Über dieses Buch

2020 ist das Schicksalsjahr der USA. Im November wird der Präsident gewählt, und die Lage spitzt sich dramatisch zu: Wird Trump es noch einmal schaffen? Und was würde das bedeuten? Dieses Buch gibt die Antwort.

Im Gewitter der täglichen Tweets und „News“ treten die beiden Pulitzer-Preisträger von der Washington Post einen Schritt zurück, um die Amtszeit Trumps Schritt für Schritt zu rekonstruieren. Sie nutzen eine Fülle von neuen Details und Erkenntnissen, die sie aus Hunderten Stunden Interviewmaterial mit mehr als 200 Verwaltungsbeamten, Trump-Vertrauten und anderen Augenzeugen gewonnen haben, um entscheidende Muster hinter dem täglichen Chaos in der Regierung aufzudecken. Exzellent recherchiert und meisterhaft erzählt, lassen sie ein Bild von Trump entstehen, das uns besorgt stimmen sollte: Seine Versuche, das amerikanische System und die Demokratie zu unterlaufen, sind erfolgreicher als gedacht. In diesem Jahr geht es wirklich um alles.
