I am having trouble listening to this. It is not playing properly. Hello, may I please request book one Fireborne please? Thank you and love your site!
THis is a must read book, unfortunately, our country deserves better. How much of this book is factual is something that future historians will have to piece together. But there's no denying the entertainment value of a book like this. Since it's obvious that Wolff let Steve Bannon vent his spleen to get most of the material for this book, we do get a morbidly fascinating look at the White House as a Civil War Battleground between "Globalist" and "Bannonite" factions.
Someone should have clued Bannon in with that line from The Godfather: "Don't ever take sides against the Family. Or maybe not. After all, this is the book that got Bannon exiled from Trumpistan for now. Frankly, I think that we'll have to wait for several years to pass, and the dust to settle, after Trump exits the White House whenever and however that happens to get a thoroughly researched, comprehensive and trustworthy account of his campaign and Administration.
That'll be the basis for "Trump's White House - the Movie. We're up to our ears in gossipy, Mean Girls-esque, "liars lying about other liars" accounts, each with their own highly personal, and biased, snapshot into the White House.
The main point of Recommendation for "Fire and Fury" is that it's the snapshot taken from Bannon's point of view. Because he was however briefly the "Architect of Trumpism" and possibly the single most forceful and influential of the President's flunkies, his account holds more interest for me than the self-pitying, butt-covering screeds of Lewandowski, Manigault-Newman, Christie, or Spicer.
The biggest feat this book achieves is getting me to feel even the slightest bit sorry for Steve Bannon, arguably the loudest and proudest proponent of American fascism since Woodrow Wilson. When Jeff Sessions and James Mattis decide to tell their stories, that will be something I find far more interesting - insights from professionals who went to work for Trump with a sincere effort to uphold the Constitution and do their duty, only to be reviled, spat upon, and flogged out of town by the Trumpites.
I don't pretend for a second that this book is "Essential" or "Indispensable" reporting, if you can even call what Wolff did "reporting. It just crystallizes it into finer detail, with some gasp-inducing quotes. I enjoy this book for what it is: a disgraced Washington power-monger talking smack about all the other power-mongers, sycophants, village idiots, egotistical blowhards, and back-stabbing weasels who flock to Trump like fleas to a dog.
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Probably not. When I began fact checking, I immediately found that the book exaggerated situations. While I am not a Trump fan, I don't want to be misled either.
One example of misinformation is when the author discusses Trump's speech to the CIA. When I compared what the book reported to the entire speech on CNN, it was obvious that the book was editing out, and misrepresenting what was said. Would you recommend Fire and Fury to your friends? No, primarily because of the misrepresenting information. I prefer my journalism to be factual and allow me to make my own opinion.
Did Fire and Fury inspire you to do anything? Be more diligent in fact checking. Any additional comments? Please leave the spin out of journalism, it's hard enough to get to the truth when people are being factual. This is a mistake and significantly reduces The credibility of the book. It would have been better if the author had used his research to make an educated guess on what was going on rather than adding conjecture. Increased ambiguity on such an important issue is disappointing.
This book would have been so much better if the author was able to eliminate his own bias. I am by no means a Trump supporter, but many points in this book are discredited or provably false with simple observation or common sense.
According to this book, Trump is a stumbling, bumbling idiot, who accidentally became president. That is painfully untrue. To claim otherwise takes so much credibility away from this book, which is sad. It is sad because there are, what I am sure are many moments of truth in this book, but it is deluded by its dishonesty. Sadly, a lot of hype prompted me to purchase this book. No doubt there is some exaggeration, but all in all, this book is a yawner. Had there not been so much political noise about this book, many people myself included would never have bought it.
All in all, it was not very good. It was a real waste of time and effort, normally I don't believe in the thought of burning a book but this one should be burned immediately. Add to Cart failed.
