📚 Book Review 📚

Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan

Two veteran NYT reporters take you inside the Situation Room and the Oval Office for a gripping look at how major decisions actually get made — through pressure, competing advice, loyalty, and high-stakes calculation, often far from public view.

Written in the tradition of Bob Woodward’s classic Washington books, this is reported nonfiction at its best: meticulous, revealing, and genuinely hard to put down.

A fascinating look at power behind closed doors. 📖
