The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir by John Bolton
2.0
Painful. Bolton is as self-congratulatory as Trump. If he wasn't so pompous, he could have cut 50 pages of text by eliminating the boasting.
The book is interesting insofar as it tells the background, or at least his version, of many of the stories that flooded the news while Bolton was working for Trump. I say for, not with, because he lacked the backbone to either stand up to Trump or be a whistle blower. Instead he chose to be an author.
Not surprisingly, he is condescending to readers and also plugs his other book. While he continuously writes about what a great job others think he was doing, he fails to advise Trump sufficiently on national security, which was his actual job.
