Summary
Jared Kushner was one of the most consequential presidential advisers in modern history. 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 listeners 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.

Spellbinding Insight in a White House of Outsiders
Really liked this book. I came around 180 on Trump in the second year of his presidency. I just had enough of the media histrionics and started to look at the actual policy, that was conducted while ignoring the silly POTUS45 tweets. And laugh at those that were funny. Jared Kushner's book seems like an honest-as-can-be-expected account of the Trump son-in-law's experiences and accomplishments during the Trump presidency. I like Kushner - and I appreciate the Trump presidency more and more, looking back. Hardcore Lefties should avoid this book at all costs as it will not be expedient to be forced to realise that anyone in the Trump Administration were actually a mensch or even a human being.

What a truly great book, and man, but….
Whole thing is stunning, even brought a tear or two.
I had the good fortune to be in Sweden for Covid, where the Covid narrative was essentially irrelevant as it was to many African nations who fared best.
What a profound lesson for all of us that someone *this* utterly brilliant could have been triggered by such an insignificant false premise and poured his enormous powers, vast swathes of industry and $Trillions of waste into it and never once stop to question the basic axiom:
Should we be doing any of this for an ordinary flu bug where the provenly best response for public health, for medical best practice, for the economy and for democracy WAS TO DO NOTHING out of the ordinary!?
