Fire and Fury – Michael Wolff

Few presidencies have begun with as much drama and controversy as that of Donald Trump. In Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, journalist and media commentator Michael Wolff offers an account of the administration’s turbulent first months, based on what he describes as extensive conversations with people inside and around the White House.

Wolff describes the surprise of the 2016 election result, the chaotic transition and the early days of the administration, focusing on the rivalries and power struggles among senior figures, including chief strategist Steve Bannon, chief of staff Reince Priebus, and the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner. He covers major events of the period, such as the travel ban, the firing of FBI director James Comey and the appointment of a special counsel.

The book attracted enormous attention on publication and became a bestseller, partly because of its dramatic portrayal of the president and his staff. It also generated significant controversy. The White House disputed many of its claims, and other journalists and commentators questioned the accuracy of some details and Wolff’s reporting methods.

Fire and Fury is a widely discussed book for readers interested in American politics and recent history. Given the disputes over its accuracy, readers should approach it critically and may wish to compare it with other accounts of the period.
