Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House



Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House is a book by detailing the campaign for and the first year of the Donald Trump presidency. Originally scheduled to be released on January 9, 2018 (later rescheduled to January 5), it was propelled into the spotlight after Trump's lawyers sent cease-and-desist messages to its publisher Henry Holt and Company asking them to halt its publication. Following the pre-publication revelation that Steve Bannon regarded the the book went to the number-one spot on Amazon's Best-Selling Books list on January 3, 2018.

Although in the past Wolff has been accused of "not just recreating scenes in his books and columns, but of creating them wholesale", there is reason to believe there are truths to be found within the book: 1) his unprecedented eighteen-month "fly-on-the-wall" access, 2) his access to hours of tapes from the White House, 3) the swift non-denial denial and outrage from Trump. 4) Bannon, who made some of the most damning comments in the book, has not disputed them.

Title
The title of the book is a reference to a bizarre statement made by Trump regarding his plans on dealing with the North Korean nuclear crisis, in which he said "[North Korea] will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen".
