During the height of the Vietnam War, Richard Nixon employed an unusual scare tactic in his efforts to reach an honorable withdrawal. He led Vietnam to believe he was crazy enough to start a nuclear war. Nixon would come to describe his volatile approach of threatening unpredictability as “The Madman Theory.” From his first days in office President Trump has, both intentionally and by accident, employed his own “madman theory”, creating an unpredictable and unstudied foreign policy.

Featuring exclusive interviews with an array of current and former administration officials, including Fiona Hill, Susan Gordon, Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, Joseph Yun andH.R. McMaster, THE MADMAN THEORY answers the critical questions provoked by the president’s chaotic take on foreign policy—has Trump made America greater or weaker? Safe or less safe? Smart, authoritative, and incredibly compelling, Sciutto’s definitive book explains exactly how Trump’s destructive diplomacy has disrupted the world order in these four years, and how hard it will be to restore it.
