Bob Woodward: 本书探讨了拜登政府在应对特朗普政府遗留问题和乌克兰战争方面的表现。作者认为拜登政府在对乌政策上采取了明智的策略，避免了向乌克兰派遣地面部队，同时通过情报支持和武器供应有效地帮助乌克兰抵抗俄罗斯侵略。此外，书中还详细描述了拜登政府与以色列和内塔尼亚胡的关系，以及拜登政府内部对俄罗斯可能使用核武器的担忧。作者认为，哈里斯在拜登政府中得到了很好的历练，展现出其在处理国际关系和国内事务方面的能力。
Bob Woodward还对特朗普政府时期众多官员对特朗普的强烈警告进行了报道，认为这些警告并非个别事件，而是反映了特朗普的危险性。他认为特朗普缺乏计划和团队，行事随意，不理解总统职位和责任，这对于国家来说是悲剧。他认为特朗普再次当选总统将带来前所未有的危险。
