Details Condition: Brand New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781526609090 Publisher: Bloomsbury Overview A Very Stable Genius is the definitive, deeply reported account of Donald J. Trump's presidency, written by two Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post journalists. Drawing on nearly three years of investigation and hundreds of exclusive interviews, Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig expose the chaos, infighting and self-preservation that defined the Trump White House. This gripping paperback is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand modern American politics, offering an unflinching, meticulously sourced narrative that reads like a political thriller while remaining grounded in verified fact. About the Book When Donald Trump declared "I alone can fix it" at the 2016 Republican National Convention, he promised to restore a nation he believed had lost its way. What followed was a presidency defined by scandal, investigation and constant upheaval. In A Very Stable Genius, Rucker and Leonnig cut through the daily noise to reveal the underlying patterns of behaviour that shaped Trump's four years in office. Drawing on more than two hundred sources, including senior administration officials, aides, lawyers and first-hand witnesses who had never before spoken publicly, the authors take readers deep inside the West Wing. They document the aides pressured to lie on the president's behalf, the lawyers scrambling to contain norm-breaking crises, and the staffers whose careers were sacrificed along the way. The result is an unparalleled group portrait of an administration driven by paranoia, loyalty tests and relentless self-interest. Praised as "a damning, well-reported, well-sourced and clearly written haymaker" by the Sunday Times, this book has been hailed as one of the most closely observed accounts of Trump's tenure ever published. Whether you followed the news cycle in real time or are revisiting this extraordinary period of history, this book delivers the receipts b
