內容簡介
內容簡介 由揭穿美國政治史上最大醜聞「水門案」的記者Bob Woodward和獨立記者Robert Costa,親自採訪當時政權交接時200多名核心人物,當時,他們竭盡全力阻止一件事情發生:川普引發美國內戰。 同時,他們也深入拜登接任美國總統後的核心想法,包括他較為保守的作為,例如撤軍阿富汗,以及在前任總統的陰影下,面對措手不及的新冠疫情與全球經濟蕭條,拜登與執政團隊如何制定因應措施,同時也點明未來將一一浮現的更多艱困挑戰。 The storming of the Capitol on 6 January 2021 revealed the transition from President Trump to President Biden to be one of the most dangerous periods in American history, with the result of the election called into question by the sitting president. But, as internationally bestselling author Bob Woodward and acclaimed reporter Robert Costa reveal for the first time, it was far more than just a domestic political crisis. At the highest level of the US military, secret action was taken to prevent Trump from possibly starting a war. Woodward and Costa interviewed more than 200 people at the centre of the turmoil, resulting in a spellbinding and definitive portrait of a nation on the brink. They take readers deep inside the Trump White House, the Biden White House, the 2020 campaign, and the Pentagon and Congress, with vivid, eyewitness accounts of what really happened. Peril is supplemented throughout with never-before-seen material from secret orders, trans of confidential calls, diaries, emails, meeting notes and other personal and government records, making for an unparalleled history. It is also the first inside look at Biden’s presidency, revealing the background to his controversial decision to leave Afghanistan. He took office faced with the challenges of a lifetime: dealing with the continuing deadly pandemic and its crushing economic impact, all the while navigating a bitter and disabling partisan divide, and the hovering, dark shadow of the former president. ‘We have much to do in this winter of peril,’ Biden declared at his inauguration.
