Publisher Description
The transition from President Donald J. Trump to President Joseph R. Biden Jr. stands as one of the most dangerous periods in American history.
But as #1 internationally bestselling author Bob Woodward and acclaimed reporter Robert Costa reveal for the first time, it was far more than just a domestic political crisis. Woodward and Costa interviewed more than 200 people at the center of the turmoil, resulting in more than 6,000 pages of transcripts—and a spellbinding and definitive portrait of a nation on the brink.
This classic study of Washington takes readers deep inside the Trump White House, the Biden White House, the 2020 campaign, and the Pentagon and Congress, with eyewitness accounts of what really happened. Intimate scenes are supplemented with never-before-seen material from secret orders, transcripts of confidential calls, diaries, emails, meeting notes and other personal and government records, making Peril an unparalleled history. It is also the first inside look at Biden’s presidency as he began his presidency facing the challenges of a lifetime: the continuing deadly pandemic and millions of Americans facing soul-crushing economic pain, all the while navigating a bitter and disabling partisan divide, a world rife with threats, and the hovering, dark shadow of the former president.

Every American Needs to Read
This book offers an inside look into a very dysfunctional congress. Because of the life and death decisions that have affected a country and a globe and because of the damage done to our Nation, it is vital that Americans read this book. The reason I gave a four star instead of a five is the reader sounded more like a National Enquirer Reader instead of a carrier of important national information and the latter part of the book sounds more like gossip without a purpose than winding a book with a purpose down. Evenso, it is a fascinating read that evokes strong emotion and forces one to look at their commitment to our Nation and how one may express such. We are indeed in peril. I thank the authors for this vitally important piece of work.

Peril: straightforward, clear, & authoritative
Peril is a straightforward, clear, and authoritative account of how close the USA came to being an authoritarian state in January 2021 — and the dangers to democracy that persist. Highly recommended.
