Game of Thorns

Very good book with an in-depth look at the Republican and Democratic nominee of the 2016 presidential election. Very good analysis on who Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are and very interesting background on both. Although there are things that are written about in this publication, the way it is presented may have you looking at things a bit differently than you already may have/be. Very good writing, holds your interest and actually have you wanting to go back as soon as you can to pick up where you left off. Yes, we know how the election turned out, but still read this book. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for my honest review. I will be purchasing this book to pass along to family/friends.

I’ve been so tired this week and I have been falling asleep earlier than usual which means my reading time has been cut! I am really, really liking the book, Game of Thorns by Doug Wead. Since last year I’ve been interested in politics and am devouring this book which details Clinton, Donald Trump, and the 2016 election.

If you’ve been following the news you are most likely familiar with a lot of what’s said in the book however, the author does a great job of summarizing and adding details. I found it to be a fascinating read.

Here is the first insider account of the precipitous fall of Hillary Clinton. How the scandals of a lifetime finally reached critical mass. How, in the last few days of the campaign, some on her staff saw the ghostly shroud of defeat creeping over them but were helpless to act, frozen by the self-denial of the group.

Here is an explanation of why the national media and their corporate owners kept Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren out of the race. Why they wanted their investment in the Clintons to work and how they were willing to go to great lengths to make that happen.

This is the story of how Donald Trump’s message and brand transcended the traps laid by his enemies. How, against all odds, he won the presidency. And here are the details of his plan to make American great again.

Even if you are not a fan of Trump, I recommend reading the book to gain some insight into how he won the election and much more.
