Publisher's Summary

New York Times best-selling author of Fire and Fury and Siege completes the trilogy on the epic presidency of Donald J. Trump. 

With Fire and Fury, Wolff defined the first phase of the Trump administration; in Siege, he wrote an explosive account of a presidency under fire. In Landslide, Wolff closes the story of Trump's four years in office and his tumultuous last months at the helm of the country, based on Wolff's extraordinary access to White House aides and to the former president himself, yielding a wealth of new information and insights about what really happened inside the highest office in the land, and the world.

Hilarity and insight

Such a fascinating and well written insight with a few laugh out loud moments near the end. Amazing to see how things at the top can operate with incompetence like anywhere else.

Voice from the sample is not the narrator

The book is not bad but a bad thing is that after listening to a sample I decided to purchase the book, only to realize later that the voice from the sample is not the one narrating the book. Not a good strategy for an audio book. Voice is everything here.

Delightfully grim and snipey

Michael Wolff’s trilogy of books on the Trump presidency are energetic, engaging and filled with memorable and audacious anecdotes. Landslide is a more than worthy conclusion to these accounts and more jaw-dropping than the others.

Fire and Fury saw Wolff receiving unwise access to the White House, and Siege had him relying on inside sources due to the fallout from publication of the first. Landslide sees Wolff ultimately in conversation with the man himself in addition to the sources he has on the inside.

It’s hard to tell if Wolff is writing the book as a way of airing personal grievances (such as Lord Ashcroft’s biography of David Cameron) or simply a keen sense of journalistic seediness abs spectacle. It almost certainly is not out of a sense of ethical or moral compunction. But whatever the case it comes across as catty but entirely plausible if you’ve followed the news during the presidency. But either way it makes it a far easier read (or listen) than Woodward’s Rage which feels more professional and balanced, but dull.

We are taken from the election, to the election loss to the capitol riots and the bumbling legal fallout, ending with Trump settling into life at Mar-a-lago. It’s detailed and comprehensive with some shocking if unsurprising revelations. It’s maybe not 100% reliable, but it’s definitely amusing and believable.

The performance is acceptable and quite expressive, though it feels like occasionally there is a misinterpretation of some of the direct quotes. Whatever the case, it keeps your attention even if the narrative doesn’t, which it will.

Was he really that that woeful?

Ok, I do not like Trump, his character (from what I’ve seen and heard in the media) or his politics. As such, this book already had an eager and excited set of ears waiting. What I heard was even more than I could expect in relating the last days of the Trump presidency, his delusions and his dealings with his hangers on. To that point it was extremely entertaining and even eye opening.
That leaves me, however, with the feeling that maybe it was just too one-sided. Could he really have been that bad and that narcissistic? Honestly? How could he have stayed in power for four years behaving like that? Surely the American ‘system’ couldn’t allow a person who seemed to think he was a dictator to have that much influence, could it?
So there is my problem. I massively enjoyed the book, but I have a slight nagging feeling that I have not been given a fair representation of some of the facts. That is why I can only give 4 stars.

Perfect match of author and narrator

A true guilty treat of a listen, with a sensational read by Holter Graham. While much of the material is broadly familiar to your average US political junkie, it’s the mind-boggling detail and in-the-room vibe that lifts this account. And the whole Impeachment 2 saga is a priceless piece of comic writing. I also appreciate that Wolff is so resolutely not po-faced - he’s having faaaaar too much fun to start wringing his hands. I mean yes Trump is palpably mad, but he’s also fathomlessly entertaining. Still - please don’t elect him again!

the best of the trilogy

I don't live in the USA but have been fascinated by the last 4 years. I thought I was pretty informed as I avidly read the American news every day but this book provides so much detail that I was not aware of.

This is the best book I have read so far regarding the Trump presidency.

The burning question for me that the book doesn't Answer?
Why has Giuliani not been indicted for the insurrection? He's obviously the key architect for the Big Lie and should be held as accountable as Trump in my opinion.

Very detailed on the background to the election

I've got the other two books Wolff has done on Trup and I'd say this one is the best. It will be interesting how this holds up against the other books on Trump that are coming out over the next few months.

Interesting but punches only land intermittently

The most worrying part of this book was in one of the interspersed audio clips of Trump speaking (and that’s a great technical trick which enhances the listening experience), when he’s laying out a litany of electoral offences and actually sounds coherent and reasoned. There is no fact check following to dismember the allegations - which have been thoroughly debunked elsewhere. I found that a jarring omission, strange in a book the central tenet of which seems to be that Trump was so out of his depth that he couldn’t possibly have intended for the events of January 6th.

Overall the book is great. It is slightly repetitive, emphasising (often times without necessarily providing any quotations or sense that the view taken is based on conversations with players in the political drama) the unreality of the idea that Trump could get the election overturned. In that sense, while it carpets Republicans for toadying to Trump, it also lets them off the hook, because it was all just theatre, none of it meant anything, “go back to bed America, your government is in control again.” But this doesn’t detract from some of the most powerful elements, like the black comedy of narrating the voices of those who stormed the Capitol, or the absolutely surreal conversations between Trump’s legal people in “Impeachment II: If at first you don’t succeed.”

