    La historia del presidente Trump como solo Bob Woodward podía contarla.

    Con la autoridad de haber informado a lo largo de ocho presidencias, desde Nixon hasta Obama, Bob Woodward revela con un detalle sin precedentes la horrible verdad del día a día en la Casa Blanca del presidente Donald Trump, precisando cómo es su toma de decisiones en las principales políticas internas y exteriores. Woodward analiza cientos de horas de entrevistas a fuentes de primera mano, notas de reuniones, diarios personales, archivos y documentos. El libro hace especial hincapié en los polémicos debates y en las decisiones que se toman en el despacho oval, la sala de situaciones, el Air Force One y en la residencia oficial de La Casa Blanca.

    Miedo es el retrato más íntimo sobre un presidente en activo jamás publicado anteriormente durante sus primeros años en la Casa Blanca.

      This book was depressing and terrifying. It does an excellent job of laying out how incredibly UNFIT this man is to be president of the United States. It made me sick to my stomach in places to read what an ignorant racist he is, even though I already knew from reading the news. Gross. But good book.
    • 5/5
      Typical of Bob Woodward: fully researched and reported, impeccable sources, thoroughly damning to Trump. Special counsel Robert Mueller probably used this book as evidence in his investigation of Trump. Woodward brought down Nixon. Now he is going to bring down Trump.
    • 3/5
      Think that's me done for now with books about 45. Found the section about trade tarriffs surprisingly interesting, and how China have effectively weaponised theirs - able to pinpoint at a state by state level, with the ability to influence politics inherent in that
    • 4/5
      Impeccable research .Woodward seems to be a fly on the wall of many meetings during Trump’s presidency. And Trump emerges as a bullying narcissist, who is unable/unwilling to read or listen. A man completely lacking in empathy, who believes that the only thing that matters is $$$$$$$ . This account isn’t The West Wing.
    • 4/5
      Early encounters and experience with Donald Trump and staff from the first couple of years in the White House are recorded in this collection of incidents and issues. Woodward is a multiple Pulitzer Prize winning author best known for his work with the Nixon-Watergate scandal. He writes very few personal opinions, instead letting the record speak for itself with direct quotations and recordings.
    • 4/5
      The book is very well written. The author deserves 5 stars, but my disdain for the main character affects my judgement. My apologies
    • 1/5
      This isn't a book. This is a collection of stories made primarily for the media to pull excerpts from. No effort is made to give any of the conversations in this book any context.

      Woodward had a golden opportunity here to write a book that actually means something, but it's little more than a loosely coupled pile of stories.
    • 3/5
      So... fake news or not? Although it seems to stem from interviews from the principles involved or were fired or quit, it is hard to determine what is truth and what is merely the perception of those interviewed. the anecdotes shared were eye-opening and I am sure most of them are factual. Kinda scary!!!
    • 3/5
      I enjoy reading Bob Woodward's longform journalism and reporting because it's written well and simply. Woodward covers topics and situations by chapter and we get an inside look at how Trump managed or rather, "tried" to manage these crucial situations, and struggled to do so.
      For me, part of the enjoyment in reading this book was the affirmation of what a shit show his administration really was.
    • 3/5
      I'd just suggest you read this regardless of where you stand. Actually make up your own mind instead of having your thought overlords telling you what to think.
