5/28/2023 0 Comments Rage woodward reviewThe book includes sixteen pages of photographs that give a face to many of the individuals involved in this story. The quotes used in the narrative of the book are verbatim and backed up by recorded audio interviews with Trump, others or “dark sources” (not named sources) who have also been recorded or sourced as factual accounts. It is based on seventeen recorded interviews done over a seven-month period (in person and on the phone) with the subject of the book, President Donald Trump. Woodward is able to create a form of visual actuality with his format and writing.īob Woodward’s new book “Rage” is a journalistic nonfiction book but it fits the criteria of documentary work in all the best ways. This journalistic documentary style of reporting also has its roots in work by Edward R Murrow and Fred Friendly. Primary initiated a form of documentary actuality that became known as “direct cinema” a style that brought the viewer in as an observer. Journalistic film and television documentaries have a long history beginning in 1960 with Primary, directed by Robert Drew and Richard Leacock. Bob Woodward’s new book “Rage,” brings the reader in to the story as an observer to what I call a direct documentary on paper.
