Coward Bolton

First of all I really DO hope, that Bolton will never see a penny from this book´s revenue. That said, Bolton portrays himself as a tough guy who nevertheless decides never to speak up when given the opportunity. Just as he was obviously too afraid to have to answer questions from Democrats during impeachment. Having been a bureaucrat himself whenever in public service - contrary to General Matthis who actually left his desk and wasn't `all talk no action` like Bolton - it´s impressive how he chooses to discredit bureaucrats again and a again. Another major theme of his book is discrediting General Matthis, even assigning positions hold by the DoD to Matthis´s bad influence long after the general had resigned. It never seems to occur to him that actual soldiers maybe do care about the lives of their comrades and therefore aren't as trigger-happy as Trump-Bolton-like-desk-only-tough-guys. I got the impression that Bolton and Trump are two sides of the same coin when it comes to bragging&grandstanding, though obviously Bolton at least does have knowledge about foreign policy and when not busy diminishing others actually knows what he's talking about.

appalingly bad sound quality

whats wrong with this file?! Neither via mobile app (high quality setting) nor via cloud player can you listen to this. It's so compressed, it sounds nothing like a real reader.

Sehr gut

Jemand der Trump darstellt wie er wirklich ist, ohne Filter, ohne Beschönigungen, ohne Drama oder „second thoughts. Man merkt Bolton seine Erfahrung in Regierungen an, und dass er das Beste für sein Land möchte. Guter Mann, gutes Buch.

Did not finish yet but not my cup so far

I have not finished the book yet but I am also having a hard time to do so. It feels like the author is just boasting about his story in the white house. Not my cup of tea so far. Maybe if you do not mind it it is more interesting to you than to me.

Edit: I cannot emphasize enough how painful it is to finish this book. The author paints himself as all knowing genius. It might be that I am biased so keep that in mind but very painful to listen to indeed. I will still finish it cause I think sometimes you need to finish things even if you do not like them to get other people's perspectives.

Trump is not serving the nation...

...it's all about himself, his family and his very own political and economical interests.
If you had any doubt why an absolute oligarch is not what the US deserves, Michael Bolton is your go to guy!

Good book...

...with a inside look at what happend and what makes POTUS 45 tick. And that should worry everybody!!

sorry effort

of a hardline republican. Endlessly going on about and advertising the author's political views and ideas for which Trump serves as a mere supporting cast. Tedious and lenghty. If you are a hardcore republican, you might like it or you might become one listening to this. Good choice if you itend to listen to this in order to fall asleep !

nachvollziehbare Memoiren

Tolle, plausible Schilderung eines republikanischen Profis und Insiders.
Interessante Einblicke in das Mit- und Gegeneinander innerhalb der Trump-Administration, natürlich mit klarem Schwerpunkt auf außenpolitische Themen.
