About this listen
New York Times best-selling author of Fire and Fury and Siege completes the trilogy on the epic presidency of Donald J. Trump.
With Fire and Fury, Wolff defined the first phase of the Trump administration; in Siege, he wrote an explosive account of a presidency under fire. In Landslide, Wolff closes the story of Trump's four years in office and his tumultuous last months at the helm of the country, based on Wolff's extraordinary access to White House aides and to the former president himself, yielding a wealth of new information and insights about what really happened inside the highest office in the land, and the world.

Overall the book is great. It is slightly repetitive, emphasising (often times without necessarily providing any quotations or sense that the view taken is based on conversations with players in the political drama) the unreality of the idea that Trump could get the election overturned. In that sense, while it carpets Republicans for toadying to Trump, it also lets them off the hook, because it was all just theatre, none of it meant anything, “go back to bed America, your government is in control again.” But this doesn’t detract from some of the most powerful elements, like the black comedy of narrating the voices of those who stormed the Capitol, or the absolutely surreal conversations between Trump’s legal people in “Impeachment II: If at first you don’t succeed.”
In general I think book lacks the depth and verve of the two Woodward books on Trump, and based on this I probably wouldn’t get the other two books by Wolff, but Woodward didn’t cover this period and given the lacuna in decent long form journalism, I recommend this book.
Interesting but punches only land intermittently
