With authoritative reporting honed through eight presidencies from Nixon to Obama, author Bob Woodward reveals in unprecedented detail the harrowing life inside President Donald Trump’s White House and precisely how he makes decisions on major foreign and domestic policies. Woodward draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand sources, meeting notes, personal diaries, files, and documents. The focus is on the explosive debates and the decision-making in the Oval Office, the Situation Room, Air Force One, and the White House residence.

An Apt Title
Évalué le: 2025-02-17
I really wish I didn’t have to always write 15 words in a review. Some books, not because of the book, but because if it’s content, just do not deserve 15 words. Trump does not deserve my time, yet it is FEAR itself that drove me to listen to it. The book was great, but the topic itself, is loathsome.

Woodward, the number-one international bestselling author of Fear: Trump in the White House, has uncovered the precise moment the president was warned that the Covid-19 epidemic would be the biggest national security threat to his presidency. In dramatic detail, Woodward takes readers into the Oval Office as Trump’s head pops up when he is told in January 2020 that the pandemic could reach the scale of the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed 675,000 Americans.

In 1990, while serving a sentence in San Quentin for armed robbery, Jarvis Jay Masters was implicated as an accessory in the murder of a prison guard. A 23-year-old Black man, Jarvis was sentenced to death in the gas chamber. While in the maximum security section of Death Row, using the only instrument available to him—a ball-point pen filler—Masters's astounding memoir is a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit and the talent of a fine writer.

A wonderful book that depicts how in large part, innocent children can be so scarred, not only by their families, but also by the systems charged with making things better for them. Heartbreaking is the one word that comes to mind; just heartbreaking😢

In April 1944, Rudolf Vrba became one of the very first Jews to escape from Auschwitz and make his way to freedom—among only a tiny handful who ever pulled off that near-impossible feat. He did it to reveal the truth of the death camp to the world—and to warn the last Jews of Europe what fate awaited them. Against all odds, Vrba and his fellow escapee, Fred Wetzler, climbed mountains, crossed rivers, and narrowly missed German bullets until they had smuggled out the first full account of Auschwitz the world had ever seen.

A MUST READ FOR ALL
Évalué le: 2024-06-25
I thought this was an amazing overview of the life of this very brave man who helped save the lives of many Jewish people, thereby giving them the opportunity to procreate and keep their race alive and well. It is mind-boggling to me how any person could ever treat another human with such evil and disregard for human life, as not just the Nazis, but others invoked upon the Jewish people at this point in history. It deeply saddens me, but I am so grateful the author took the task of writing this book on.
We need to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive and we all need to learn from this. None of us are safe in this world from atrocities such as these people suffered. What can turn seemingly normal human beings into such monsters? We need to do better, we must do better, and keeping the Holocaust alive in our memories and history is a key component of this.
The author does a tremendous job of developing the main character in the story, depicting his intellect, his spirit, his sometimes misguided anger, abruptness or roughness. This helps us to understand the the heart and soul from which Walter (Rudy) operated. He depicted strength of the human spirit few of us could ever hope to achieve. I wish I had met him and known him. It would have been such a privilege to learn from a man such as this. Having said that, we are given the opportunity to do that on another level through this work.
Finally, I really appreciated the mention of documentaries, other texts and scholarly works woven throughout the story, that one can look to for further history on the Holocaust.
To the author, many thanks for your wonderful work!!

On October 1, 1993, a 12-year-old girl was kidnapped at knifepoint from her bedroom in Petaluma, California, during a sleepover with two friends, while her mother slept soundly in the room next door. This rarest of all kidnappings—a stranger abduction from the home—triggered one of the largest manhunts in FBI history. New York Times bestselling author Kim Cross has written the first comprehensive account of what happened on that fateful night in October, as well as how the case forever transformed the Bureau’s approach to solving crimes.

FASCINATING CASE REVIEW & MORE!
Évalué le: 2024-06-04
This was a fascinating and heartbreaking review of all that can go wrong and all that can go right in the abduction and murder of a child. I loved the detailed researched review of this case and the historical review of other cases, changes to forensic and other legal practices and laws that were beautifully woven into the Polly Klass case. I appreciated as well the reference to how some cases receive such national and international attention, while others get very little, often based on race, color, life situation, financial status and more. We need to do better. Every child; every human deserves better. Thank you for a very well researched, educational and informative overview of all of the above.

It was a mistake to trust him. Shivering and bruised, a teen wakes up on the side of a dirt road with no memory of how she got there—or who she is. The police don’t know where she came from until a frantic man arrives at the station. He’s been searching for her for hours. He has her school ID, her birth certificate, and even family photos.

TEENS WOULD LOVE IT!
Évalué le: 2024-06-04
I believe teens would love this book. I myself am far from a teen, and although I enjoyed the book, I did find it a bit repetitive at times, though overall it kept my attention making me want to find out the ending (unexpected for sure). The story was mainly plausible but a bit Nancy Drew at times (now you can guess my age LOL). Having said this, I do believe it would make a great Netflix movie. The narration was great!

AMAZING BOOK!!
Évalué le: 2024-04-08
I love this author who is brilliant, and clearly takes his time with the books he writes. His personal humility comes out in the pages of his books. He seems to have an intimate knowledge of everything he writes about making the story lines, as with this one, warm, engaging and believable. The characters are wonderful and each is unique. I should have written the review right after I read it as I would have more to say, but I loved it and will likely read it again after a few years because it is just so darn good!

Spanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on South India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala’s long-existing Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time.

Letting Go describes a simple and effective means by which to let go of the obstacles to enlightenment and become free of negativity. During the many decades of the author's clinical psychiatric practice, the primary aim was to seek the most effective ways to relieve human suffering in all of its many forms. The inner mechanism of surrender was found to be of great practical benefit and is described in this book.

DID NOT FINISH IT ... BECAUSE I NEED TO READ IT!
Évalué le: 2024-04-08
I was really enjoying this book, but there are so many helpful tidbits in it, that I found myself making clip after clip and note after note, thus I felt in this case I needed the physical book! I am looking forward to reading it, underlining it, and making side notes that I can easily go back to. I believe I will then listen to the full book and update the review then! However, I clearly support this book!
