For the first time, he recounts what happened behind closed doors during the Trump presidency. Few White House advisors have had such an expansive portfolio or constant access to the president. From his office next to Trump, senior adviser Jared Kushner operated quietly behind the scenes, preferring to leave the turf wars and television sparring to others. Now, Kushner finally tells his story--a fast-paced and surprisingly candid account of how an earnest businessman with no political ambitions found himself pulled into a presidency that no one saw coming. Breaking History takes readers inside debates in the Oval Office, double-crosses at the United Nations, tense meetings in Arab palaces, high-stakes negotiations, and the daily barrage of leaks, false allegations, investigations, and West Wing infighting. A true historical thriller, this book is not your typical political memoir. Kushner details Washington's intense resistance to change and reveals how he broke through the stalemates of the past. An outsider among outsiders, Kushner was a results-driven executive among beltway power brokers. He questioned old assumptions and delivered unprecedented results on trade, criminal justice reform, production of COVID-19 vaccines, and Middle East peace. His successful negotiation of the Abraham Accords, the most significant diplomatic breakthrough in 50 years, earned him a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. Written by one of the few people by Trump's side from his trip down the golden escalator to his final departure from Andrews Air Force Base, Breaking History provides the most honest, nuanced, and definitive understanding of a presidency that will be studied for generations."--provided by publisher. 541 $d 20221010. 600 1 $a Kushner, Jared, $d 1981- 600 1 $a Trump, Donald $d 1946- $x Family. 650 $a Presidents $z United States $x Family. 650 $a Presidents $z United States $x Staff $v Biography. 650 $a Businesspeople $z United States $v Biography. 650 $a Large type books. 651 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2017-2021. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. 655 7 $a Biographies. 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231107010351.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20221220011103.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=13B68198803411ED944134D030ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
