New Releases by Maggie Haberman

A riveting, intimate and revelatory account of the most radical and consequential presidency of our time. From the two reporters who have covered him more closely than perhaps anyone else over the past decade comes this definitive portrait of Donald Trump in the White House. Regime Change covers the first year of Trump’s second presidency – a term liberated from every constraint that defined his first. The generals who once told him ‘no’ are gone, and the lawyers who remain have learned to pick their battles. His administration has flouted court orders and he has claimed powers that Congress once checked. What remains is a President willing to take enormous risks that have upended global markets and toppled heads of state; an imperial President operating almost entirely on instinct alone. Based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administration’s most closely guarded rooms, Regime Change takes the reader inside the Situation Room and into the secret Oval Office deliberations that have launched a new war in the Middle East and seen Trump seal the border, surge National Guard troops into cities, and send immigration agents into deadly clashes with protestors. Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan bring us behind the scenes of a presidency that has transformed the culture, turned the Justice Department into an agent of retribution against the President’s enemies and the office itself into a brazen vehicle for profit. They reveal a second term propelled by a historical irony that Trump himself has come to understand: that the indictments, the convictions, the assassination attempts and four years of exile made him not weaker but far more powerful, more vengeful and more willing to gamble than any President in modern history. This is the story of how Trump has used that power, who has tried to stop him, and why nearly all of them have failed. It is also the story of something American journalists are more accustomed to chronicling in distant capitals than in their own: a President who has fundamentally altered the nature of the office he holds – and, with it, how the rest of the world understands American power. It is an account of Regime Change right here in America – a landmark real-time history of a modern presidency like no other.

La gran obra que se adentra, como ninguna antes, en la biografía y la psicología de Donald Trump El término «camaleón» se refiere a una persona que tiene la capacidad de cambiar de actitud y comportamiento, adoptando el más ventajoso en cada caso.

Y ¿qué obstáculos podrían evitar su regreso a la presidencia? A través de entrevistas con cientos de fuentes, incluidas varias con el protagonista de la obra, que realizó a lo largo de los años, la periodista Maggie Haberman analiza la maquinaria de poder del entorno político de Trump, marcado por relaciones transaccionales y manipulaciones políticas, así como el mundo que produjo y alimentó a este personaje singular que se ha convertido en el líder más polarizador de nuestra era.

Donald Trump var tidigt en mytomspunnen man. Många av historierna fabricerades och spreds av Trump själv, som då var en publicitetshungrig imperiebyggare i fastighets- och hotellbranschen. Och när han sedan klev in i politiken och blev USA:s president var det fortfarande lögnerna och osanningarna som definierade honom. Ingen journalist har följt Donald Trumps karriär lika länge som Maggie Haberman och ingen är lika väl skickad att punktera myterna och ge en heltäckande bild av hans osannolika färd mot toppen. Confidence man är den definitiva biografin om Donald Trump, baserad på hundratals intervjuer, bland annat med Trump själv och hans innersta krets.
