The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir by John Bolton
4.0
John Bolton has caught a lot of flack for not testifying at the impeachment hearings in early 2020, however, if you read this book, he makes it very clear that he was prepared to testify if they had sent a subpoena. Some people may say that he should have testified without a subpoena, but getting the subpoena was self-protection much like that of other people who waited for a subpoena before testifying.
Bolton offers a very clear and professional take on his time in the White House - giving insight on who said what and their reasoning. Take the time and read this book to get a full understanding of a Trump White House, at least from the National Security point of view. I agree with him when he says that upper-level government officials have a responsibility to explain to the public why they did what they did and that is just what Bolton did. He even explained his resignation and how he felt during the impeaching hearings.
Highly recommend for those who would like to peer into what has been happening in Washington since Trump's inauguration from the perspective of an insider.
