Publisher's summary

Veteran White House reporter April Ryan thought she had seen everything in her two decades as a White House correspondent. And then came the Trump administration. In Under Fire, Ryan takes us inside the confusion and chaos of the Trump White House to understand how she and other reporters adjusted to the new normal. She takes us inside the policy debates, the revolving door of personnel appointments, and what it is like when she, as a reporter asking difficult questions, finds herself in the spotlight, becoming part of the story. With the world on edge and a country grappling with a new controversy almost daily, Ryan gives listeners a glimpse into current events from her perspective, not only from inside the briefing room but also as a target of those who want to avoid answering probing questions. After listening to her new audiobook, listeners will have an unprecedented inside view of the Trump White House and what it is like to be a reporter Under Fire.

Riveting.

She is a testament that fighting the good fight can be threatening to the insecure and to bullies. We shall not be moved from the path of righteousness!

Awesome

This is the 1st book I've read by this author. It's a good read, very informative about her tenure at the WH, how government is supposed to work & the policies that come out of the WH. She writes of historical events & how those events effect today's society. She writes how journalism is being diminished through the presidential years of 45 and her endurance of his criticism as a Black Female Reporter in the WH, along with the daily death threats. It's really an awesome read.

Though the narrator did a good job, I still think the author's voice would have been more impactful.

Eye Opening

Though I liked the Narrator I would have loved the author narrate her own book because I feel the passion would have resonated with me more. However this book opened my eyes to so many things and I commend her for writing her truth and standing with grit despite the opposition. Thank you thank you.
