Leaders & Notable People
The inside story of the four years when Donald Trump went to war with
Washington, from the chaotic beginning to the violent finale, told by
revered journalists Peter Baker of The New York Times and Susan Glasser of
The New Yorker—an ambitious and lasting history of the full Trump
presidency that also contains dozens of exclusive scoops and stories from
behind the scenes in the White House, from the absurd to the deadly
serious.The bestselling authors of The Man Who Ran Washington argue that
Trump was not just lurching from one controversy to another; he was
learning to be more like the foreign autocrats he admired. The Divider
brings us into the Oval Office for countless scenes both tense and comical,
revealing how close we got to nuclear war with North Korea, which cabinet
members had a resignation pact, whether Trump asked Japan’s prime minister
to nominate him for a Nobel Prize and much more. The book also explores the
moral choices confronting those around Trump—how they justified working for
a man they considered unfit for office, and where they drew their lines.The
Divider is based on unprecedented access to key players, from President
Trump himself to cabinet officers, military generals, close advisers, Trump
family members, congressional leaders, foreign officials and others, some
of whom have never told their story until now. Read more
