Michael Wolff, autor del fenómeno de ventas Fuego y furia, regresa de nuevo para llevarnos dentro de la presidencia de Trump y revelar a una Casa Blanca bajo asedio.

Si Fuego y furia definió la primera fase de la administración de Trump, ahora, en Asedio, Wolff ha escrito un libro igualmente imprescindible y explosivo sobre una presidencia que se encuentra en el punto de mira desde todos los ángulos. En una narración de espectacular frescura, que comienza con el inicio del segundo año de la presidencia de Trump y termina con la entrega del informe Mueller, Asedio revela una administración que se encuentra perpetuamente acosada por investigaciones y un presidente cada vez más volátil, errante y expuesto.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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.
Michael Wolff, a columnist for Vanity Fair and a two-time National Magazine Award winner, is one of the nation's most influential writers about media, culture, and politics. He is a commentator for CNBC and a founder of Newser (newser.com), the news aggregator. In 2003, he achieved international recognition for his dispatches from the Persian Gulf as the Iraq War began. His work, which has been widely anthologized, has appeared in numerous publications in the United States, including New York magazine, where he was a columnist, and the Guardian and Spectator in the United Kingdom. He is the author of four other books, including Autumn of the Moguls and Burn Rate. He lives in New York City. View titles by Michael Wolff
