Publisher Description
"He is FAKE NEWS, a total LOSER, and no one should waste their time or money in buying this boring and obviously fictitious book!" Donald Trump, President of the United States
"Gripping-a veritable harvest of slime, sycophancy and sleaze that tells the story of Trump 2.0, an aggrieved pugilist waging a 'life or death' campaign." New York Times
"Michael Wolff... the shrewdest and most colourful chronicler of the Trump years," Sunday Times
All or Nothing is the final chapter in Wolff's Fire and Fury series. With extraordinary behind-the-scenes access, it follows every turn of Donald Trump's third presidential campaign.
In disgrace after the January 6 attack on the Capitol and sent into exile, Trump immediately sputters back to life. To the shock of the Republican Party leadership, the Trump base has not abandoned him. Hardly a year on, he is as strong as any challenger has ever been. The American establishment is stunned by his comeback and determined to stop it and hold him accountable for his abuses of law and power. Equally, he has vowed retribution on anyone who tries to stand in his way. The 2024 presidential race is elemental: the system breaks Donald Trump or Donald Trump breaks the system.
Michael Wolff tells this story from inside the Trump campaign. Through the sources he has cultivated over his ten years of writing about Donald Trump, including people who are with Trump on a daily basis, as well as his own first-hand reporting, we get a nearly moment-by-moment picture of the pendulum mood swings, the casual cruelties, the demands for obeisance, the preternatural resolve or otherworldly levels of denial, and the certain flashes of showman genius of the new president.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Donald Trump doubled down on belligerence and bombast in clawing back the presidency, according to this raucous campaign narrative. Journalist Wolff (Landslide) gives a fly-on-the-wall account of Trump's 2024 election run, anchored by a Technicolor portrait of the candidate's egotism, wild mood swings, and steadfast rejection of reality. (Informed that a Rasmussen poll had him up by three points, he replied, "Have them fix that; it's ten points.") Much of the book covers Trump's trials for sexual abuse, real estate fraud, and hush money payments; Trump's aggressiveness in these proceedings, Wolff contends, brought him an avalanche of endorsements and campaign donations. Wolff also draws vivid sketches of Trump's flatterers and sacrificial lambs, from communications aide Natalie Harp, who stoked him with conspiracy theories and love notes—"I never want to bring you anything but joy"—to the hapless lawyers subjected to his rants. Drawing on insights from members of Trump's circle who have spent years analyzing him, Wolff offers rich interpretations of his psyche: "Trump is... a raw nerve," his "personal grievances" expressed at "any moment" as "public performances." Wolff's focus on personality, however, gives short shrift to politics—describing a meeting with Teamsters during which Trump won them over, for instance, he fixates on the odd color of Trump's hands. Still, this is a singular and penetrating diagnosis of the president's character and managerial style.
