Rage by Bob Woodward
3.0
One thing I noticed in this book and in "Fear" is Woodward's reliance on sources. Unfortunately, I think he relies too heavily on them and allows his sources to paint themselves in the best light. It's easy to know who his sources are because they get a huge amount of positive detail about their thoughts and feelings. No context is provided, so if his sources thinks something is a good idea, Woodward doesn't challenge it.
Woodward gets tunnel vision on certain issues, like foreign policy (perhaps because those are his sources) and dedicates a huge amount of time to them while completely ignores everything else. This book is remarkable for the number of interviews Trump did with him, however because Trump has no self-awareness these interviews don't provide much insight.
This was a quick and mostly enjoyable read but it didn't tell us that much new.
