Breaking History

A White House Memoir

By: Jared Kushner

Narrated by: Sean Pratt, Jared Kushner

Jared Kushner was one of the most consequential presidential advisers in modern history. For the first time, he recounts what happened behind closed doors during the Trump presidency.

Few White House advisors have had such an expansive portfolio or constant access to the president. From his office next to Trump, senior adviser Jared Kushner operated quietly behind the scenes, preferring to leave the turf wars and television sparring to others.

Now, Kushner finally tells his story—a fast-paced and surprisingly candid account of how an earnest businessman with no political ambitions found himself pulled into a presidency that no one saw coming.

Breaking History takes readers inside debates in the Oval Office, double-crosses at the United Nations, tense meetings in Arab palaces, high-stakes negotiations, and the daily barrage of leaks, false allegations, investigations, and West Wing infighting.

A true historical thriller, this book is not your typical political memoir. Kushner details Washington’s intense resistance to change and reveals how he broke through the stalemates of the past. An outsider among outsiders, Kushner was a results-driven executive among beltway power brokers. He questioned old assumptions and delivered unprecedented results on trade, criminal justice reform, production of COVID-19 vaccines, and Middle East peace. His successful negotiation of the Abraham Accords, the most significant diplomatic breakthrough in 50 years, earned him a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Written by one of the few people by Trump’s side from his trip down the golden escalator to his final departure from Andrews Air Force Base, Breaking History provides the most honest, nuanced, and definitive understanding of a presidency that will be studied for generations.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

Insightful, Sincere, informative.

A fantastic story of the real Jared Kushner, Donald Trump, and the unwavering resolve of an administration dealt such adversity from the media and political establishment.

Great Read. Perfect Book for the Guy Behind the Guy.

Enjoyed it thoroughly. I work with small businesses to help them improve their marketing and sales I would consider myself a guy behind the guy of many guys. Jared’s experiences really resonated with me. It takes a special person to do much without looking for recognition from the masses. Every guy needs a guy to get the little things done. Would work for/with Jared or his family in a heartbeat. They are achievers at the highest level.

Eye Opening…

Regardless of your political slant, this book is an eye opening look from an outsider on how inefficient and stale our government machine has become… and how much we need more outsiders running our country. The current system and parties couldn’t run a Lemonade Stand

Great read

A great book that clearly explains how hard the Trump administration worked for the people, What they accomplished and how at every turn the headwinds they faced to distort the good work was like none ever seen in the modern political era.

Eye opening!

An insightful and powerful look at the Trump presidency from the inside. Thank God Kushner was there. Trump had the instinct and Jerod had the tact.
