As President Trump’s National Security Advisor, John Bolton spent many of his 453 days in the room where it happened, and the facts speak for themselves.

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

“I can’t believe I’m saying this: it’s worse than I even imagined.” – Stephen Colbert

“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

3,0 von 5 Sternen Auspicious beginning and protocol-like continuation
Rezension aus Deutschland vom 11. Juli 2020
A review of "The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir" by ambassador John R. Bolton.

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.
