"The clear theme of Peril is not a rehash or account of what
transpired over the past year or so. It is a waving red flag
designed to warn the electorate and chattering class that this
story is far from over."--Mediaite "The explosive new book....that
rocked Washington and the world with its headlines...you've done it
again."--George Stephanopolous, ABC "An amazing, intense, and very
troubling read . . . A book that is historical and also a caution -
a warning about the future. . . It's a fantastic book."--Jake
Tapper, CNN "A Bob Woodward book is like a large Christmas tree
with dozens and dozens and dozens of unique ornaments that you've
never seen before, news media headlines immediately focused on the
biggest and most important ornaments on that tree, and we all
eagerly read those first news reports about a Bob Woodward book.
But the reason to read the book, the reason to order this book
tonight or get it at your bookstore tomorrow is to see how the
whole story fits together and see all of those ornaments on the
tree that the news media never gets to because there are just too
many of them."--Lawrence O'Donnell, MSNBC "Extraordinary new book .
. . chalk full of scoops . . . iconic pieces of reporting . . . A
collaboration we have been waiting for. It lives up to all of our
hopes and expectations. . . It is stunning."--Nicolle Wallace,
MSNBC "Woodward and Costa make a powerful case that America has had
a narrow escape. It leaves all Americans, in particular the
Republican Party, with some thinking to do"--Justin Webb, The
Times, UK
"The thing that is so bracing and nerve-wracking and important
about this new book is what it reveals about how much worse it was
than we knew, how much closer we came to real disaster than we have
known before now." -- Rachel Maddow, MSNBC "The book details how
Mr. Trump's presidency essentially collapsed in his final months in
office, particularly after his election loss and the start of his
campaign to deny the results." -- Michael S. Schmidt, The New York
Times "We know that the period between the election and the
inauguration was a time of great domestic turmoil. And what Peril
does is it shows that this was also a grave national security
crisis." -- Isaac Stanley-Becker, The Washington Post "Explosive
new details about former President Donald Trump's actions around
last year's election and the January insurrection." -- PBS
"Woodward and Costa got an exclusive transcript of the call. Pelosi
has the same concerns that Milley does. The phone call is dramatic.
It's blunt. And Pelosi wants Milley to reassure her that the
nuclear weapons are safe." -- Jamie Gangel, CNN "Excerpts of the
Woodward/Costa book in The Washington Post and CNN make the Trump
administration's operations in January 2021 sound like a
bewildering blend of King Lear, The Decline and Fall of The Roman
Empire, Dr. Strangelove and Veep." -- Olivier Knox, The Washington
Post
"A cliffhanger . . . Like an installment of a deathless Marvel
franchise, for all its spectacle Peril ends with a dismaying sense
of prologue." - John Williams, The New York Times
