Breaking History

A White House Memoir

By: Jared Kushner

Narrated by: Sean Pratt, Jared Kushner

Jared Kushner was one of the most consequential presidential advisers in modern history. For the first time, he recounts what happened behind closed doors during the Trump presidency.

Few White House advisors have had such an expansive portfolio or constant access to the president. From his office next to Trump, senior adviser Jared Kushner operated quietly behind the scenes, preferring to leave the turf wars and television sparring to others.

Now, Kushner finally tells his story—a fast-paced and surprisingly candid account of how an earnest businessman with no political ambitions found himself pulled into a presidency that no one saw coming.

Breaking History takes readers inside debates in the Oval Office, double-crosses at the United Nations, tense meetings in Arab palaces, high-stakes negotiations, and the daily barrage of leaks, false allegations, investigations, and West Wing infighting.

A true historical thriller, this book is not your typical political memoir. Kushner details Washington’s intense resistance to change and reveals how he broke through the stalemates of the past. An outsider among outsiders, Kushner was a results-driven executive among beltway power brokers. He questioned old assumptions and delivered unprecedented results on trade, criminal justice reform, production of COVID-19 vaccines, and Middle East peace. His successful negotiation of the Abraham Accords, the most significant diplomatic breakthrough in 50 years, earned him a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Written by one of the few people by Trump’s side from his trip down the golden escalator to his final departure from Andrews Air Force Base, Breaking History provides the most honest, nuanced, and definitive understanding of a presidency that will be studied for generations.

Eye opening

I learned so much! Thank you Jared and Ivanka for your dedicated service to our country. Lesser people would have and did walk away. Your acknowledgment of God and his hand in all that was accomplished gives everyone an insight and inspiration that even to day there are miracles if you are humble enough to look. Thank Heavenly Father for you and your family, Thank you for your unwavering service. I pray you will find rest,love,success satisfaction and peace.

Fascinating

I am very impressed by this book. Listening to it gave me a different perspective into the Trump administration. They sure accomplished a-lot. The middle east peace process seemed like a miracle to me watching it unfold in 2020. After reading this book, now I understand why it was successful. I hope we get more competent people like Jarad Kushner running our country. The talk less. And do more. I also think the book helped me understand Trump a little more.

First Step Act and Abraham Accords

Jared had opportunity to work on Trump’s campaign promises (Border Security) yet CJ Reform was personal (his Father) as was Abraham Accords.

History will look favorably on his innovative approach with Middle East Peace, perhaps in 100 years.

Yet Trump didn’t run on these things, did he?

Powerful, Truthful and Very Informative

Great narration of the inside workings of the Trump presidency. A great perspective from someone close to the president reflecting on the Trump accomplishments not the drama that surrounded all of his presidency. Kushner seemed as truthful as they come.

Fantastic book

Excellent writing and story. Intriguing to learn all that went on behind the scenes.
Mr Kuchner is a true hero and Patriot. We need more men like him!
