Brief Book Review of Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff

Just finished my 2nd book of 2018, and definitely what could have been one of my best readings, Fire and Fury, by Michael Wolff. As a brief description, i could say, that this has been the most sarcastic, incisive, and graphical overview of the current state of affairs in the Trump's White House (or is it Jarvanka's White House?) well nobody knows for certain but the author finished the book setting the way for a Bannon take over of the White House, definitely in a creepy way, making the point that Trump has been a tool for the Bannonites to come back to West Wing.

One particular point of my personal interest is the non coherence of how the foreign policy has been handled by the current administration and how the most critical point which is the issue of the Middle East was handed to inexperienced hands, this is, to youngster Jared Kushner, having himself no experience at all on how to handle this vital region of the world and other issues like North Korea and Syria, also mentioned as issue of foreign policy, and where Steve Bannon had a radical different point of view, and also with regards to Afghanistan, this is, isolationism and hands off of these delicate spots where the U.S. through previous administrations of Obama and Bush made a mess according to the bannonites. Also, the most repeated words all across the book were leaks, leaks, each group leaking against each other, that is (the bannonites, the Jarvankas and the Priebus-Ryan side) and how each group used people like the Mooch and Spicer for their own ends and goals in order to advance each group agendas, and definitely with no organisation and coherence on how to run the White House, according to the author. Amazing how much could have happened in just a year of the Trump administration and how clear it has been described in this hot book.  Worth the read this book...
