Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff


  • With so much drama about this book, I decided to pick up a political book.  This is unusual for me.
  • According to Wolff and his sources, the White House is composed of many strong and rotating personalities that don't play well together.  These figures usually put personal issues ahead of the nation's.  
  • This book also confirms what was perhaps only an hunch before... that many of Trumps policy actions (via Twitter) are not planned or communicated to coordinating agencies before hand.
  • Side note: Oddly there are many nicknames in this book that White House staffers assign to each other as a part of the in-fighting (e.g. Javanka).
  • Second side note: Thanks to KCPL I read this book as an eAudiobook on Overdrive.  Surprisingly, I found that 1.6x speed to be optimal.
