The Room Where It Happened

A White House Memoir
Book • 2020
In this memoir, John Bolton provides a detailed and critical account of his time as National Security Advisor to President Donald Trump.

Bolton describes a presidency marked by chaos, where Trump's decisions were largely driven by reelection calculations, often at the expense of national security and international relations.

The book covers various foreign policy issues, including dealings with North Korea, China, Russia, and Iran, as well as domestic conflicts and the tumultuous environment within the Trump Administration.

Bolton also discusses the impeachment proceedings and his own experiences with Trump's erratic behavior and lack of impulse control.
