Synopsis "Rage"

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 #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 firsthand 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."

Bob Woodward (nacido en Geneva, Illinois, en 1943) es un periodista, escritor y editor estadounidense, considerado uno de los grandes referentes del periodismo de investigación moderno. Su nombre está estrechamente ligado al escándalo Watergate, que investigó junto a Carl Bernstein para The Washington Post a principios de la década de 1970. Las revelaciones de ambos sobre las actividades ilegales del gobierno de Richard Nixon llevaron finalmente a la dimisión del presidente en 1974 y les valieron el Premio Pulitzer en 1973.

Woodward se caracteriza por su minucioso trabajo de documentación, su estilo analítico y su capacidad para obtener información de primera mano de las fuentes más altas del poder político. A lo largo de su carrera, ha escrito numerosos libros sobre la Casa Blanca y la política estadounidense, muchos de ellos basados en entrevistas y documentos confidenciales. Entre sus obras más conocidas están All the President’s Men, The Final Days, Bush at War, Fear: Trump in the White House y Rage.

Como periodista de The Washington Post, Woodward ha mantenido su influencia durante más de cinco décadas, siendo un símbolo del periodismo independiente y de la búsqueda incansable de la verdad en el ámbito político y gubernamental.
