Jared Kushner was one of the most consequential presidential advisers in modern history. For the first time, he recounts what happened behind closed doors during the Trump presidency.

Few White House advisors have had such an expansive portfolio or constant access to the president. From his office next to Trump, senior adviser Jared Kushner operated quietly behind the scenes, preferring to leave the turf wars and television sparring to others. 

Now, Kushner finally tells his story—a fast-paced and surprisingly candid account of how an earnest businessman with no political ambitions found himself pulled into a presidency that no one saw coming. 

Breaking History takes readers inside debates in the Oval Office, double-crosses at the United Nations, tense meetings in Arab palaces, high-stakes negotiations, and the daily barrage of leaks, false allegations, investigations, and West Wing infighting.

A true historical thriller, this book is not your typical political memoir. Kushner details Washington’s intense resistance to change and reveals how he broke through the stalemates of the past. An outsider among outsiders, Kushner was a results-driven executive among beltway power brokers. He questioned old assumptions and delivered unprecedented results on trade, criminal justice reform, production of COVID-19 vaccines, and Middle East peace. His successful negotiation of the Abraham Accords, the most significant diplomatic breakthrough in 50 years, earned him a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Written by one of the few people by Trump’s side from his trip down the golden escalator to his final departure from Andrews Air Force Base, Breaking History provides the most honest, nuanced, and definitive understanding of a presidency that will be studied for generations.

    Its so sad how the media portrayed Jared and the Trump team when we all should be thanking them for working so hard toward creating a significantly more peaceful world. So many milestones that should’ve been covered but ignored by media and late night talk show hosts. It really is all so sad. If Jared ever runs for president, he has my vote.
  • A true portal into the Trump White House

    Excellent insight into the Trump Presidency and the meaningful contributions Jared made supporting Trump. I was not surprised to read DJT had a near photographic memory. I had no idea about the effort and diplomacy involved in the Abraham Accord. This was a very underreported event.

    What a book! It was fascinating to get a behind the scenes look into Trump’s White House. Especially when compared to what is happening there now (Biden in September 2022), it is amazing to see how much they accomplished together. Jared was a huge piece of it all too. I recommend to anyone wanting to read a great story.
  • What Jared Helped Accomplish

    Fascinating behind the scene memoir of selected challenges, failures and accomplishments of the Trump Administration. Written from a personal perspective, Jared sheds light on the difficulties of trying to execute as an outsider in Washington. Whatever your political views, the book is worth reading to understand how NAFTA was renegotiated, prison reform was enacted, Abraham Accords miraculously were signed and the COVID vaccine was delivered. He was intimately involved in these areas and provided valuable insight as how they were each accomplished through perseverance and personal connections. The book was a little light on criticism of President Trump and didn’t provide any significant commentary on the Capitol Riots. I would have liked for Jared to apply the same lens used on the above topics to understand Trumps position on the last election. Overall, a very enjoyable and worthwhile read.

    A behind the scenes look of a senior advisor at the White House during the Trump administration. This is a compelling and fast paced recount of Kushner’s experience in government. Great book.
