"There are so many books about Donald Trump and his presidency that
they could fill Mar-a-Lago and then spill out onto the lawn, but if
you are going to read just one of them (and you should), please
pick up The Divider"
—Air Mail
"Well-paced and engagingly written...the most comprehensive and
detailed account of the Trump presidency yet published."
—The Washington Post
"[A] detail-rich history of the Trump
administration...Comprehensively researched and briskly
told...Squeezing the tumultuous events of the long national fever
dream that was the Donald Trump presidency between two
covers...would tax the skills of the nimblest journalist. Yet the
husband-and-wife team of Baker and Glasser pull it off with
assurance."
—The New York Times Book Review
"The book everyone is talking about"
—Politico
"As a sumptuous feast of astonishing tales, it may hold wonderments
indeed for those first contemplating the enormity of the Trump
phenomenon...But even a reader steeped in years of Trump coverage
and well-versed in the precedent literature may be surprised at how
compelling this narrative proves to be. The more one reads, the
more one wishes to read."
—NPR.com
"A beautifully written, utterly dispiriting history of the man who
attacked democracy."
—The Guardian
"A sweeping, dishy, 700-plus-page history of Trump’s almost
cartoonishly chaotic White House"
—Axios
"Elegant"
—The New York Review of Books
"A comprehensive and scathing chronicle of the Trump
administration...The result is the most encyclopedic account of the
Trump presidency yet published."
—Publishers Weekly *Starred Review*
"...The Divider is the definitive account of Trump’s White House
years...The story continues, but Baker and Glasser give readers an
indispensable starting point."
—Booklist *Starred Review*
"An insightful account of a chaotic president by two of the best
journalists writing on Washington today."
—Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gulag and
Twilight of Democracy
"Finally, the synthesis we need about the Trump presidency. Adding
their own reporting and interpretive skills to the
record – not to mention fine writing – Peter Baker and
Susan Glasser’s The Divider is a book worth everyone’s serious
attention."
—Carl Bernstein, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Chasing
History and co-author of All the President's Men
