From Michael Wolff, author of the explosive, number one best seller Fire and Fury, comes the mesmerizing story behind the most bizarre melt-down in recent American political history.

The decline and fall of Rudy Giuliani, from “America’s Mayor” to public spectacle, has all the makings of a modern Shakespearean tragedy. Those who know Giuliani, whose tough leadership and even tougher politics helped revitalize New York City in the 1990s and lead the country through 9/11, have stood by and watched with incredulity as he put himself at the heart of impeachment charges against the President.

In The Tragedy of Rudy Giuliani, Michael Wolff uncovers just what happened to the iconoclastic former mayor, and reveals how his apparent self-destruction frames some of the great political questions of the age: How have evidently unstable people come to have such success in institutional politics? How have the mean and nasty achieved such heights in a system that has valued – insisted on – likeability and conventionality?

It may seem like this book is one sided but that always occurs when the right is exposed. Whereas the reading seemed overly dramatic it also exposed a sad story of mental health detrioration.
As a result Rudy experienced seeing himself becoming obsolete while trying to be important ie a significant player. Unpleasant but not untruthful.

Why not expose the man?

An interesting perspective on the relationship between Donald Trump and Giuliani, if you can just ignore the many name mispronunciations.

Ok, if you can get past the mispronunciations.

helps explain the craziness of the last few years and how the whole Ukraine thing started and went.

I found this piece interesting, but not terribly illuminating. More of what I have known and expected. The mystery Giuliani who has become a parody of himself and a train wreck of a human being cannot be resolved in such a short sketch. The parts of the book that zeroed in on the relationship between Ailes and Rudy and their world view were the best.

Mildly interesting...

Great summary of the rise and fall of Rudy Giuliani. A cautionary tale for anyone chasing greed.

A tragedy indeed

Rudy as NY Southern District D.A. then Mayor of NYC. Philandering.. Had a brief stint of fame 09/11/2001. ILL never forget that hair dye running down his face. Even Trump discarded him
Trump was always discarding appointees. Folks should learn. Rudy never got paid by DJT, no one did nor does.

elucidating

I wanted to learn more and felt there were some significant gaps of info that would have helped bring the puzzlingly irresponsible behavior of the fallen Giuliani.

Alcohol, power and greed

We saw. we thought it. So why do so many ignore all the bizarre corruption these people have been swimming in? No answer here but great detail

As most of us saw

this is perhaps just a collection of some news. lacks professionalism and journalistic innovation. the narration is monotone and uninteresting.

not much to offer

Always controversial, but now a sorry spectacle. Someone should have saved him from himself, but on the other hand, he chose the path he is on through years of misguided decisions. Sad.

Well written and an easy listen. Narration is solid, perhaps a bit slow, but speed buttons can fix that.

Harsh, but true
