Eric Barrett was there when Hendrix set Woodstock ablaze, when paranoia crackled through Toronto Airport, when his music electrified a sea of 600,000 at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival, and in the quiet hours backstage when he revealed the insecurities behind his genius. Hendrix confided in few people. Barrett was one of them. ‘Experienced’ is Barrett’s unflinching memoir: the definitive inside account of Hendrix as friend, bandleader, and phenomenon. It strips away the mythology to reveal the man in all his brilliance and contradiction – volatile, generous, insecure, incandescently creative, and always in pursuit of the next sound. His final years were tested and defined on British soil. Taking readers into performances that veered between transcendence and chaos, Barrett captures a Hendrix rarely seen, nervous before British crowds and afraid that the country that had once embraced him might be moving on.

With ‘Fire and Fury’, Michael Wolff defined the first phase of the Trump administration; now, in ‘Siege’, he has written an equally essential and explosive book about a presidency that is under fire from almost every side. A fresh narrative that begins just as Trump’s second year as president is getting underway and ends with the delivery of the Mueller report, this book reveals an administration that is perpetually beleaguered by investigations and a president who is increasingly volatile, erratic and exposed.
