I fail to see who books like this are even for. It’s already outdated!  If you’re interested in politics, you already know 90+% of this and probably won’t be swayed by it. 

Also, it’s not like anything in here is a shocking revelation. I pay attention to American politics (unfortunately) and some behind-the-scenes descriptions of Anthony Blinken meeting with foreign leaders are about all you’ll get out of this.  Woodward is skilled at writing a moderately exciting narrative, though, and this is easy to read at least. 

I can’t even blame trumpies for thinking this is pro-Joe propaganda (because it is, let’s be real).
