The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir

Got about 50 pages in and quit. Short on intrigue and long on meandering anecdotes and racism.

While I disagree with pretty much everything Bolton believes in and stands for, knowing how immensely frustrated this man was with how Trump is as a person as well as a president does raise some form of sympathy. The chaos was so much worse behind the scenes!

An evil soulless warmonger recounts his time in an administration that is as corrupt as it is incompetent. The book itself has no narrative, no point, just a constant boring stream of events poorly told with a singular agenda: trying to settle scores with this and previous administrations while absolving the author of all of the disasters that he directly contributed to. In a just world, he and all of his fellow enablers of a criminal president would be rotting in jail now.
