Reviews"RAGE, a remarkably current and informative audiobook about Donald Trump's presidency, is critical of the job he has done. 'Trump,' concludes its author, 'is the wrong man for the job.' Narrator Robert Petkoff's tone is conversational, and he doesn't attempt to mimic either the author or his subject, allowing the material to speak for itself. And what rich material it is, based on 19 interviews Woodward conducted with the president, along with current and past members of his inner circle, as well as a trove of documents. Of particular interest may be Trump's varied responses to COVID-19--but there are also insights into his views on China, North Korea, racial unrest, the men who once worked for him such as Jim Mattis and Dan Coats, and, of course, his own legacy. This is an absorbing audiobook that will keep listeners tuned in regardless of how much they think they know about the past four years." -- AudioFile Magazine

SynopsisRage is an unprecedented and intimate tour de force of new reporting on the Trump presidency facing a global pandemic, economic disaster and racial unrest. Woodward, the #1 international bestselling author of Fear: Trump in the White House , has uncovered the precise moment the president was warned that the Covid-19 epidemic would be the biggest national security threat to his presidency. In dramatic detail, Woodward takes readers into the Oval Office as Trump's head pops up when he is told in January 2020 that the pandemic could reach the scale of the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed 675,000 Americans. In 17 on-the-record interviews with Woodward over seven volatile months--an utterly vivid window into Trump's mind--the president provides a self-portrait that is part denial and part combative interchange mixed with surprising moments of doubt as he glimpses the perils in the presidency and what he calls the "dynamite behind every door." At key decision points, Rage shows how Trump's responses to the crises of 2020 were rooted in the instincts, habits and style he developed during his first three years as president. Revisiting the earliest days of the Trump presidency, Rage reveals how Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats struggled to keep the country safe as the president dismantled any semblance of collegial national security decision making. Rage draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand witnesses as well as participants' notes, emails, diaries, calendars and confidential documents. Woodward obtained 25 never-seen personal letters exchanged between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who describes the bond between the two leaders as out of a "fantasy film." Trump insists to Woodward he will triumph over Covid-19 and the economic calamity. "Don't worry about it, Bob. Okay?" Trump told the author in July. "Don't worry about it. We'll get to do another book. You'll find I was right."
