Donald Trumps första tid i Vita huset var häpnadsväckande - och fylld till brädden av skandaler. Med draghjälp av presidentens »allierade« i Vita husets västra flygel skildrar den grävande journalisten Michael Wolff hur Donald Trump skapade ett presidentskap lika labilt, glödande och vansinnigt som han själv.
Fire and Fury: Donald Trump och Vita huset inifrån blev en enorm succé när den gavs ut i USA och har nu sålt i över 2 miljoner exemplar världen över. Denna utgåva innehåller ett nyskrivet efterord av författaren.

Michael Wolff kertoo sisäpiirin tarinan aikamme kiistellyimmästä presidentistä

Donald Trumpin virkakauden ensimmäiset yhdeksän kuukautta olivat myrskyisää, räävitöntä ja hypnoottisen kiinnostavaa aikaa. Bestsellerkirjailija Michael Wolff sai poikkeukselliset mahdollisuudet haastatella Länsisiiven sisäpiiriläisiä. Wolff kertoo mukaansatempaavan tarinan siitä, kuinka Trump aloitti presidenttikauden, joka on aivan yhtä tulinen ja arvaamaton kuin mies itse.

Kirjassa Wolff valottaa yksityiskohtaisesti Valkoisen talon kaaosta. Kirja paljastaa muun muassa, mitä alaiset oikeasti ajattelevat presidentti Trumpista, mikä sai Trumpin syyttämään presidentti Obamaa salakuuntelusta, mikä oli todellinen syy FBI:n johtajan James Comeyn irtisanomiseen, miksi päästrategi Steve Bannon ja Trumpin vävy Jared Kushner eivät voineet olla samassa huoneessa ja kuka varsinaisesti johtaa Trumpin hallinnon strategiaa Bannonin irtisanomisen jälkeen.Yksikään aiempi presidentti ei ole jakanut Yhdysvaltain kansaa näin jyrkästi kahteen leiriin. Michael Wolffin hätkähdyttävä ja journalistisesti ansiokas teos näyttää, miten ja miksi Donald Trumpista on tullut eripuran ja vastakkainasettelun kuningas.

Michael Wolff on saanut työstään lukuisia palkintoja, muun muassa kaksi National Magazine Awardia. Hän on toiminut kolumnistina lehdissä Vanity Fair, New York, Hollywood Reporter, GQ (Iso-Britannia), USA Today ja Guardian ja kirjoittanut useita kirjoja. Hän asuu Manhattanilla.

Michael Wolff, author of the bombshell bestseller Fire and Fury, once again takes us inside the Trump presidency to reveal a White House under siege.Just one year into Donald Trump's term as president, Michael Wolff told the electrifying story of a White House consumed by controversy, chaos, and intense rivalries. Fire and Fury, an instant sensation, defined the first phase of the Trump administration; now, in Siege, Wolff has written an equally essential and explosive book about a presidency that is under fire from almost every side.At the outset of Trump's second year as president, his situation is profoundly different. No longer tempered by experienced advisers, he is more impulsive and volatile than ever. But the wheels of justice are inexorably turning: Robert Mueller's "witch hunt" haunts Trump every day, and other federal prosecutors are taking a deep dive into his business affairs. Many in the political establishment-even some members of his own administration-have turned on him and are dedicated to bringing him down. The Democrats see victory at the polls, and perhaps impeachment, in front of them. Trump, meanwhile, is certain he is invincible, making him all the more exposed and vulnerable. Week by week, as Trump becomes increasingly erratic, the question that lies at the heart of his tenure becomes ever more urgent: Will this most abnormal of presidencies at last reach the breaking point and implode?Both a riveting narrative and a brilliant front-lines report, Siege provides an alarming and indelible portrait of a president like no other. Surrounded by enemies and blind to his peril, Trump is a raging, self-destructive inferno-and the most divisive leader in American history.

New York Times Bestseller"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."-Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina"Michael Wolff's books were my foundation and port of entry for working on Succession." -Jeremy Strong ("Kendall Roy")Meet the Murdochs and the disastrously dysfunctional family of Fox News. Until recently, they formed the most powerful media and political force in the land, for better or worse. Now their empire is cracking up and crashing down.For almost three decades, Fox News has not only made political careers (see: President Donald J. Trump) but also fundamentally altered the political landscape of the United States. It is a truism: as Fox goes, so goes the nation-into further divisiveness and awash in fake news, a gleefully polarizing company. But just as Fox has pushed America apart, now it too is coming apart. As is the family dynasty behind it.In his irresistible trilogy on the chaotic presidency of Donald Trump-Fire and Fury, Siege, and Landslide-the gadfly journalist Michael Wolff led readers deep into the twisted corridors of the White House. Now, drawing on years of unprecedented access to the Murdoch family and key players in the world of Fox, he plunges us behind the scenes of another empire of influence, and the result is astonishing and unforgettable.Here is Rupert Murdoch, the ninety-two-year-old Australian billionaire-a fading titan, concerned about his legacy but more concerned about profits. Here are his contentious progeny, jockeying to take over when the old man is gone. Here is star anchor Tucker Carlson, hiding out in his island homes, considering a run for the presidency while his bosses have other plans for him. Sean Hannity, the richest man in television, has his own plans: to put the former POTUS back in office, against the bosses' wishes. Meanwhile, Laura Ingraham is just trying to survive in the last man's man's world.Empires fall. Kingdoms come to an end. As lawsuits pummel the financial bedrock and reputation of the network, anchors scramble, and the battling Murdoch heirs make the Roys of TV's Succession seem downright Brady Bunch, Michael Wolff documents, in riveting and revelatory real time, the final days of Fox News.
