John Bolton’s The Room Where It Happened is a detailed, first-person chronicle of his 453 days as President Donald Trump’s national-security adviser, portraying an administration driven by reelection calculations and dominated by “turmoil, uncertainty, and risk.” Drawing on near-daily Oval Office access, Bolton recounts episodes from the 2018 Syria chemical-weapons crisis to the failed Camp David Taliban summit, alleging a pattern of chaotic decision-making and foreign-policy deals shaped more by showmanship than strategy. He argues that the House impeachment case was too narrow, documenting similar Ukraine-style maneuvers across Iran, China, North Korea, and beyond. Narrated by voice actor Robert Petkoff, with Bolton himself reading the epilogue, the audiobook offers what reviewers call “the first tell-all memoir by such a high-ranking official” of the Trump era, combining insider detail with a scathing assessment of presidential leadership.
