The transition from President Donald J. Trump to President Joseph R. Biden Jr stands as one of the most dangerous periods in American history. But as No. 1 internationally bestselling author Bob Woodward and acclaimed reporter Robert Costa reveal for the first time, it was far more than just a domestic political crisis. Woodward and Costa interviewed more than 200 people at the centre of the turmoil, resulting in over 6,000 pages of transcripts – and a spellbinding and definitive portrait of a nation on the brink. This classic study of Washington takes readers deep inside the Trump White House, the Biden White House, the 2020 campaign, and the Pentagon and Congress, with vivid eyewitness accounts of what really happened. Peril is supplemented throughout with never-before-seen material from secret orders, transcripts of confidential calls, diaries, emails, meeting notes and other personal and government records, making for an unparalleled history. It is also the first inside look at Biden's presidency as he faces the challenges of a lifetime: the continuing deadly pandemic and millions of Americans facing soul-crushing economic pain, all the while navigating a bitter and disabling partisan divide, a world rife with threats, and the hovering dark shadow of the former president. 'We have much to do in this winter of peril,' Biden declared at his inauguration, an event marked by a nerve-wracking security alert and the threat of domestic terrorism. Peril is the extraordinary story of the end of one presidency and the beginning of another, and represents the culmination of Bob Woodward’s news-making trilogy on the Trump presidency, along with Fear and Rage. And it is the beginning of a collaboration with fellow Washington Post reporter Robert Costa that will remind readers of Woodward’s coverage, with Carl Bernstein, of President Richard M. Nixon’s final days.

When the war in Nagorno-Karabach broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan in September 2020, few believed it would last more than a few days. Instead, it developed into a full-scale war, deeply involving the regional powers of the Caucasus: Russia and Turkey.<br/>   After 44 days, it ended with a Russian-brokered ceasefire agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The borders were redrawn, and Russia stationed 2,000 troops in Nagorno-Karabach standing between the Armenians and Azerbaijanis. The story of Nagorno-Karabach ended with a mass exodus of the whole Armenian population in September 2023.<br/>   In his unique reportage book, Rasmus Canbäck describes how he navigated the Russian presence and entered a region closed to foreign journalists. "I Die Slowly Every Day" portrays what one of the most complex conflicts of our time means for people on the ground.
