Rage by Bob Woodward

5.0

There's a reason Bob Woodward has won two Pulitzer Prizes and all of his 20 books have been best sellers. He is a helluva reporter. You can argue that Woodward should have made public much earlier the fact that the president downplayed COVID-19 early on to avoid panicking the American public. Woodward probably should have written a news story about that. But the fact remains that Woodward is the only reporter who enticed the president to say that. And his book, while not all about the COVID response, is a telling portrait of a man ill equipped to be president of the United States. Trump supporters probably won't read the book and, if they do, likely will discount it. But those who keep an open mind will agree with Woodward's conclusion that Donald Trump is not the man to hold the job of president.
