Praise for A Consequential President
"[An] obligatory reference ... for future historians grappling with
the Obama presidency." --The Washington Post"[A] massive trove of
fact-checked, citation-provided facts ... Latte-sipping liberals
may be partisan or at least annoying in their boostery Facebook
posting of job-growth charts, but they're not wrong." --Chicago
Tribune"[A] broad, generous look at the entire Obama administration
and finds many solid arguments that he indeed delivered the
'change' that he promised in 2008." --Kirkus Reviews"D'Antonio is
partisan in that he admires Obama, but as befits a distinguished
reporter, his assessments, while not neutral, are certainly
balanced." --Publishers Weekly
"As an answer to critics on both the left and right, journalist
D'Antonio ... shows that ... Barack Obama managed to be the
transformative U.S. president that many hoped for when he took
office in 2009 ... Readers who enjoy learning about government and
politics and want to know how Obama and his advisers addressed the
challenges they faced will appreciate D'Antonio's thorough
coverage." --Library JournalPraise for Michael D'Antonio
"A brisk and entertaining read, drawing on interviews and documents
and distilling decades' worth of news coverage to tell the story of
Trump's childhood, family, business deals, and political forays."
--The Washington Post on The Truth About Trump"An admirably
straight-forward, evenhanded but nonetheless damning account of
Trump's life." --The New York Times Book Review on The Truth About
Trump"A brisk and entertaining read, drawing on interviews and
documents and distilling decades' worth of news coverage to tell
the story of Trump's childhood, family, business deals and
political forays." --The Washington Post on The Truth About Trump"A
carefully reported and fair-minded account. ... [D'Antonio] has
pulled together Trump's story, subjected it to some fact-checking
and dissected a string of business deals that display his drive to
win, his thirst for money, his willingness to push boundaries and
his apparently endless quest for publicity." --USA Today on The
Truth About Trump"Balanced, well-sourced and perfectly timed."--The
Financial Times on The Truth About Trump"D'Antonio has delivered an
intriguing portrait of an American individualist and his time."
--Los Angeles Times Book Review on Hershey "Stunning . . . a vivid,
careful, and ultimately momentous piece of journalism." --The
Boston Globe on The State Boys Rebellion "A captivating book."
--The Wall Street Journal on A Full Cup "This landmark work of
recent history remains gripping and affecting to the last word."
--Booklist (starred review) on Mortal Sins
