The second part of the book is primarily focused on first-hand interviews with Trump and the unravelling coronavirus crisis during While Woodward presses Trump repeatedly on the latter issue in a vain attempt to show why tying military aid to Ukraine with a probe into the business dealings of the son of his political rival Joe Biden caused such consternation, the author also played down the significance of the former.
Nevertheless, the book demonstrates how Trump was in a strong position after his impeachment acquittal by the Senate. The interviews with Trump are set out in all their excruciating detail. The president is portrayed as a disorganized personality who falls back on a few well-established prejudices on security, alliances and trade that will be familiar to most readers.
Woodward himself comes across as a frustrated, sometimes hectoring and often perplexed interviewer. The president is shown to be almost enamoured with the despot, a trend towards authoritarianism that comes out in other parts of the book. As for the US relationship with North Korea, for all his histrionics Trump has little to show for four years of psychodrama with Kim. The later interviews show how Woodward repeatedly seeks policy clarification on the response to the pandemic, with the president seemingly unwilling to accept the dire reality of the situation.
The strength and weakness of the book are essentially the same: the access to the president. Yet, reading the interview material can be frustrating.
Although the author skilfully structures the narrative, the book contains less analysis than its predecessor, which had no interviews with Trump. The implications of the midterms, for instance, are not discussed. Rage is an important book. Woodward is a master craftsman who skilfully guides the reader through the maelstrom of the Trump presidency, although some may be left wanting more discussion.
Although this is not the definitive book on the Trump presidency that is still to be written , Rage is a key addition to the literature on the subject. His research is focused on conceptualising the ways that the US and the UK attempt to embed impunity for violations of international law into their national security operations.
He is also interested in US politics more generally, with a particular focus on presidential power and elections. He has worked for the European Stability Initiative, a think-tank in Brussels, lectured at several universities in London and currently lives in Frankfurt am Main.
