Story
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Churchill by Andrew Roberts, read by Stephen Thorne. Winston Churchill towers over every other figure in 20th-century British history. By the time of his death at the age of 90 in 1965, many thought him to be the greatest man in the world. There have been over a thousand previous biographies of Churchill. Andrew Roberts now draws on over 40 new sources, including the private diaries of King George VI, used in no previous Churchill biography, to depict him more intimately and persuasively than any of its predecessors.

Story
Here is Trump in action—how he runs his organization and how he runs his life—as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and challenges conventional thinking. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest accomplishments; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker's art. And throughout, Trump talks—really talks—about how he does it.

However, as with all great political plans, some animals see a bigger share of the rewards than others and the animals start to question their supposed utopia.

What is "the big lie" of the Democratic Party? That conservatives - and President Donald Trump in particular - are fascists. Nazis, even. In a typical comment, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow says the Trump era is reminiscent of "what it was like when Hitler first became chancellor." But in fact, this audacious lie is a complete inversion of the truth. Yes, there is a fascist threat in America - but that threat is from the Left and the Democratic Party.

Donald Trump is unlike any president we've ever had. He is the only person ever elected to be commander in chief who has not first held public office or served as a general in the military. His principles grow out of five decades of business and celebrity success - not politics - so he behaves differently from traditional politicians.

Summary
In the tradition of Theodore White's landmark books, the definitive look at how Donald J. Trump shocked the world to become president.
From Roger Stone, a New York Times best-selling author, longtime political adviser, friend to Donald Trump, and consummate Republican strategist, comes the first in-depth examination of how Trump's campaign tapped in to the national mood to deliver a stunning victory that almost no one saw coming.
In the early hours of November 9, 2016, one of the most contentious, polarizing, and vicious presidential races came to an abrupt and unexpected end when heavily favored presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton called Donald J. Trump to concede, shocking a nation that had, only hours before, given little credence to his chances. Donald Trump pulled the greatest upset in American political history despite a torrent of invective and dismissal of the mainstream media. Here is the first definitive explanation about how the "silent majority" shifted the election to Donald Trump in reliable Democratic Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, thus handing him the presidency.
Stone, a longtime Trump retainer and confidant, gives us the inside story of how Donald Trump almost single-handedly harnessed discontent among "Forgotten Americans" despite running a guerrilla-style grassroots campaign to compete with the smooth-running and free-spending Clinton political machine.
From the start Trump's campaign was unlike any seen on the national stage - combative, maverick, and fearless. Trump's nomination was the hostile takeover of the Republican Party and a resounding repudiation of the failed leadership of both parties whose policies have brought America to the brink of financial collapse as well as endangering our national security.
Here Stone outlines how Donald Trump skillfully ran as the anti-Open Borders candidate as well as a supporter of American sovereignty and how he used the globalist trade deals like NAFTA to win over 3 of 10 Bernie Sanders supporters. The veteran adviser to Nixon, Reagan, and Trump charts the rise of the alt-conservative media and the end of the mainstream media monopoly on voter-impacting information dissemination. This is an insider's view that includes studying opposition research into Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton's crimes and the struggle by the Republican establishment to stop Trump and how they underestimated him.

A Recap with a few interesting passages
The bulk of this is just a blow for blow recap of the 2016 US election, there are however a few very interesting bits. The lies of Ted Cruz, Huma's background and possible spy link, the investigation into Stone, and the background of the criminals and ringers brought in by the DNC in a failed attempt to bring down Trump's campaign. Probably worth about £10.99 at best, but not full RRP. will be an excellent historical resource in years to come though.

Interesting perspective, but a bit fawning
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I would strive for a more objective view of the Trump campaign and election.Stone seems to think that Trump walks on water and any criticism of him is fearmongering by a 'far-left elite' (his term). His view is made very clear when discussing the other GOP candidates; he makes it clear that at least three (Trump included) had no previous electoral experience but then says that Trump was the 'only true outsider' with little explanation of what he means by this. I wanted a fair assessment, and it is interesting to hear a pro-Trump view, but is so clearly a devotee of Trump that his view very quickly becomes tiresome. At one point, he even suggests that Trump was sent by God to fix America's economy!
Would you recommend The Making of the President 2016 to your friends? Why or why not?
I would. It is interesting as a 'first draft' of history written by an insider but it's claims need to be taken with a large pile of salt.
Have you listened to any of BJ Pottsworth’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I haven't but he does a very good job here, he's an engaging reader.
Do you think The Making of the President 2016 needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Yes, either an insider view of the Clinton campaign or a more holistic and objective view of the election as a whole.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Absolutely, it explains more about what President Trump did for years to prepare himself to run in the 2016 election. Knowing who the other players in the election were and what they did to not win the final vote reassures that we made the right choice...we picked a very intelligent winner.

This was a very good book to listen to. I used to hear it when I walked every morning. It is an extremely honest story about the election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States. What I like listening to are the facts behind the scenes--and they are presented to the listener in this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an in depth-unbiased and honest view of the recent election.

I followed and took part in the 2016 election. Yet, I was unaware as to how much more was going on behind the scenes and just how much I had missed. Roger Stone is spectacular and it brings me just more joy to realize that Donald J. Trump is the 45th President of the United States of America! #KAG2020
