All or Nothing - How Trump Recaptured America

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The author of Fire and Fury delivers a breathtaking insider account of the 2024 Trump campaign undoubtedly the wildest, most unpredictable campaign in U.S. history, including multiple criminal trials, two assassination attempts, and a sudden switch of opponents.

All or Nothing takes readers on a journey accompanying Donald Trump on his return to power as only Michael Wolff, the foremost chronicler of the Trump era, can do it. As Trump cruelly and swiftly dispatches his opponents, heaps fire and fury on the prosecutors and judges who are pursuing him, and mocks and belittles anyone in his way, including the president of the United States, this becomes not just another election but perhaps, both sides say, the last election. The stakes could not be clearer: Either the establishment destroys Donald Trump, or he destroys the establishment.

What soon emerges is a split-screen reality: On one side, a picture that could not be worse for Trump: an inescapable, perhaps mortal legal quagmire; on the other side, an entirely positive political outlook: overwhelming support within his party, ever-rising polling numbers, and lackluster opposition. Through personal access to Trump s inner circle, Wolff details a behind-the-scenes, revealing landscape of Trumpworld and its unlikely cast of primary players as well as the candidate himself, the most successful figure in American politics since, arguably, Roosevelt, but who might easily seem to be raving mad.

Threading a needle between tragedy and farce, the fate of the nation, the liberal ideal, and democracy itself, All or Nothing paints a gobsmacking portrait of a man whose behavior is so unimaginable, so uncontrolled, so unmindful of cause and effect, that it defeats all the structures and logic of civic life. And yet here in one of the most remarkable comebacks in American political history, Trump is victorious. This is not just a story about politics: It is a vivid expos é of the demons, discord, and anarchy the fire, fury, and future of American life under Trump.

Rezension:

Wolff, the one true laureate of the Trump years. The Washington Post

The book is undeniably gripping a veritable harvest of slime, sycophancy and sleaze that tells the story of Trump 2.0, an aggrieved pugilist waging a life or death campaign. Nicolas Niarchos, The New York Times

It is Wolff s fourth book about Trump, and it s as kinetic and entertaining as all of them. The Telegraph

The real importance of his books is the unflinching portrait they paint of a man for whom everything, including governing and policymaking, is a matter of personal caprice. The natural inclination when writing about presidents is to take their politics seriously, and to try to uncover a coherent vision behind their actions. Wolff a resolutely unsentimental writer resists that impulse, which allows him to see Trump clearly. The Yale Review

Wolff gives a fly-on-the-wall account of Trump s 2024 election run, anchored by a Technicolor portrait of the candidate s egotis m, wild mood swings, and steadfast rejection of reality. . . . This is a singular and penetrating diagnosis of the president s character and managerial style. Publishers Weekly
