About this listen

Michael Wolff, author of the bombshell best seller Fire and Fury, once again takes us inside the Trump presidency to reveal a White House under siege.

With Fire and Fury, Michael Wolff defined the first phase of the Trump administration; now, in Siege, he has written an equally essential and explosive book about a presidency that is under fire from almost every side. A stunningly fresh narrative that begins just as Trump’s second year as president is getting underway and ends with the delivery of the Mueller report, Siege reveals an administration that is perpetually beleaguered by investigations and a president who is increasingly volatile, erratic and exposed.

Michael Wolff is the author of Fire and Fury, the number one best seller that for the first time told the inside story of the Trump White House. He has received numerous awards for his work, including two National Magazine Awards. The author of seven previous books, he has been a regular columnist for Vanity Fair, New York, the Hollywood Reporter, British GQ and other magazines and newspapers. He lives in Manhattan and has four children.

A must for anyone who enjoyed Fire and Fury, this picks up largely where Wolff left off in the chaos of Trump’s White House. Perhaps less jaw droppingly revealing as the first, it nonetheless peels back the toupee of respectability the office of President still affords Trump to bring the anecdotes and experiences of those working closely with the administration and their attempts to contain and control. It delivers with pace and drive and captures the relentless shifting sands which Wolff seems convinced will eventually consume Trump.

Another uncomfortable delve into Trumpland

A really good follow up to Fire and Fury. Interesting to get an inside baseball look st how some key moments in history played out. And, disappointing that the Muller investigation findings are reduced to just an epilogue. But, perhaps the author is saving that for his third book on Trump? Worth mentioning that the voice over artist was really great - making me laugh out loud numerous times with his impressions.

A good listen

I have now listened to Siege several times and I really enjoy it. it goes into great detail of exactly how chaotic and downright strange the Trump presidency was, and describes things so wonderfully I felt like i was actually standing there watching the scenarios unfold. Brilliant narration too, the 'Trump coice' is spot on, especially when doing speeches. if you're reading this and thinking of buying, please take this as your sign to buy. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Parts of it were either copy and pasted or re-hashed. Having purchased both books on Audible I was a little disappointed in this one. Wolfe just appears to be the loathsome Bannon's ghost writer at times. That said, I tend to listen 2/3 times and this is based on my first listen. Helped make painting and watching the walls dry go quicker!

The guy reading it, assume he also did the first book too, was again great.

Maybe half a book

I great insight into the personality of the sitting POTUS , Donald Trump. As the story is still ongoing it looks like we might get a third insight

Hairless and airless . The yellow peril

Nowhere near as incisive as fire and fury, and the only real source is bannon. It avoids being his propaganda just about.

Definitely an opportunistic sequel. Whereas fire and fury made a companion piece to fear (5*) this is unnecessary, although enjoyable.

Solid recap of known material

Welcome to Trumpland. They do things differently there. Very differently.
Michael Wolff brings the same tone of energised gossip he brought to "Fire and Fury." The tone of someone grabbing you by the arm and saying "It's worse than you thought. Wait 'til you hear what I know..."
His sources range from a range of unnamed White House insiders and friends of Trump, who received various of his late night, frenzied and paranoid calls, as well as his chief source from the last book, big splotchy fascist Steve Bannon.
And here the book shares the same irritant of the former. It gives Bannon far more kudos and political credibility than he deserves. Of a political maverick fighting for the working class, and betrayed by his former masters, as opposed to the damaging fascist he really is. But that aside, this is binge listen material. Going through the main chapters of Trump's presidency after the first book, it takes in various of Trump's domestic and foreign policy debacles. He appals his military by pulling out of Syria. He appals the world with the Putin/Helinski Summit where Putin visibly owns him. And Wolff is always clear about how much of dangerous lunatic Trump is. Much more dangerous as a cornered animal, as this book portrays him to be. Under the 'siege' of the title, by a disillusioned base and right wing media as he fails to build his wall, by angry, betrayed and insulted colleagues and former colleagues, and by Mueller and his investigation into Trump's affairs. It ends with Mueller's catastrophic failure to hold Trump to account.
I look forward to the next book (I presume there will be one) and how it will portray Trump's response to the pandemic, 'black lives matter' movement, and his efforts to overturn the American election.

This book is enjoyable but it feels like reading magazine articles. No overarching narrative. Sometimes I had to force myself to focus.

Way too unstructured

Michael Wolff has followed up his excellent Fire and Fury with another insightful inspection into the workings of American political strategy radiating from a White House ruled by a narcissistic special-needs infant who was, unbelievably, elected (well, sort of) President.

This sequel is a wonderful book and the narrator is, again, perfect. The greatest pity is that the people who won’t read or listen to it are the very ones who should - that is, all the easily-duped Trump-suckers who blindly voted him into power in the first place.

And these people still fail to see how they have aided Trump in destroying all the good in America and its respectful standing with every other country on Earth.

An insisive account of the Trump White House. The chaotic and unpredictable behaviour of Trump.
