About this audiobook

"[Holter Graham] uses his deep, elastic voice to punctuate key ideas, and he speeds up and slows down to create tension...The result is a wonderful performance of a most important audiobook." — AudioFile Magazine

This program includes an author's note read by Michael Wolff

#1 New York Times Bestseller

With extraordinary access to the West Wing, Michael Wolff reveals what happened behind-the-scenes in the first nine months of the most controversial presidency of our time in Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.

Since Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, the country—and the world—has witnessed a stormy, outrageous, and absolutely mesmerizing presidential term that reflects the volatility and fierceness of the man elected Commander-in-Chief.

This riveting and explosive account of Trump’s administration provides a wealth of new details about the chaos in the Oval Office, including:
-- What President Trump’s staff really thinks of him
-- What inspired Trump to claim he was wire-tapped by President Obama
-- Why FBI director James Comey was really fired
-- Why chief strategist Steve Bannon and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner couldn’t be in the same room
-- Who is really directing the Trump administration’s strategy in the wake of Bannon’s firing
-- What the secret to communicating with Trump is
-- What the Trump administration has in common with the movie The Producers

Never before in history has a presidency so divided the American people. Brilliantly reported and astoundingly fresh, Fire and Fury shows us how and why Donald Trump has become the king of discord and disunion.

More Praise for Fire and Fury:

"Holter Graham, a Baltimore native, actor and veteran audiobook narrator, delivers [this] truly bizarre tale of dysfunction in a composed voice. Where a less confident narrator might have allowed a smirking note to emerge, Graham maintains his poise, subtly picking up the narrative's mood in slight modulations of tone and unobtrusively freighted pauses." Washington Post

“Essential reading.”
—Michael D’Antonio, author of Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success, CNN.com

“Not since Harry Potter has a new book caught fire in this way...[Fire and Fury] is indeed a significant achievement, which deserves much of the attention it has received.”The Economist

Couldn't get past the introduction. Tried reading it twice. Trump and his "friends" are more pathetic than the women in the movie THE WOMEN. I lived in NYC when Trump's businesses all tanked; when he went bankrupt 12 times just to get out of paying people; and all the lawsuits (including not paying the illegal immigrants he hired to build Trump Tower and then refused to pay his lawyer when he lost that lawsuit). I worked in Trump Tower doing a photo shoot and saw his narcissism in action. His dealings with South Korea prove he knows NOTHING about foreign policy and world economics, not to mention revealing one of our most top secret trade agreements to the press. I skimmed through the book several times; I cannot stomach the nonsense and drama Trump causes in his life, and by proxy, all of ours. Trump is a failed businessman narcissist Reality TV Star president. He promised to surround himself with the best of the best businessmen and women and he's got Kanye, Ted Nugent (who adopted his underaged girlfriend so she could live with him), and Dennis Rodman, a man friends with Kim Jung un, the most deadly, murderous dictator alive. Crean of the crop? No wonder this country is in dire straits.

This book reminded me of the Mean Girls' Burn Book. A few titilating quotes from insiders mixed in with already publicly held information. No added insight by the author. Reading it was painful. Writing style, punctuation and sentence structure that wouldn't pass at a high school level. Frequent use of overly large and unknown words was annoying. Reading news coverage about the book is more than sufficient to get the best bits of this book for free.

This book is a masterpiece. It is written and read as a dramatic piece on history, and the reader really gets into some of the figures quoted. Right off the bat, the author explains that the stories he writes about are compilations of what he heard from many people during his visits with White House staff, and many of them may be false. People who are pissed off that the book has some incorrect stories, or even some lies, are pissed off about something that is admitted at the very begging of the book. No one is trying to convince anyone that everything is 100% true. The logic there confuses me, and getting mad and defensive about it seems a little "snowflake"y to me. Anyway, back on topic. The author's description of events makes the audience feel as if we're in the dining room with the campaign staff, as if we're at the presidential meetings or listening in on the phone calls. The stories are extremely entertaining, and the quotes springled in throughout are very well timed and make the text feel more alive. Like I said, this book is a masterpiece, and will keep you gasping, laughing, and wide-eyed from front to back. Thoroughly entertaining and a great insight into how the staff sees itself.
