Unbelievable: My Front-Row Seat to the Craziest Campaign in American History by Katy Tur

adventurous informative medium-paced

4.0

This book has been sitting on my kindle for years and here I am finally reading it in 2024. I figure it’s an election year so it fits with the theme of the year at least.

Having the privilege to know the full scope of what the Trump presidency looked like, a lot of the information in this book isn’t shocking anymore. In fact most of the comments or moments Katy Tur captured seem tame by comparison to what we know in the present day (January 2024). But this is still a fascinating book offering a peek at what it’s like to be a reporter on the campaign trail and especially following an erratic and unpredictable candidate. 

If you like history, politics, or the bizarre train wreck that is Donald Trump this is an insightful read.
