Peril

Written by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa

Narrated by Robert Petkoff

The transition from President Donald J. Trump to President Joseph R. Biden Jr. stands as one of the most dangerous periods in American history.

But as #1 internationally bestselling author Bob Woodward and acclaimed reporter Robert Costa reveal for the first time, it was far more than just a domestic political crisis. Woodward and Costa interviewed more than 200 people at the center of the turmoil, resulting in more than 6,000 pages of transcripts—and a spellbinding and definitive portrait of a nation on the brink.

This classic study of Washington takes readers deep inside the Trump White House, the Biden White House, the 2020 campaign, and the Pentagon and Congress, with eyewitness accounts of what really happened. Intimate scenes are supplemented with never-before-seen material from secret orders, transcripts of confidential calls, diaries, emails, meeting notes and other personal and government records, making Peril an unparalleled history. It is also the first inside look at Biden’s presidency as he began his presidency facing the challenges of a lifetime: the continuing deadly pandemic and millions of Americans facing soul-crushing economic pain, all the while navigating a bitter and disabling partisan divide, a world rife with threats, and the hovering, dark shadow of the former president.

Reviews for Peril

[HeatherBroman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Really good breakdown of the timelines, events, and conversations happening leading up to, during, and after the year 2020. The comparison between the Trump and Biden presidencies is stark.

[Dustin Hutchinson · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I liked most of Woodward other books. This wasn't worth the time except a few intresting sections .Mostly just a left hit piece

[vanroesa · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very good, insightful book. Well written. A history book that will be looked at in the future.

[vladimiro sousa · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This book, like others with Bob Woodward, is very informative and illustrative. We get a good picture of events and people in it. Also carries out the stamp of great journalism, made not to amuse or have more likes but to become a "first draft of History". I think a historian of tomorrow will love these books. They provide an objective picture of the “man in the arena”.

[Jared Lampman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Thoroughly researched and seamlessly presented. Highly recommend this to ANYONE.

[Craig · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It is a very well researched and compelling book that shows just how close the US came (and still remains) to fundamentally changing the nature of its institutions.

Watching democracy on a precipice is very, very scary. Hopefully this too shall pass….

Remarkable masterpiece! Very detailed account of how democracy was on the chopping block. (Still is)

[Betty Bennett · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Scary stuff. There needs to be change in WA DC. Wheeling and dealing while the country collapses. We need to make changes. Term limits, limit the bills to a single proposition and make it public

[DiannaJohnson · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Horse feathers! Liberal BS. Is that all this SCRIBD app has? Apparently. I'd give in ONE STAR but the app forces me to give two stars. There ya' go. Commies, hope you're enjoying yourselves.

Typical writings from lying
libtards who are not honest there
