO PRESIDENTS FOR THE SOUL AND FUTURE OF AMERICA - “We have much to do in this winter of peril.” PERIL is an expose that offers a comparative look at Trump and his successor Biden, and the notable pair of investigative political journalists pack a real punch. In another era, Bob Woodward broke the Watergate Scandal with colleague Carl Bernstein, and has a long and storied career. Robert Costa, if you recall, is the White House political reporter that President Trump exercised an egomaniacal sense of power to humiliate and publicly discredit during a press conference, effectively trying to ban him from the White House. President Trump’s reign (“regime”) brought me closer to politics than I’d ever been in my life, even during college. For voting purposes, I’m registered with one of the major parties, although I pride myself on independent thinking and embrace various platform issues from the Democratic, Republican and Libertarian parties. Depends on the issue. My politics follow what makes balanced sense, not what politicians spew for votes or the fickle public believes on any given day. I felt so transgressed and brutalized as an American by Trumpian politics and the assault on American democracy, which bordered increasingly on flat-out Fascism, that I supported Biden as the anti-Trump candidate. It had been four years of watching a trainwreck over and over. That doesn’t mean that I previously or ever would support or vote for Trump, or support Biden again. My support of Biden was more about restoring a truer sense of America on the world stage, an optimistic hope for “un-fracturing” a severely polarized America, and preventing a slow slide into an inevitable dictatorship, than it was about any alignment with all that Biden represented. We are in dangerous times and need to pick our poison wisely. A book that ostensibly offered a comparative view with insider insight into the transition of power between both men at arguably the most trying period in our lifetimes brought me right back into the political fold. World threats, the shaken faith of our Allies, and a worldwide pandemic is what Trump left in his disordered wake, but can Biden answer the call? Trump brought shame, but will Biden restore honor and all that we have always held dear? I found the political dissection riveting and not without a certain voyeuristic curiosity about things not publicly known before, or at least exposed in much more depth. In some respects, the truth is hard to swallow and there will undoubtedly continue to be polarization from Trumpists, but the timeline and insider accounts are not only illuminating, but also underscore more flaws in our nation’s politics and leadership. Personally, I hope we are not in the first stages of the decline and downfall of America with a tipping point too far gone to rectify. I have often likened our current democracy to the New Rome and all that fate entails. Biden is not a panacea, and Trump may rise again. We’re not out of the woods yet, and peril still exists.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fitting conclusion
*by W***W on September 27, 2021*

Bob Woodward books to me are like big bags of potato chips. I can't resist them, I can finish them off in a few sittings, they're satisfying in the moment, and once opened, they have a short shelf life so are better enjoyed while fresh - you can't pull them off your shelf in a year or two and expect them to be anywhere near as good. As a result, I avoid buying potato chips altogether, otherwise I will binge on them. I lack such self control when it comes to Bob Woodward books. Fear and Rage took us inside the Trump presidency as it was happening. "Peril" invites us to look back at the administration's waning days and the beginning of the Biden administration. It seems a little early to want to relive this in book form - didn’t all of this just happen? The past year-plus has already been news overload, with the pandemic, the election and the insurrection, so if you’ve been paying any attention, much of what’s recounted here will be familiar. But there are plenty of unique nuggets, most of which have already been revealed in pre-publication news articles about the book - such as Gen. Mark Milley’s efforts to prevent Trump from instigating a “Wag the Dog” style armed conflict, the John Eastman “coup memo,” Mike Pence’s call to Dan Quayle for advice, and so on. Reading these spoilers in advance blunts their impact when read in the context of the book, but it shouldn’t detract from the impressiveness of the reporting that uncovered them. The rest of the book is vintage Woodward, in that it takes you inside the rooms where conversations were happening, allowing you to relive now-familiar events with a different, fly-on-the-wall perspective. Even though you know what happened next and how it all turned out in the end, it’s still an engrossing read. Woodward's co-writing partnership with Robert Costa seemingly helped get this book out just a year after the previous one, cutting in half the two-year interval between the first two books. But the dual authorship never shows any seams, so it still reads like a Woodward book. The narrative goes back and forth between Trump and Biden - the chapters on Trump are both surprising and entirely unsurprising at this point, while the chapters on Biden mostly read like a straightforward recounting of well-reported events. About ¾ of the way through, the book loses some steam as the story progresses to Biden’s first few months in office, and wonkish discussions of the efforts to get his coronavirus relief package through Congress. As is Woodward’s style, all interviews for the book were conducted on background, so it’s left to the reader to deduce who spoke with the authors. But it’s not at all difficult to figure out. The problem is that you end up with a lot of stories designed to make the teller look good. Bill Barr, for example, comes across looking like a principled, irreproachable, calming influence in the chaotic final days of the Trump administration - according, apparently, to Bill Barr. And Lindsey Graham never comes across quite so good as when Lindsey Graham is telling the story. It will be decades before the events of this past year or so can be properly analyzed as history. If you just can’t wait, this book - which neatly concludes the trilogy in its final few sentences - will serve its purpose as the first draft of that history. And it will undoubtedly prove useful for future authors and historians to build upon. It’s not something I’m likely to pull off the shelf in a year or two or three to reread, but like that bag of chips I just can’t resist - it may not provide lasting nutritional value, but it sure tasted good.
