This book investigates the drivers, tactics and strategy that propel the Trump administration's foreign policy. The key objective of this book is to look beyond the 'noise' of the Trump Presidency in order to elucidate and make sense of contemporary US foreign policy. It examines the long-standing convictions of the president and the brutal worldview that he applies to US foreign policy; and his hard-line negotiation tactics and employment of unpredictability to keep America's major foreign interlocutors off-guard, such as NATO members, China, Mexico, Canada, North Korea and Iran - each of which are considered here. In strategy terms, the book explains that the president is responding to a new multipolar structure of power by engaging a Kissingerian strategy that eschews liberal values and seeks to adjust great power relations in Washington's favour. By drawing upon a range of evidence and case studies, this book makes a number of compelling and provocative points to offer a new vector for debate about the workings, successes and failures, and ultimately the long-term implications for the world, of the Trump presidency.

"Depuis l'élection de Trump, le monde a changé. L'arrivée à la tête des Etats-Unis de ce magnat de l'immobilier a bouleversé les équilibres mondiaux et entériné le recul des relations internationales, à tel point qu'il pourrait être irréversible. L'abandon du leadership qu'avaient exercé tous ses prédécesseurs sans aucune exception a créé les conditions propices à des situations extraordinairement préoccupantes et menaçantes pour l'ordre mondial : fin du multilatéralisme, durcissement des frontières, compétition commerciale exacerbée, réarmement généralisé, fragilisation des grands traités mondiaux, ébranlement de la démocratie et de ses institutions, etc. L'ensemble de l'architecture du système international repose sur la mise en oeuvre d'une diplomatie américaine engagée et soutenue. Un monde qui en serait exempt deviendrait instable. La présidence Trump, dit-on souvent, est atypique. Sur de nombreux plans, à l'évidence, elle constitue un tournant dans l'histoire. Mais qu'en est-il des effets de cette politique à l'échelle internationale ?"

The author 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, he 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, this book 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, the book 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. The book draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with first-hand witnesses as well as participants' notes, emails, diaries, calendars and confidential documents. The author 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.'

Thanks to the special perspective that is the legacy of a Soviet childhood and two decades covering the resurgence of totalitarianism in Russia, the author has a sixth sense for signs of autocracy - and the unique cross-cultural fluency to delineate its emergence for Americans. This incisive book provides an indispensable overview of the calamitous trajectory of the past few years. The author not only highlights the corrosion of the media, the judiciary, and the cultural norms we hoped would save us but also tells us the story of how a short few years have changed us, from a people who saw ourselves as a nation of immigrants to a populace haggling over a border wall, heirs to a degraded sense of truth, meaning, and possibility. This book is an inventory of ravages but also a beacon to recovery - or to enduring, and resisting, an ongoing assault.
