The chapters switch between key points in the campaign and Election Day, enhancing the feel of chaos that must have been a big part of covering the Trump campaign." - Associated Press "A must-ride roller coaster of a memoir. "A cross between The Boys on the Bus and Miss Lonelyhearts" - New York Review of Books "By the end of 'Unbelievable' it's clear how wrong they all were in thinking they could run over "little Katy" (Trump's snide name for Tur.) This book couldn't be more timely, appearing as President Trump ratchets up his attacks on the news media.The more personal story Tur tells in "Unbelievable" is also compelling.One more subject that Tur richly examines is the outrageous sexism of Trump and many of his supporters." - Jill Abramson, New York Times Book Review "A quick and enjoyable read. Unbelievable is a must-read for anyone who still wakes up and wonders, Is this real life Tur was a foreign correspondent who came home to her most foreign story of all. 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. Unbelievable is her darkly comic, fascinatingly bizarre, and often scary story of how America sent a former reality show host to the White House. Through all the long nights, wild scoops, naked chauvinism, dodgy staffers, and fevered debates, no one had a better view than Tur. The Boys on the Bus became the Girls on the Plane. She was part of the first women-led politics team in the history of network news. At one point, he got a crowd so riled up against Tur, Secret Service agents had to walk her to her car. He tried to charm her, intimidate her, and shame her. In return, Trump repeatedly singled Tur out. From day 1 to day 500, Tur documented Trump's inconsistencies, fact-checked his falsities, and called him out on his lies.
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.
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.
