The Tragedy of Rudy Giuliani
by Michael Wolff
View on GoodreadsFrom reviving New York City in the 1990s and leading the country after 9/11 to serving as Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani's fall plays out here as a Shakespearean tragedy. Michael Wolff wrote and narrates this Audible audio original, released in October 2020 and running a little over two hours.
Core ideas
- America's Mayor: The portrait covers his height, with New York City's 1990s revival and his leadership in the aftermath of 9/11.
- Into Trump's orbit: It follows him into the job of the president's personal lawyer and on into the first impeachment proceedings.
- The larger question: The portrait asks how people who seem unstable gain influence in institutional politics, and how meanness and abrasiveness became political assets.