    • 4/5
      There was so much about this book in the news when it came out that I wondered how much was left for me to discover. Well, a lot. My husband was reading this on vacation and wanted me to read it quickly so that we could talk about it together. One thing my husband brought up is how Rob Porter is portrayed in the book - almost as a hero. He figures prominently for about 200 pages of the book, ostensibly one of the only people trying to hold Trump back from his worst behavior; when he resigns, it garners about half a page - I was a bit disappointed about the light treatment of him in the end - I mean he resigned because of accusations of domestic abuse from his two previous ex-wives, and they had photos.And actually that's a point about the book - there's no salacious stuff. It doesn't even mention the relationship between Hope Hicks and Porter, for example.Also, I found that Woodward jumped around a lot in the book, without transitions - I was like, oh, OK, we're going to talk about that now...The book starts in 2010 when Steve Bannon firsts meets Trump and ends when Trump's attorney Dowd resigns because Trump was planning on testifying to Mueller, against Dowd's advice. The detailed part of the book starts in August 2016 and goes through March 2018. I wasn't that surprised with a lot of the stuff in the book because I've seen Trump behave the way the book describes, because of all the leaking out of his administration and finally because of all the press this book got when it came out. What I guess was surprising is how denigrating he was of people in his administration, how badly he treated people; also, he didn't care about any facts that were presented to him, if they were not supporting his already developed opinion, which he would never change. Facts be damned - of course, this shouldn't really be surprising as this president lies more than any other (reference politifact.com). I think Bob Woodward was trying to be as balanced as he could be - he seemed to be giving Trump a lot of credit for how charming he was when he would call the families of fallen military; what's weird is some stuff that was covered in the news about how Trump bickered with the widow of La David Johnson who was left behind to die in Niger, wasn't in the book. So, I was surprised about that.Anyway, with everything that keeps coming out after more and more people are making plea deals with Mueller, I kept running across stuff in the book that led to a lot of 'a-ha' moments, and "it's all making sense now."It's definitely worth a read.
    • 4/5
      An in-depth look at the Trump administration from a reporter known for his sources. While much of this book felt like reliving the years 2016 to 2018, depth and behind-the-scenes knowledge was new. Woodward does a good job digging up those stories and sorting through the different versions. He also puts forward a more complex image of Trump than one would get from watching the nightly news. There's plenty in the book and the final story isn't one that quite fits either the Republican or Democratic narrative of the presidency.
    • 3/5
      I has already heard many parts of this book due to the coverage on the news, however it was interesting to read through the whole passages on my own. I found the writing a bit disjointed and was surprised at how Woodward jumped from one topic to another without transition - this was surprising to me (thought Woodward's writing style would be more sophisticated). Scary to think this is our president and our current administration!
    • 4/5
      Scary. Confirms through research what we hear nightly on many news outlets.
    • 3/5
      FEAR, by Bob Woodward, is an excellent rough draft of history, this history being the rise of President Donald Trump and his first year in office. It would be an easy book for Trump’s acolytes and sycophants to dismiss as “fake news,” and call it a smear job, except that to read but a few pages is to know that Woodward brought all of his reporter’s skill to bear, and got people – especially people close to Trump – to talk about what they saw and heard. Conversations are recounted verbatim, and details are recalled that could only have come from people in the room. And some common threads emerge, threads that knit a portrait of man as ignorant as he is supremely self-confident, as self absorbed as he is devoid of any motivation other than self interest of the moment, lacking any moral center; in its place, a savage cunning, a keen eye for opportunity, and a finely honed ability to spot weakness. This proved to be enough to elect Donald Trump President in 2016, and make possible what came after.Woodward’s book, which comes in at just over 350 pages in hardback, is presented in a series of anecdotes that touch on the greatest hits of the early Trump era: the Access Hollywood tape, the capitulation of the Republican establishment, the Muslim travel ban, the firing of James Comey, the border wall, Charlottesville, North Korea, illegal immigration, tariffs, Syria, NATO, and tax cuts. And time and again, we see one high ranking member of the administration after another utterly fail to reign in the President, who rules by whim, impulse, and tweet. But hanging over it all, is the shadow of Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and the question of collusion. Toward the end of the book, the spotlight is increasingly on lawyers and the special prosecutor, as serious questions are raised as to the possibility that the President of the United States conspired with a hostile foreign power to gain the office. Of course, Woodward cannot give us any definitive answer, but the one thing he does definitively prove is that Trump is a liar, one who is quite capable of committing any of things he is alleged to have done.Behind Trump is many a name from the news: Reince Priebus, Kellyanne Conway, John Kelly, Rex Tillerson, Gary Cohn, H.R. McMaster, Michael Flynn, John Dowd, Rob Porter, Hope Hicks, Jeff Seissons; along with Trump’s children and son on law, Jared Kushner. All of them in some way come to grief in their dealings with their President, some much more than others. But I must admit that I gained some grudging admiration for Steve Bannon, for though his politics are abhorrent, he read the political landscape in 2016 better than anyone else, and almost alone except for the candidate, saw the road to victory over Hillary Clinton when everyone else had given the Republican candidate up for dead. Most of these people were sources for Woodward, clearly determined to get their side of events out before the public as fast as possible. Sadly, FEAR, is already dated, as the events it covers have faded into the past, and most of the participants who are still part of the administration at the end, have left since publication. But have no fear, there will no doubt be sequels, and sequels to the sequels before the Age of Trump ends.
