Conrad Black, bestselling author of Franklin Delano Roosevelt: Champion of Freedom and Richard M. Nixon: A Life in Full, turns his attention to his "friend" President Donald J. Trump and provides the most intriguing and significant analysis yet of Trump's political rise. Ambitious in intellectual scope, contrarian in many of its opinions, and admirably concise, this is surely set to be one of the most provocative political books you are likely to read this year.

I was so tired of all the "Trump Bashing" by the main stream media and by people who never researched the facts. So when I read a review of Conrad Black's book, I bought it and read it. And I'm glad I did. It was nice to read something positive about our President.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Great History Book On Trump. Easy and Fun to Read, Very Considered.
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2018
Verified Purchase
I just bought and read this book on my Kindle. History is written by the winners, and this book is a preview of how Trump will be viewed in history if he is a successful president. I have long been a fan of this authors writing, and I was not disappointed.

I was more interested in what I would learn. As a news hound, I feel reasonably well read on the subject. I was pleasantly surprised that he expressed the opinion that I already had that the 2 (or 3?) prior presidents had laid the groundwork for a Trump, with their own failed presidencies, smugness and interbreeding. But his unfamiliar assertion was that Trump had been serious about becoming President for decades, and that his last decade or two was spent preparing for this journey. I had assumed that Trump was a publicity hound, and his campaign was not necessarily meant to win. In Blacks telling, he cultivated fame with working class, middle American enterprises (Reality TV, Pro wrestling, Beauty contests). And immersed himself in their ideas.

I also learned that Trump was a more honest businessman than I believed (The author did a large business deal with him), and was surprised how long held many of his policy inclinations are.

Highly recommend this book

This was a very fun and fact filled book, describing events in chronological order. I did find one error; Lisa Murkowski is the Senator from Alaska and he has her as from Arkansas. Outside of that, the author has a very fluid and colorful writing style that holds your interest throughout the book. It is obvious that he did his research, and his commentary about events shows incredible insight. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know the facts of the Trump administration, but doesn't want to do the research, as the author has done it for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A super read!
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018
Verified Purchase
One tiny fault. The last 10 or so pages could have been a prologue or epilogue because they brilliantly sum up President Trump’s successes and eccentricities. Read them first.

As a mature adult with extensive international experience I learned quickly that results are the measure. Eccentricity is not a curse.

Perhaps we don’t learn that until we are in our late twenties and that might explain the disdain for him at universities. But I pity those over that age who should read this excellent work to balance their views of unfounded hypocritical cynicism.

Don’t worry, the author cites what some might call the ‘bad stuff’ but he puts it in context.

I would rather have a strong, intuitive president with quirks rather than a phoney who is a weathervane not a leader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enough tasty sizzle
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2018
Verified Purchase
Consider this brief review in the following context. A) I previously digested Conrad Black's substantial work, Flight of the Eagle, B) I thoroughly read Conrad Black's Wiki page and he is pretty much a certified genius with some amazing life history, and C) I've been a somewhat hardcore political follower since the Clinton era, and was an early adopter of the Trump direction and message. So... Black brings a great background to this book. The first 40% was super reading for me - I liked to imbibe the early Trump and how Black views him. Once the campaign portion was underway and all the other twists and turns that have occurred since then - well, been there, done that already, so it was light reading for me. To others, it's probably an excellent catch-up. I don't want to fault Black at all, and his Flight of the Eagle was fantastic and deep and also a great overview that I had never had before in quite the same way. But for me, this book just slightly lacked the follow-on brilliance I was hoping for. But that's just me. Black remains in a major pedestal in my world.

5.0 out of 5 stars How and Why Trump was equipped to be President, and, indeed, he did a damn good job.
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2021

I devoured this book, even though I thought there could be little that I don't already know. If for no other reason, read this book for a lesson on how to write, describe and logically analyze a subject using the elegance of the English language. I quote a passage: "To a man of Donald Trump's self-confidence, the idea of his becoming president of the United States was not at all outrageous....He was a rich celebrity whose tastes were not to hobnob with the swells and socially eminent benefactors, but, crucially for a presidential candidate, to harvest the appreciation of the lower middle and working classes of America who were not appalled, but rather, to some degree, inspired, by his bravura, buffoonery and raw egotism, for behind it they saw an outrageously successful version of themselves, and one who, they intuited, understood them and their desires, fears, and hopes. "
Pure grammatical music. Envy on my part. On the whole, one comes away from reading this book with a deep knowledge of the incidious, manipulative, dishonest means by which the media, the deep state and the Democrats treated the last President who deeply loves this country and had brilliant ideas for its future. Yet, he still was able to overcome the noise and implement what we some of us knew and some will see in hindsight were genius negociations for a betterment of America. Bravo!!

This is an excellent biography. It shows clearly how Trump the man became Trump the President. It's not a fawning book either. Where Trump has warts, the author shows them. I highly recommend this book to every American who cares about our government. If you think Trump is an ass, this book will show you why. If you think he's a genius, this book will show you why. Either way, you'll come away with a better understanding of the man who heads our government.

I have always admired Lord Black and so his opinions on President Trump have far more credibility to me than CNN or Fox News.

This book is eloquently written - as is everything Conrad Black chooses to write must be.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for an in-depth review of who Trump actually is, rather than the caricature painted of him by his self-appointed enemies in the media. And just so easy to read that it makes for an enjoyable evening's relaxation.

5.0 out of 5 stars The character of 'a President like no other' illuminated
Reviewed in Australia on June 1, 2019
Verified Purchase
Conrad Black concisely lays out a generally sympathetic but realistic portrait of Donald Trump from his early years, leading up to his first serious run for the Presidency which, to most people's amazement, he won.

Then it is onto a review of the remarkable first two years, both in terms of what he himself has done but also, perhaps more so, in terms of what his opponents have done in reaction.

Maybe we would have been less amazed by Trump if we had known more about the tough world of New York real estate development and what sort of talent, determination and massive self-belief it needs to succeed. As Black says "Trump is no Eagle Scout", but perhaps only such a man could succeed in pushing through his vision - which is a remarkably conventionally conservative one, as Black points out - against the apparatus of the state, the vicious lies of his increasingly unhinged political opponents and with only partial support from his own party.

A remarkable Presidency in the making illuminated by a wonderful, elegant writer. A pleasure to read.
