The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir Gebundene Ausgabe – Illustriert, 23. Juni 2020
Kaufoptionen und Plus-Produkte
The result is a White House memoir that is the most comprehensive and substantial account of the Trump Administration, and one of the few to date by a top-level official. With almost daily access to the President, John Bolton has produced a precise rendering of his days in and around the Oval Office. What Bolton saw astonished him: a President for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation. “I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn’t driven by reelection calculations,” he writes. In fact, he argues that the House committed impeachment malpractice by keeping its prosecution focused narrowly on Ukraine when Trump’s Ukraine-like transgressions existed across the full range of his foreign policy—and Bolton documents exactly what those were, and attempts by him and others in the Administration to raise alarms about them.
He shows a President addicted to chaos, who embraced our enemies and spurned our friends, and was deeply suspicious of his own government. In Bolton’s telling, all this helped put Trump on the bizarre road to impeachment. “The differences between this presidency and previous ones I had served were stunning,” writes Bolton, who worked for Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43. He discovered a President who thought foreign policy is like closing a real estate deal—about personal relationships, made-for-TV showmanship, and advancing his own interests. As a result, the US lost an opportunity to confront its deepening threats, and in cases like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea ended up in a more vulnerable place.
Bolton’s account starts with his long march to the West Wing as Trump and others woo him for the National Security job. The minute he lands, he has to deal with Syria’s chemical attack on the city of Douma, and the crises after that never stop. As he writes in the opening pages, “If you don’t like turmoil, uncertainty, and risk—all the while being constantly overwhelmed with information, decisions to be made, and sheer amount of work—and enlivened by international and domestic personality and ego conflicts beyond description, try something else.”
The turmoil, conflicts, and egos are all there—from the upheaval in Venezuela, to the erratic and manipulative moves of North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, to the showdowns at the G7 summits, the calculated warmongering by Iran, the crazy plan to bring the Taliban to Camp David, and the placating of an authoritarian China that ultimately exposed the world to its lethal lies. But this seasoned public servant also has a great eye for the Washington inside game, and his story is full of wit and wry humor about how he saw it played.
Pressestimmen
“As much as you think you know about the arrogance, vanity and sheer incompetence of Trump’s years in the White House, Bolton’s account will still astonish you... No wonder the White House was so determined to block this book.” – David Ignatius, Washington Post
"A scathing and revelatory account... indispensable, jaw-dropping, and specific...what a truth he offers us." – The New Yorker
“Bolton's bombshell book shows it's still possible to be shocked by Trump's presidency” – The Guardian
“Mr. Bolton’s volume is the first tell-all memoir by such a high-ranking official who participated in major foreign policy events and has a lifetime of conservative credentials. It is a withering portrait of a president ignorant of even basic facts about the world, susceptible to transparent flattery by authoritarian leaders manipulating him and prone to false statements, foul-mouthed eruptions and snap decisions that aides try to manage or reverse.” – The New York Times
“The most substantive, critical dissection of the president from an administration insider… lays out a long series of jarring and troubling encounters between the president, his top advisers and foreign leaders.” – Washington Post
“A book full of damning details” – The Economist
“Explosive” – Business Insider
“Devastating portrait” – Telegraph
“Eye-popping” – CNN
"Jarring" – Jake Tapper, CNN
"Shows the scale and depth of Trump’s depravity and corruption." – The Atlantic
"A service to the nation... There is no question that this book contains explosive revelations that could well have an impact on the election." – Thomas Wright, The Brookings Institute, The Atlantic
“The details are damning.” – Fareed Zakaria
“The most devastating indictment yet.” – Nicolle Wallace
“A harrowing portrait” – Mother Jones
"Absurdly entertaining" - Ben Domenech, The Federalist
“A riveting read” - Trevor Noah, The Daily Show
"The most important White House memoir yet to emerge from the Trump administration" – National Review

Sollte man sich die Mühe machen, fünfhundert Seiten zu lesen, aus der Feder eines Falken? Die Antwort ist eindeutig Ja! Es lohnt sich, wie sich kaum ein Buch der letzten Jahre gelohnt hat. Und dafür gibt es gleich mehrere Gründe. Zum einen wird die Leserschaft Zeuge über die Organisation und die Personalpolitik im Hause Trump. Zum anderen wird sehr deutlich, nach welchen Interessen und Maßstäben die Politik der USA betrieben wird. Da geht es immer, wiederholt immer, um Macht, um Ressourcen, um Geostrategie. Bolten schreibt darüber in der Kühle und Klarheit eines Menschen, wie er nach dem Fürsten Machiavellis modelliert sein könnte. Und zu diesen Informationen kommt noch eine besondere Note die Beschreibung des Individuums Trump, mit seinen Neigungen, Orientierungen und erratisch erscheinenden Entscheidungen.
Die Organisation des Weißen Hauses geht anders vonstatten als bei allen vorherigen Präsidenten. Das, was man als einen tradierten Wechsel innerhalb gesetzter Organisationen beschreiben kann, wurde außer Kraft gesetzt durch ein Beziehungsgeflecht, das den volatilen Launen des Präsidenten entsprechend immer wieder neu geformt wird. Ergebnis: Chronische Instabilität und die wachsende Neigung zu Hofintrigen.
