About this item
From top journalists and the bestselling authors of The Man Who Ran Washington, an ambitious and lasting history of the full Trump presidency.Revered journalists Peter Baker of TheNew York Times and Susan Glasser of The New Yorker tell the inside story of the four years when Donald Trump went to war with Washington, from the chaotic beginning to the violent finale. Baker and Glasser argue that Trump was not just lurching from one controversy to another; he was learning to be more like the foreign autocrats he admired. The Divider is that rare thing, a lasting history that also contains scoops, dozens of exclusive stories from behind the scenes in the White House, from the deadly serious to the absurd--from how close we got to nuclear war with North Korea, to which cabinet members had a resignation pact, to whether Trump asked Japan's prime minister to nominate him for a Nobel Prize.
