Critics Review
‘Washington’s most eminent journalist dissects his first term and…concludes he is simply “the wrong man for the job”. In a devastating critique..he lambasts him for revelling in “perpetual rage”. A riveting read.’ – Tony Rennell * Daily Mail *
‘Even in a news landscape where it feels like nothing is shocking anymore, the first excerpts from the new Bob Woodward book still landed like a pair of hydrogen bombs.’ * Vanity Fair *
‘Rage may be Bob Woodward’s most important book since All the President’s Men.’ – Peter Bergen * CNN *
‘The book possesses more than a patina of similarity to the famous televised interviews between David Frost and Richard Nixon, the president Woodward and Carl Bernstein brought down with their reporting on Watergate nearly a half-century ago.’ * Guardian *
‘Woodward’s prose offers readers that delicious, vicarious sense of being an insider, right there in the room with Bob, a witness to presidential sulks and boasts.’ – Rosa Brooks * Washington Post *
’[T]his revealing look at an embattled presidency facing a pandemic, racial unrest and a suffering economy…the book’s details have been explosive.’ * USA Today *
‘Rage is essential reading for anyone hoping to understand Trump.’ – Walter Clemons * New York Journal of Books *
‘Damning… Unlike most Trump tapes, Woodward’s actually tell us something new about the president, rather than just confirming what we think we already know.’ – Michelle Goldberg * New York Times *
