Synopsis



Here is the first, insider, account of the precipitous fall of Hillary Clinton. How the scandals of a lifetime finally reached critical mass. How, in the last few days of the campaign, some on her staff saw the ghostly shroud of defeat creeping over them but were helpless to act, frozen by the self-denial of the group.

Here is an explanation of why the national media and their corporate owners kept Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren out of the race. Why they wanted their investment in the Clinton's to work and how they were willing to go to great lengths to make that happen.

Don't have time to read the thousands of leaked emails from inside the Clinton machine?

The author has done it for you and has come back from the experience with a stunning peek into the world of a political leader who privately declared that she wanted a hemisphere "with open trade and open borders."

Finally, here is the story of the rise of Donald Trump.

How his opponents sought to derail him.

This is the story of how Donald Trump's message and brand transcended the traps laid by his enemies. How, against all odds, he won the presidency. And here are the details of his plan to make American great again.

Goodreads review by Bob on July 13, 2017

Since I was very surprised by the election of Donald Trump, I wanted to read about the "why?" Probably too much baggage for Hillary. From this account, it appears her hubris knew no bounds and her key campaign people missed numerous signals that her campaign was in trouble. In this book, her husband,......more

Goodreads review by Tara on May 17, 2017

This book is hard on Hillary Clinton and gently apologist of Donald Trump. However, I now understand much more clearly the relationship between the FBI and the Clintons, and the role of Bill Clinton's earlier presidency and indiscretions on the Hillary campaign. What is clear from this book - and we......more

Goodreads review by Jason on April 23, 2017

There's no inside story here. It's equal parts 1) thorough cataloging of the 90s Clinton scandals (told in a scornful tone), 2) Trump's family and history, (told in a glowing tone) and 3) a chronological retelling of the primaries and election.......more

Goodreads review by Mike on August 08, 2018

It's not fair to say that Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election simply by chance or out of luck. "Game of Thorns," though superficial and written by a partisan author, does reveal some of the tit-for-tat, sometimes trial-and-error political campaign strategies that really worked and eventu......more

"GAME OF THORNS is a fascinating study of 2016 US presidential elections. Wead busts all myths created and supported by what has come to be known as fake news. Wead convincingly shows that President Trump won the elections because of a superior strategy in spite of all odds in favor of Hillary Clinton. GAME OF THORNS is a deeply researched book and provides deep insight into the election strategies of both President Trump and Hillary Clinton, as well as the American election system. GAME OF THORNS is the best book on the 2016 presidential elections and is likely to remain so in the future. It is a must read to understand American politics."—The Washington Book Review