In general I think book lacks the depth and verve of the two Woodward books on Trump, and based on this I probably wouldn’t get the other two books by Wolff, but Woodward didn’t cover this period and given the lacuna in decent long form journalism, I recommend this book.

After this, read Ian Kershaw

"Hitler, the Germans and the Final Solution."

Trumps playbook is amazing, considering that he doesn`t read books. The similarity to
the strategy of Hitler in the twenties and thirties is incredibly and equally scaring.
"Fake charisma" is dangerous and the final solution may be catastrophic.

Not The Best

Listened to both previous books. Writing not as good as the other two, seems rushed and that the author has an axe to grind with Trump. Get the impression that this is the authors own opinion of what happened rather than what actually happened and seems biased. Disappointed as I really enjoyed the other two books. Performance great as always.

Fascinating insights

Glimpses into an unfolding situation involving a self centred, lonely, narcissist who surrounded himself with sycophants, traitors, desperates, social climbers and greedy self serving cockadoodles. It is horrifyingly fascinating but ultimately a great story.

Scary stuff

There's pretty much two (very polarised) views on Trump by now. The view that he's an awful and incompetent person is one, and on the (diminishing) flipside, there are still people turning mental gymnastics in order to justify and re-author a narrative where he's competent.
I evidently fall in the first camp, but it's still hard to find the line between these two sides where the truth sits.
In this book Wolff has seemingly sourced a wealth of first hand material, and it's very illuminating and scary stuff. He doesn't try to pretend he's an impartial party, which both detracts a little from the book but also gives it a lift through some really barbed observations.
If even a portion of this book is accurate, we should all probably consider ourselves lucky that things weren't worse. By the end days the only people left were the panderers and maneuverers trying to ring the last drops of money and fame from this broken administration.
Sadly, this book will be preaching to the choir - I can't imagine a Trump fan finishing this book, or even starting it. Overall, worth a listen. At the very least you can be certain that it's not your normal, slightly dry political memoir - it's utterly bananas at times.

a horror tale and a fantastic listen

I am only unsure of the accuracy Jan 6 run up. I am sure he researched it well, and the author's take is plausible but the evidence we all saw of the event, particularly Jr's selfie video of the party-like excitement of the Trump family backstage before the speech sending the mob to the Capitol, indicates that they all hoped for the results the got. no one gets that giddy over a normal speech. they knew and must have had more involvement than this book suggests. Update: the recent news about the attempt to get the DOJ involved in the coup attempt lends credence to my early thoughts that the author was not given accurate info on the WH involvement. I hope he is able to update the book when more news is uncovered.

trump lets wolff discredit him again

like him or, like myself, loathe him trump is larger than life. could be a greek god - perhaps of vengeance, pettiness or disalllusion. cant get enough of these stories and leaking. no idea how he stays popular amongst his base. fingers crossed this extreme form of politics loses traction here in aus

Worth reading

I have read a lot of Micheal Wolff political books about trump and enjoyed them, this was no exception.
An enlightening account of the goings on inside the White House & amongst Trumps cronies during the lead up & after the 2020 election

Misses the point of impeachment

The author seems to miss the point of impeaching Trump a 2nd time. It wasn't to shame him. It was for history. A criminal like Trump can't be let off scot free.

Great book

Incredibly well researched fly on the wall stuff following the last days of Trump presidency. You could not write this as a fiction book it would be considered ridiculous. The story as detailed in the book by M Wolff is sometimes hilarious, often bizarre confronting and finally terrifying as Trump might just defy logic and all odds again to get reelected in 2024

How does Michael Wolff get all this stuff?

It is clear from page one that Michael Wolff is not Donald Trump's greatest fan, but then neither am I so I was able to settle down in my own private echo chamber for eleven hours and gorge on an anti-Trump rollercoaster.

And what a ride! We get an insight in the mind of the world's most famous narcissist, fake news, alternative facts and sycophantic lackies.

Yet there is an element of compassion in there too. We understand that Trump was not necessarily the guy in charge during the fateful events of 6th January 202. Trump was as astonished as everyone else the way things turned out.

The real value of this book is that despite Wolff's antipathy towards Trump, he allows the reader to draw a middle line between those who worship him and those who believe he is the mastermind behind every evil act on the planet. (Trump's just not smart enough to do half the things he's accused of like planning an attack on China!)

Great entertaining book but not recommended if you are of the MAGA persuasion!

A fly on the wall of a flaming catastrophe.

I loved this book.

Excellent insider examination of the greatest idiot of our time. Frightening, hilarious, devestating, unbelievable reality that is The Apprentice....I mean ...White House.
2+2=5. Trump won. 7/11 didn't happen.

Another interesting chapter in the story

I listened to the other Michael Wolff Trump books but for some reason I wasn't too enthusiastic about getting this one. maybe because I thought there want much more to say on the subject. I was glad I was wrong about that. The inside story was, once again, very interesting. The narration was excellent and the audio clips of real-life speeches really added to the experience.
