Bob Woodward Rage-愤怒

作者：Bob Woodward

书名：Rage《愤怒》

作者简介：鲍勃·伍德沃德出生于美国伊利诺伊州。1965年，从耶鲁大学毕业后进入海军服役，在1970年退役后进入《华盛顿邮报》成为了一名实习记者。1972年，鲍勃·伍德沃德与另一名记者卡尔·伯恩斯坦通过其内线“深喉”的情报及协助，率先披露了水门事件丑闻，从而迫使总统尼克松下台，名噪新闻界。

中文简介：这本书根据他与特朗普 18 次有录音的采访，以及与前国防部长吉姆 · 马蒂斯、前国务卿雷克斯 · 蒂勒森和前国家情报局局长丹 · 科茨等人的交谈所获得的信息而写成。

CNN 评价，《Rage》可能是伍德沃德继披露水门事件的“All the President’s Men”以来最重要的作品。书中披露了许多信息，足以说明，特朗普早在 2 月份，甚至更早就知道疫情的严重性，但是却选择隐瞒真相。

英文简介：BOB WOODWARD'S NEW BOOK, RAGE, IS AN UNPRECEDENTED AND INTIMATE TOUR DE FORCE OF NEW REPORTING ON THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY FACING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, ECONOMIC DISASTER AND RACIAL UNREST. Woodward, the No 1 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 17 on-the-record interviews with Woodward over seven volatile months - an utterly vivid window into Trump's mind - the president provides a self-portrait that is part denial and part combative interchange mixed with surprising moments of doubt as he glimpses the perils in the presidency and what he calls the 'dynamite behind every door'. At key decision points, Rage shows how Trump's responses to the crises of 2020 were rooted in the instincts, habits and style he developed during his first three years as president. Revisiting the earliest days of the Trump presidency, Rage reveals how Secretary of Defense James Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats struggled to keep the country safe as the president dismantled any semblance of collegial national security decision making. Rage draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with first-hand witnesses as well as participants' notes, emails, diaries, calendars and confidential documents. Woodward obtained 25 never-seen personal letters exchanged between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who describes the bond between the two leaders as out of a 'fantasy film'. Trump insists to Woodward he will triumph over Covid-19 and the economic calamity. 'Don't worry about it, Bob. Okay?' Trump told the author in July. 'Don't worry about it. We'll get to do another book. You'll find I was right.'
