A New York Times Bestseller "Compelling... this book couldn't be
more timely." - Jill Abramson, New York Times Book Review Called
"disgraceful," "third-rate," and "not nice" by Donald Trump, NBC
News correspondent Katy Tur reported on-and took flak from-the most
captivating and volatile presidential candidate in American
history. Katy Tur lived out of a suitcase for a year and a half,
following Trump around the country, powered by packets of peanut
butter and kept clean with dry shampoo. She visited forty states
with the candidate, made more than 3,800 live television reports,
and tried to endure a gazillion loops of Elton John's "Tiny
Dancer"-a Trump rally playlist staple. From day 1 to day 500, Tur
documented Trump's inconsistencies, fact-checked his falsities, and
called him out on his lies. In return, Trump repeatedly singled Tur
out. He tried to charm her, intimidate her, and shame her. At one
point, he got a crowd so riled up against Tur, Secret Service
agents had to walk her to her car. None of it worked. Facts are
stubborn. So was Tur. She was part of the first women-led politics
team in the history of network news. The Boys on the Bus became the
Girls on the Plane. But the circus remained. Through all the long
nights, wild scoops, naked chauvinism, dodgy staffers, and fevered
debates, no one had a better view than Tur. Unbelievable is her
darkly comic, fascinatingly bizarre, and often scary story of how
America sent a former reality show host to the White House. It's
also the story of what it was like for Tur to be there as it
happened, inside a no-rules world where reporters were spat on,
demeaned, and discredited. Tur was a foreign correspondent who came
home to her most foreign story of all. Unbelievable is a must-read
for anyone who still wakes up and wonders, Is this real life? This
edition features a new introduction by the author.
