『Peril』（BOB WOODWARD & ROBERT COSTA）
The book “Peril” by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa offers a thorough analysis of the turbulent last few months of Donald Trump’s administration as well as the activities that preceded and followed the 2020 US presidential election. The writers offer a thorough examination of the political scheming, power battles, and behind-the-scenes disputes that defined this era of American politics.
The book opens with a description of the events that followed the 2020 election, including Trump’s denial of loss and his erroneous accusations of massive voting fraud. In this investigation, Woodward and Costa follow Trump and his supporters as they fight the election results in court and via public appeals, leading up to the deadly uprising at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The writers of the book provide insights into the inner workings of the Trump administration as well as the relationships among important figures, including members of Congress, Trump, and his advisors. They look at how Trump acts erratically, how he tries to get state officials to reverse the election results, and how people respond to him.
The book also explores the handoff of power to the Biden administration, focusing on the difficulties that President Joe Biden and his administration had in trying to rule following a worldwide epidemic and a sharply divided country. Behind-the-scenes stories of Biden’s cabinet nominations, early policy choices, and initiatives to tackle urgent problems like COVID-19 and racial inequality are given by Woodward and Costa.
In “Peril,” Woodward and Costa use in-depth interviews with significant characters and access to private records to give readers a thorough and engrossing account of a country in turmoil. The book provides insightful analysis on the condition of American democracy, the brittleness of political institutions, and the long-term effects of Trump’s administration on the political climate in the nation.