Die ausführliche Schilderung der US-Politik gegenüber China, Russland, Syrien, Iran und Nord-Korea belegt die These von der Exklusivität des machtpolitischen geostrategischen Primats. In diesem Lichte erscheinen die misslungenen Deutungsversuche einer bis zur Unkenntlichkeit geschredderten Presse als das, was sie sind: das Ende eines kritischen, investigativen Journalismus. Da sind die Zeilen des Falken nahezu eine Erholung. Im Falle Venezuelas, eher einem Randgebiet seiner Schilderungen, wird das alles jedoch wie bei einer schönen Klavieretüde deutlich. Da wurden Kandidaten für den Regime Change gekürt, da wird darüber spekuliert, ob der amtierende, gewählte Präsident ermordet oder außer Landes geschafft werden soll und da wird das Regiebuch für den Putsch geschrieben. Und natürlich, da geht es um Öl und die unerwünschte Präsenz von Russen und Chinesen vor der Haustür.
Donald Trump, der in der hiesigen Berichterstattung zu einer grotesken Satirefigur verkommen ist, wird differenziert betrachtet. Seine Fähigkeit, die geostrategische, machtpolitische Relevanz schnell zu erfassen korrespondiert mit dem Willen, Beschlüsse zu fassen und schnell umzusetzen. Die besondere Note des Stils von Trump zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass er alles im Lichte von Deals sieht, die geschlossen werden sollen und die sich messen lassen, vor allem monetär. Und Trump hat eine klare Agenda: er will alles, was er vor der Wahl versprochen hat, auch umsetzen, wie zum Beispiel den Abzug der Truppen aus Syrien und Afghanistan zeigen. Daraus abgeleitet sind die auch für den Betrachter Bolton merkwürdigen persönlichen Beziehungen, die Trump zu denen entwickelt, mit denen er Deals machen will. Da will er ein aus seiner Sicht bestehendes Vertrauen nicht zerstören, auch wenn es sich um Diktatoren handelt.
Boltons Buch ist das Lied eines Falken. Hören Sie zu!
Gerade weil Bolton ein klassischer "Falke" ist, ist es bemerkenswert und interessant zu lesen, wie er und all die anderen Proponenten an Trumps erratischer "Entscheidungsfindung" leiden und zuletzt scheitern. Dass hier die klassische US-Weltpolizisten-Politik niemals kritisch hinterfragt wird, und als quasi naturgegeben angenommen wird, ist nicht gesondert zu erwähnen. Das Buch ist nicht kurzweilig und sicher keine allzu leichte Kost, aber wirklich interessant und gut geschrieben. Zu erwähnen ist, dass ca. 40 Prozent des Kindle-Buchs nur aus Fußnoten bestehen, also nicht schrecken.
John Robert Bolton served as National Security Advisor for U.S. President Donald Trump from April 2018 to September 2019. He held several high-profile positions in earlier US administrations. For instance, Bolton served as the 25th United States Ambassador to the United Nations from 2005 to 2006.
The book starts promisingly and in the first few chapters awakens the reader's curiosity about what he will find out. Unfortunately, Bolton could not keep up this momentum after the first few chapters. Slowly but surely the book gets into a "default" meeting protocol. At some point, the story evolves into a meticulous and chronological list of events in the White House and abroad during Bolton's tenure. One can designate it a "diary style" work.
Bolton is not interested in conveying a coherent message. He does not even try to. The first two chapters were interesting to read, it got increasingly a protocol-like listing of the events from there. The only exception is the statement that Donald J. Trump was a President for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered. "I am hard-pressed to identify any significant Trump decision during my tenure that wasn't driven by reelection calculations."
As far as I'm concerned, I bought and read the book purely due to private and professional interest in foreign policy. Actually, I was not expecting or hoping for any kind of sensational revelations about President Donald J. Trump. Ambassador Bolton describes some processes exactly as I imagined them to be. I say that completely neutral. People and personalities are different and that is reflected in their approaches and actions. Not, that I consider Donald J. Trump's conduct on a diplomatic and personal level appropriate, but it's not for me to judge.
Bolton spends a lot more time projecting his personal world views than talking about Donald J. Trump and his administration. Repeatedly Ambassador Bolton tends to be arrogant as he gives the impression of being the only one who exactly knows how things have to go and how to handle them correctly. Apart from this, he often stresses the fact being an established figure on the diplomatic level, which is probably true. Everyone prefers to deal and negotiate with people they know, that's obvious.
It may sound harsh, if the book was not on the market, I would assume it is kind of an attempt to put something together because the topic was "hot" and en vogue right now. In short, personally I did expect more from such a seasoned diplomat and political professional on the world stage.
It was good to read the book of John Bolton anyhow as it is interesting to get a detailed account of the events happening in the world and the imminent impact on the people in the Trump Administration as well as the "official" reaction from the White House. The book provides numerous examples of "decision-making" on political issues within the Trump Administration regarding foreign policy. It provides insights to how political decisions were made by the "Trump" White House administration.
To conclude this review in a conciliatory way, despite the lengthy parts of the text, in particular where events are listed one after the other in a protocol-like fashion, I am glad to have read the book by John Bolton. Alongside with shedding light on some recent events at the White House in Washington, it taught me a lot about John Bolton and the way he thought and acted throughout his tenure as a National Security Advisor in the Trump Administration as well as his personal political views.
