Michael Wolff Libri

Nel novembre 2016, l'elezione di Donald Trump alla presidenza degli Stati Uniti dà il via a un vero uragano nella politica americana, il più violento dai tempi del Watergate. Per documentarne gli effetti, Michael Wolff, giornalista di Washington che già durante la campagna elettorale aveva frequentato il quartier generale di Trump, si installa sui divani della Casa Bianca e osserva da vicino, "come una mosca sul muro", le azioni e le discussioni tra lo staff e il presidente. Il suo scopo è raccogliere confidenze esplosive non solo sulle faide interne che portano al licenziamento di strateghi di primo piano come Steve Bannon, l'anima nera della campagna elettorale, ma anche sui rapporti tra lo staff di Trump e la Russia e sui giudizi impietosi che i più stretti collaboratori danno del loro capo. Il risultato è un libro che Trump ha tentato invano di bloccare e che è diventato un caso mondiale perché racconta da una prospettiva unica la storia appassionante di un mandato imprevedibile e impetuoso quanto il presidente stesso.

The book chronicles the remarkable journey of jazz master Michael Wolff, detailing his triumph over personal and health challenges, including Tourette's syndrome and cancer. It explores his transformation from a segregated Southern upbringing to becoming a celebrated musician on global stages. Wolff's story is one of resilience, showcasing his determination and the power of music as a vehicle for overcoming adversity and achieving success.

This is about the rise and fall of an entrepreneur in the early 1990s and is full of inside information on an extraordinary period.

Michael Wolff was a journalist and writer; in 1998 he is a journalist and writer again. But in the first half of the '90s he was an Internet entrepreneur, Chairman and CEO of Wolff New Media. This is Wolff's story. BURN RATE is hugely informative about the world of the net and the web, search engines, closed systems, online pornography; it is also incredibly funny. As readable as a novel, BURN RATE is an all too human story of one man, at first idealistic and naive, then corrupted and increasingly cynical, and eventually burned out and tired, and of a world that bears as much resemblance to the school playground (not least in the age of it's major players) as it does to the world of conventional businesses. If there is one book which tells us about what is going on in the complex and confusing struggle for the future of the Internet it is this one.

In a career spanning four decades Rupert Murdoch has built News International into a $70 billion corporation. Through a series of breathtaking gambles he expanded from his base in the Australian newspaper business to achieve a preeminent position in the UK's media, and to control a huge slice of Hollywood. Increasingly his company has built a presence in online and digital media, most recently through its acquisition of MySpace, and he is steadily expanding into Southeast Asia. But Murdoch is more than a predatory and merciless deal-maker. His company does not only generate dizzying profits and growth rates. His company generates the information that forms our understanding of the world. He presides over what we read, what we watch, what we come to believe about ourselves, to an extent that is without serious parallel anywhere on earth. In the words of Michael Wolff, Murdoch 'held more power over more time than any other contemporary figure'. Working with unrivalled access to Murdoch himself, his family, and his inner circle of advisors, Wolff shows how Murdoch came to wield this power and the uses he has made of it. Murdoch has become almost invisible behind the strong emotions he provokes. Now Wolff's account reveals the qualities that took Murdoch to the top of the world and have kept him there. In doing so he tells a business story that is also the story of a man's life, and the story of our times.
