""A rare, insider's look at the life of Donald Trump from the bestselling author of the Killing series, based on exclusive interview material and deep research. Readers around the world have been enthralled by journalist and New York Times bestselling author Bill O'Reilly's Killing series - riveting works of nonfiction that explore the most famous events in history. Now O'Reilly turns his razor-sharp observations to his most compelling subject thus far - President Donald J. Trump. In this thrilling narrative, O'Reilly blends primary, never-before-released interview material with a history that recounts Trump's childhood and family and the factors from his life and career that forged the worldview the president of the United States has taken to the White House. Not a partisan pro-Trump or anti-Trump book, this is an up-to-the-minute, intimate view of the man and his sphere of influence - of ""how Donald Trump's view of America was formed and how it has changed since he became the most powerful person in the world"" - from a writer who has known the president for thirty years. This is an unprecedented, gripping account of the life of a sitting president as he makes history. As the author will tell you, ""If you want some insight into the most unlikely political phenomenon of our lifetimes, you'll get it here."" - from the inner front jacket flap. ""This book was a bear to write. Almost as difficult as Killing Jesus, which required methodical research to separate myth from reality. Same thing here - the Trump myth collided with the Trump reality, and getting to the truth was no easy matter. That's because much of what has been written and said about President Trump is false, stated through a prism of disdain and, on the other side, adulation. Either way, there is so much garbage floating around the Trump story, I felt more like a sanitation worker than a reporter. But report I did, without fear or favor. If you despise Donald Trump, this book may frustrate you. It tells the truth about the man, both good and bad. It is not pro- or anti-Trump. It is history. I was in a good position to work on the project because I've known the president for more than thirty years.But I am not a close friend of his because he doesn't have many of those, and there is a reason for this, which we'll examine.Hopefully, this book will explain the why behind the power. The why behind the bluster. The why behind the hatred he absorbs and sometimes dishes out. And most important, the key question: HOW ON EARTH did he get to the Oval Office?"" - excerpt from the Foreword by Bill O'Reilly, Manhasset, New York, Valentine's Day, 2019, Dusk