    • 4/5
      This well-researched book gives background on events both before and after the 2016 presidential election. Many of the players from early in Trump's presidency have already left the stage, but I'd still recommend the book to anyone who'd like to understand a bit more about how we've gotten to this point.
    • 4/5
      I didn't expect to sit down and read this from cover to cover, but I did. (Full disclosure: I was snowed in.)Woodward is such a damn good reporter (no surprise here). Many reviewers here said it was a good read but they didn't really learn anything new. Although I'm a faithful news reader and watcher, I learned a lot--about how Trump thinks, how he interacts with the staff trying to help him, and the way he makes decisions.None of which was reassuring.
    • 5/5
      For those of us who have watched our government go about an incredible attack by the person in charge at the moment, Woodward provides an up close view that steps inside the doors of the White House with the people closest to Trump. We see him with his actual words and people's actual descriptions --- it's been out there in the news but this gives a better framework and timeline at the same time it provides a somewhat better understanding of how people think who try and work with Trump. Unfortunately, the book is being read by those who already agree that he should never have been put in this position and it is not being read by those who would learn, perhaps, but once again, not believe, the "truth" about "their president."
    • 4/5
      An important book for all Americans to read, no matter to which side of the aisle your allegiance runs. It gave me a better understanding of the day-to-day headlines and news tags that can cause so much angst among the public. It is not a quick and easy read and one must have the desire to really understand the current White House in order to finish the book, but it is a worthwhile endeavor. Don't sell yourself short by acquiescing to any of the many "short-hand" books that purport to give you the entire picture of this book.

      5596. Fear Trump in the White House, by Bob Woodward (read 18 Nov 2018) This is the 9th book which Bob Woodward authored or co-authored which I have read. It covers the first portion of the Trump time in the White House, up to about mid-year in 2018. It tells many things about discord and infighting in the Trump Administration. I think it is probably accurate, though one is surprised that Woodward would be told some of the things he sets out. But nothing we know about Trump makes anything in the book unlikely. In other words the things the book says appear to be what Trump and the people around him would do and say. But the book is so episodic that we have to guess at what occurred after what we are told. And sometimes the telling is not of anything really interesting. But overall one does fear for our country with such a person as Trump as president. These are dangerous times and one hopes the country can survive them without catastrophe
    • 4/5
      Well-written but no surprises. At least not if you've been following the news through anything passing for a reliable source and have any instinct at all for people. It is, however, interesting to see it all laid out in a cohesive and linear fashion and to see the daily news reports fleshed out with human detail. There are definitely insights to be gained.
    • 5/5
      Nearly two years into the Trump presidency, the only truly surprising aspect of Bob Woodward's inside look into this atypical (to say the least) administration is how unsurprising are all of the surprise revaluations within. Trump has worn himself on his sleeve since he rode an escalator into the primaries, and the only people who claim he is anything else beyond the cultural running joke of the last four decades are the people who have supported and defended him for exactly those reasons.Like Woodward's previous works, Fear is exhaustively researched and documented; the last 20% of the book is comprised almost entirely of footnotes and sources. Those proclaiming that Fear is little more than "fake news" willfully ignore the fact that at least half of the material in this book is a matter of public record, and there isn't a passage about Trump's actions or behavior that feels out of character or beyond the realm of possibility.Fear doesn't necessarily expose the Trump administration as much as it confirms what we've already experienced, helping to reject the hopeful mantra taken up by more and more people as a psychological defense, "This can't really be happening." Woodward reminds us that it is, and expertly makes us face our Fear.
    • 4/5
      This is the first book on the inner workings of Donald Trump's administration that I have read. I chose this book because I believe Bob Woodward's reputation assures that he will provide the most unbiased report possible in this hyper-partisan environment. The book provides a frightening look into the Trump Whitehouse and into the mind of our president. Some parts seemed repetitive but I believe that was due more to the repetitive nature of conversations in the Oval Office than to poor editing.
