Summary

It was clear from the first that Trump's inclinations were radically more blunt force than his predecessors'. When told that the capital of South Korea, Seoul, was so close to the North Korean border that millions of people would likely die in the first hours of any all-out war, Trump had a bold response, "They have to move." Very quickly, it became clear to a number of people at the highest levels of government that their gravest mission was to protect America from Donald Trump. Bergen provides a riveting account of what happened when the unstoppable force of President Trump met the immovable object of America's national security establishment: the CIA, the State Department, and, above all, the Pentagon
