All or Nothing

How Trump Recaptured America

By: Michael Wolff

Narrated by: Michael Wolff, Holter Graham

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of Fire and Fury delivers a breathtaking insider account of the 2024 Trump campaign—undoubtedly the wildest, most unpredictable campaign in U.S. history, including multiple criminal trials, two assassination attempts, and a sudden switch of opponents.

All or Nothing takes readers on a journey accompanying Donald Trump on his return to power as only Michael Wolff, the foremost chronicler of the Trump era, can do it. As Trump cruelly and swiftly dispatches his opponents, heaps fire and fury on the prosecutors and judges who are pursuing him, and mocks and belittles anyone in his way, including the president of the United States, this becomes not just another election but perhaps, both sides say, the last election. The stakes could not be clearer: Either the establishment destroys Donald Trump, or he destroys the establishment.

What soon emerges is a split-screen reality: On one side, a picture that could not be worse for Trump: an inescapable, perhaps mortal legal quagmire; on the other side, an entirely positive political outlook: overwhelming support within his party, ever-rising polling numbers, and lackluster opposition. Through personal access to Trump’s inner circle, Wolff details a behind-the-scenes, revealing landscape of Trumpworld and its unlikely cast of primary players as well as the candidate himself, the most successful figure in American politics since, arguably, Roosevelt, but who might easily seem to be raving mad.

Threading a needle between tragedy and farce, the fate of the nation, the liberal ideal, and democracy itself, All or Nothing paints a gobsmacking portrait of a man whose behavior is so unimaginable, so uncontrolled, so unmindful of cause and effect, that it defeats all the structures and logic of civic life. And yet here in one of the most remarkable comebacks in American political history, Trump is victorious. This is not just a story about politics: It is a vivid exposé of the demons, discord, and anarchy—the fire, fury, and future—of American life under Trump.

Critic reviews

“Wolff, the one true laureate of the Trump years.”—The Washington Post

“The book is undeniably gripping—a veritable harvest of slime, sycophancy and sleaze that tells the story of Trump 2.0, an aggrieved pugilist waging a ‘life or death’ campaign.”—Nicolas Niarchos, The New York Times

“It is Wolff’s fourth book about Trump, and it’s as kinetic and entertaining as all of them.”—The Telegraph

“The real importance of his books is the unflinching portrait they paint of a man for whom everything, including governing and policymaking, is a matter of personal caprice. The natural inclination when writing about presidents is to take their politics seriously, and to try to uncover a coherent vision behind their actions. Wolff—a resolutely unsentimental writer—resists that impulse, which allows him to see Trump clearly.”—The Yale Review

“Wolff gives a fly-on-the-wall account of Trump’s 2024 election run, anchored by a Technicolor portrait of the candidate’s egotism, wild mood swings, and steadfast rejection of reality. . . . This is a singular and penetrating diagnosis of the president’s character and managerial style.”—Publishers Weekly

A great writer tells a story as engrossing as the best of books

Wolff has captured the essence of power and performance in his never-boring account. The story transcends the subject and, oddly enough, shows Trump’s never-quit bravado with an insider’s touch. What a great writer!

Sociopath who has lived with few consequences , or morals surrounds himself with like minded people to reach his goal.

So accurate and prophetic. Because Trump has no real moral compass, or ideological foundation , he now is simply enjoying himself and stacking his coins, while others
tear this country apart.

Amount of detail and ability to tie all the players and events to a cohesive and interesting, if frightening, story.

Had just read The Project by David Graham, staff writer for the Atlantic, who provides a concise and thorough description of the Project 2025 Mandate and introductions to the major players, most of whom are now embedded in the cabinet and other official positions of power, as noted by Wolff. The books dovetail and should be read for an understanding of our need to protect and defend the Constitution and the rule of law and our democracy.

This book vividly explains why Trumo won in 2024. it provides insights into the behind the scenes theatrics.

Nothing stands out to dislike. it reads like a novel and is suspenseful despite everyone knowing the outcome

Biased yet intriguing

If you’re looking for an objective and unbiased look at Donald trump, keep looking. I understand it’s hard to hide the author in the book but he makes no attempt at concealing his true thoughts. Nevertheless it is informative and interesting.
