About this listen

Michael Wolff, author of the bombshell best seller Fire and Fury, once again takes us inside the Trump presidency to reveal a White House under siege.

With Fire and Fury, Michael Wolff defined the first phase of the Trump administration; now, in Siege, he has written an equally essential and explosive book about a presidency that is under fire from almost every side. A stunningly fresh narrative that begins just as Trump’s second year as president is getting underway and ends with the delivery of the Mueller report, Siege reveals an administration that is perpetually beleaguered by investigations and a president who is increasingly volatile, erratic and exposed.

Michael Wolff is the author of Fire and Fury, the number one best seller that for the first time told the inside story of the Trump White House. He has received numerous awards for his work, including two National Magazine Awards. The author of seven previous books, he has been a regular columnist for Vanity Fair, New York, the Hollywood Reporter, British GQ and other magazines and newspapers. He lives in Manhattan and has four children.

As in Wolff’s previous book and similar ones about the Trump administration, this has a mind-boggling overview of rampant corruption, incompetence and malfeasance, to an almost numbing degree. On almost every page there’s one example of behaviour that would end any other presidency. For that reason, it’s fascinating and compulsive, but also deeply worrying and depressing.

Riveting, depressing, terrifying

Michael Wolff has followed up his excellent Fire and Fury with another insightful inspection into the workings of American political strategy radiating from a White House ruled by a narcissistic special-needs infant who was, unbelievably, elected (well, sort of) President.

This sequel is a wonderful book and the narrator is, again, perfect. The greatest pity is that the people who won’t read or listen to it are the very ones who should - that is, all the easily-duped Trump-suckers who blindly voted him into power in the first place.

And these people still fail to see how they have aided Trump in destroying all the good in America and its respectful standing with every other country on Earth.

A really good follow up to Fire and Fury. Interesting to get an inside baseball look st how some key moments in history played out. And, disappointing that the Muller investigation findings are reduced to just an epilogue. But, perhaps the author is saving that for his third book on Trump? Worth mentioning that the voice over artist was really great - making me laugh out loud numerous times with his impressions.

A good listen

This book is enjoyable but it feels like reading magazine articles. No overarching narrative. Sometimes I had to force myself to focus.

Way too unstructured

An insisive account of the Trump White House. The chaotic and unpredictable behaviour of Trump.

Interesting book
