Maggie Haberman Libros

Desde una periodista galardonada con el Pulitzer, llega un profundo análisis que documenta el ascenso de Donald J. Trump en Nueva York, su tumultuosa post-presidencia y su posible resurgimiento. Pocos han cubierto a Trump de manera tan extensa o comprenden sus motivaciones tan profundamente como Maggie Haberman. A través de cientos de entrevistas, incluyendo conversaciones con el propio Trump, presenta una figura compleja y contradictoria: capaz de amabilidad pero también de crueldad, combativa pero insegura, solitaria pero vengativa. Es más inteligente de lo que sugieren sus críticos y más frío de lo que creen sus aliados, un hombre que ha dejado su huella en la cultura popular y ha cimentado sus ambiciones políticas desde hace décadas, llevando la democracia estadounidense a sus límites. La narrativa de su vida y presidencia gira en torno a intereses egoístas, revelando un mundo que moldeó su carácter a través de relaciones transaccionales con diversas figuras, incluidas novias, socios comerciales y aliados políticos. Estas interacciones informaron su comportamiento en la Casa Blanca, resonando con sus experiencias pasadas. En esta obra perspicaz, Haberman entrelaza los eventos de la vida de Trump, ofreciendo un relato definitivo de una era transformadora en la historia política estadounidense.
