It's a great book and it was a fascinating conversation.
So I'll be honest, I was reluctant to crack this thing open to like sort of spend my time coming to understand Steve Bannon better. But it's so well written. It is a page turner and it really is.
You know, the thing you say at the outset is you can't understand Trump without understanding where Steve Bannon came from. And you really feel that as you read the book.
This is a fantastic book. I really sincerely and sincerely encourage everybody to pick it up and read it.
The book is Devil's Bargain.
