About this listen

From Michael Wolff, author of the explosive, number one best seller Fire and Fury, comes the mesmerizing story behind the most bizarre melt-down in recent American political history.

The decline and fall of Rudy Giuliani, from “America’s Mayor” to public spectacle, has all the makings of a modern Shakespearean tragedy. Those who know Giuliani, whose tough leadership and even tougher politics helped revitalize New York City in the 1990s and lead the country through 9/11, have stood by and watched with incredulity as he put himself at the heart of impeachment charges against the President.

In The Tragedy of Rudy Giuliani, Michael Wolff uncovers just what happened to the iconoclastic former mayor, and reveals how his apparent self-destruction frames some of the great political questions of the age: How have evidently unstable people come to have such success in institutional politics? How have the mean and nasty achieved such heights in a system that has valued – insisted on – likeability and conventionality?

a very absorbing analysis of Giuliani's manic role in assisting Trump and himself to make money and stay central. a frightening reflection on the psychodrama of the period.

incisive story, well written and spoken

I have all Michael Wolffs books about Donald Trump on audio and I like his style of writing and his often laugh out loud humour. This brief look at 'Americas Mayor' has uncovered a nasty piece of work in Rudy Giuliani. Some reviewers have commented on the narration and to begin with I also found Michael Wolff voice slightly off putting. However 5 minutes in and it was perfect for the writing style - as I guess it would be. The lengths that Giuliani and other major players went to and continue to go to just to hold power is is truly breathtaking. Incompetence does not get in the way of achievement and the details that are drawn out by Micheal Wolff seem more in sorrow than in anger. There is quite a lot written elsewhere about Giulianis prosecution of the Mafia in New York and of course 9/11 so he is not an unknown figure. Always ready to self promote - truthfully or not - Guilianis self-aggrandising is is very evident in this profile. Well worth a listen

a real decline and fall....

if it is "narrated by the author then the narration usually sucks". This reading does not alter the rule.

I have a rule of thumb,

This is a good short listen. if your interested in the trump situation. it's a short listen, if I had had to pay for it I might have felt I needed more.

Included in new bundle, worth a listen