    • 4/5
      Reading this, I often felt: what a glutton for punishment I am! Not because it isn't an excellent book (it is), but because it adds more and more facts about what we already know about this man and what he is doing to our democracy. It seems like Woodward has talked with everyone and, even more impressive, has induced everyone to talk to him. Sometimes I felt the organization could have been tighter, but all in all, excellent.
    • 4/5
      So anyway I've never read any of Woodward's books before. I was kind of expecting a takedown of the Trump administration and IMO I don't think this quite does it. To be honest I think Woodward was more than fair to Mr. Trump in his book and yeah there are the parts where Cohn and Porter are stealing documents off his desk and there's the nifty snake, lion, rabbit analogy of the chaos within from Priebus and then Trump's lawyer John Dowd's thoughts that he (Trump) is a fucking liar and should avoid at all costs testifying on his own behalf because he'll be almost assuredly be caught in a perjury trap. Pundits everywhere jumped all over bits like these but really there isn't that many of them and honestly I think Woodward has a bit of sympathy for Trump. Just to go back to Dowd--yeah, his thoughts are that Trump lies but he also very much seems to think that Mueller is engaged in a witch hunt---possibly just to get back at the POTUS for firing Comey or at least that is the insinuation that I got out of it. Personally I detest Trump and will be out on Nov. 6 voting for the democrat for congress. I doubt she's going to win as our congressional seat has been pretty red for a long time but you do what you can do. Woodward paints a picture of a politically naive but a somewhat savvy businessman with a history of cutting corners. I have no doubt that there are all kinds of criminal activity to be found investigating the Trump organization. Truth is I have no doubt that you could say the same about GE, GM, Raytheon, Boeing, any major bank especially investment banks, the Clinton Foundation and we can go on and on. Mueller's particular animus towards Trump's showing up his FBI might well be part of the story but if the criminal activity is there well my opinion is he should pay--but that said Mueller should then go to the others or at least as many as he can. Mueller's animosity by the way though doesn't exactly come across all that well--at least to me though I'm a big fan of law enforcement. So anyway strangely and I think it needs to be said there were occasions (not many) reading this book where I found myself in agreement with the Donald. For instance his wanting us out of Afghanistan. Again and again he is talked out of pulling the troops out by Mattis, Kelly and McMaster. These former very high ranking military officers are so concerned about saving face. They know that we cannot win. They are holding out for the day that the Taliban comes to them willing to negotiate and 'it's all bullshit' is what Trump tells them over and over. I liked the book. It's not exactly what I expected but it's very readable. I don't think Woodward set out to rake Trump over the coals. He's as deferential in this book as he is in the audio clip explaining to Trump the hows and whys of how it came about without Trump's own input. IMO it's no hatchet job if that's what anyone is looking for.
    • 5/5
      Woodward provides what the previous tell-all White House books lack, serious reporting and documentation. The story hasn’t changed, it shows the US president as a person lacking the skills necessary to be president.
    • 4/5
      Well written and thorough, but ultimately too depressing to keep reading past the 30% mark.
    • 3/5
      A collection of vignettes with detailed dialog. It is the detailed dialog that bothers me. It is one thing to quote your source, but it is another to quote the players in the room when you're not one of them. Were they being recorded? I think not. I'd feel somewhat better if the book presented the scenes as 'this' being the gist of the conversation, not that this was the exact conversation. Otherwise nothing is a surprise here because the media leaked all the juicy bits before the book was released to the public. I ended up feeling "is that all there is?" because of the early news cycles covering the book.
    • 4/5
      Very much a Woodwardian book: a series of barely-connected vignettes without much narrative structure to hold things together. Like most other Woodward books recently, nearly all of the good bits get leaked before publication, too, so most of the surprise was already gone by the time I got my copy. That said, there still seemed to be plenty of opportunities to provide frightening insights into the operations of the Trump administration.
    • 4/5
      If you're looking for the juicy bits, you've read them already or hear them read on news broadcasts. For me, the value of this book is Woodward's detailed accounts of how the Trump White House works and of who holds what beliefs. It is a disturbing portrait of an Executive Branch with no set process for decision-making or policy formulation, one where people whose chief qualification for governing is that they are Trump family members or Trump loyalists.
