Landslide

An instant New York Times bestseller.

“Landslide . . . is the one to leap upon. Smart, vivid and intrepid . . .” —The New York Times

“I inhaled Landslide, gobbled it up.” —Slate

“Wow. Just wow . . .” —Evening Standard

“Cruel, unforgiving, muckraking, scandalous. I couldn’t stop reading it.”—The Telegraph

Wolff embedded himself in the White House in 2017 and gave us a vivid picture of the pandemonium that had descended on Washington. Almost four years later, Wolff finds the Oval Office even more chaotic and bizarre.

At all times of the day, Trump is surrounded by schemers and unqualified sycophants who spoon-feed him the “alternative facts” he hungers to hear—about COVID-19, Black Lives Matter protests, and, most of all, his chance of winning reelection. Wolff takes us front row as the president reaches beyond the bounds of democracy as he entertains the idea of martial law and balks at calling off the January 6 insurrectionist mob.

As the Trump presidency’s hold over the country spiraled out of control, an untold and human account of desperation, duplicity, and delusion was unfolding within the West Wing. Landslide is that story as only Michael Wolff can tell it.
