Summary
An unprecedented behind-the-scenes portrait of the Trump presidency from the anonymous senior official whose first words of warning about the president rocked the nation's capital.
On September 5, 2018, the New York Times published a bombshell essay and took the rare step of granting its writer anonymity. Described only as "a senior official in the Trump administration," the author provided eyewitness insight into White House chaos, administration instability, and the people working to keep Donald Trump's reckless impulses in check.
With the 2020 election on the horizon, Anonymous is speaking out once again. In this book, the original author pulls back the curtain even further, offering a first-of-its-kind look at the president and his record -- a must-read before Election Day. It will surprise and challenge both Democrats and Republicans, motivate them to consider how we judge our nation's leaders, and illuminate the consequences of re-electing a commander in chief unfit for the role.
This book is a sobering assessment of the man in the Oval Office and a warning about something even more important -- who we are as a people.

A really good book, depressing, but well worth it.
The book pertains to be written anonymously by a high ranking member of the present Donald Trump administration.
Throughout the book, the author continually references:
1) The ancient Greek philosophers, Homer, Virgil, Cicero, etc, on how people in government should deport themselves;
2) The philosophers of the Scottish enlightenment, particularly Hume, whose writings are the base of most, certainly a big chunk, of the Ameican Bill of Rights and Constitution;
3) The precedent of other American presidents, particularly the impeachment of President Andrew Jackson.
The author of this book is clearly well read in both philosophy and history. I'd have though that they, the author, would stick out like a "sore thumb" , given that throughout the book, the author, he or she, has a not so flattering view of the other people, who presently are members of the Trump administration.
Hopefully, history will eventually reveal the author of this book and it'll be interesting to see that in fact, if they were as they state "They're the only adult in the room!"
A really good book, depressing, but well worth reading!

Insightful
The book was addictive, insightful and a powerful call to the moral fibre of the Ameican people. Thank you anonymous for exposing the sham of a President currently sitting in the Oval Office. I do hope the American public will heed your warning. The rest of the world is relying on them to do so.

Terrifying.
This is the most powerful man in the world, and he is an ignorant, self serving thug, with no moral compass, and no social skills. Heaven help us and America.

Interesting listen. It’s worth it
Great book. Everyone should have a listen and balance it with what others have written and what you see day to day.
Interesting debate about the state of American society.
I don’t agree with the comment that Donald J Trump is a reflection of America today. Based on the fact if someone lies continuously purely to dupe the electorate then that is not American. A compulsive liar likes to create smoke all the time to confuse and make people give up. Americans should not give up

Excellent
Essiential reading for all adult Americans. It confirms what most objective people the world over think of Trump. Ironically, he’s arguably the catalyst for profound change in the US & how US voters can make that change. No more corporate controlled politicians, no more Regime Change wars, no more Imperialism. Just take care of your citizens. This book says more than the words on the pages. Congratulations to the author. Can’t have been easy.

Compelling & convincing case against 45s character
Here is laid bare a narrative of the Trump administration which is convincing in its tone and detail. It's also compelling, in a way akin to a car crash where you can't help but look at the wreckage. Refreshingly it wraps up in an air of pragmatism rather than dogmatism.

Anonymous is a patriot, but is no hero
You can tell from this book that the anonymous author clearly loves his country. He (or she) is a patriot. You may also agree with him about the qualities of a good moral leader.
Anonymous tries to make a persuasive case against Donald Trump. Whether he succeeds or not will depend on your own political bias perhaps.
My own guess is that the author is an ex-military person with foreign policy experience and a deep knowledge of history. So for me, the most likely person to be the Anonymous writer is General "Mad Dog" Mattis. If not Mattis, then General Kelly.
However, the author is no hero. You get the feeling that he is more of a neocon conservative than Donald Trump. If the author had his way, he would likely have taken us to war with North Korea or Iran. So in a way - I don't agree with everything he says.
Book is nicely narrated and very easy to listen to. 4 out of 5 stars.

Everybody should hear this.
I have just listened to this again. It is frightening how accurate it is. Along with Disloyal I have learnt so much in two books that is shocking beyond belief. Thank you.
