Ein rasanter Politthriller. Und die Leiche ist die Demokratie
»Biden, seine Familie und sein Team haben sich von ihrem Eigeninteresse und der Angst vor einer weiteren Amtszeit Trumps leiten lassen, und deshalb versucht, einen zuweilen verwirrten alten Mann für vier weitere Jahre ins Oval Office zu bringen. Wie viele wussten davon? Was wurde vertuscht? War es eine Verschwörung?« Jake Tapper und Alex Thompson
Die amerikanische Tragödie: Wie die Demokraten Trump den Teppich ausgerollt haben
Zwei der angesehensten Journalisten Amerikas liefern eine schonungslose und dramatische Abrechnung mit einer der schicksalhaftesten Entscheidungen der amerikanischen Politikgeschichte: Joe Bidens Kandidatur zur Wiederwahl – trotz Anzeichen seines körperlichen und kognitiven Verfalls, trotz verzweifelter Bemühungen, das Ausmaß seines Zustands zu verbergen. Jetzt kommt zum ersten Mal die ganze, beunruhigende Wahrheit ans Licht. Jake Tapper und Alex Thompson nehmen uns mit hinter verschlossene Türen und in private Gespräche zwischen den wichtigsten Personen und enthüllen, wie groß das Problem war und wie viele Leute davon wussten. Bidens Entscheidung, erneut zu kandidieren, hatte eine Kampagne der Verleugnung und Vertuschung zur Folge, die direkt zu Donald Trumps Rückkehr an die Macht geführt hat – und zu allem, was in der Folge geschehen ist.
Charlie and Margaret discover the dark side of Hollywood in this sequel to New York Times bestseller The Hellfire Club-a thrilling cocktail of corruption and ambition from CNN's Jake Tapper.
Charlie and Margaret Marder, political stars in 1960s Washington DC, know all too well how the tangled web of power in the nation's capital can operate. But while they long to settle into the comforts of home, Attorney General Robert Kennedy has other plans. He needs them to look into a potential threat not only to the presidency, but to the security of the United States itself.
Charlie and Margaret quickly find themselves on a flight to sunny Los Angeles, where they'll face off against a dazzling world of stars and studios. At the center of their investigation is Frank Sinatra, a close friend of President John F. Kennedy and a rumored mob crony, whom Charlie and Margaret must befriend to get the inside scoop. But in a town built on illusions, where friends and foes all look alike, nothing is easy, and drinks by the pool at the Sands and late-night adventures with the Rat Pack soon lead to a body in the trunk of their car. Before they know it, Charlie and Margaret are being pursued by sinister forces from Hollywood's stages to the newly founded Church of Scientology, facing off against the darkest and most secret side of Hollywood's power.
As the Academy Awards loom, and someone near and dear to Margaret goes missing, Charlie and Margaret find the clock is not only ticking but running out. Someone out there knows what they've uncovered and can't let them leave alive. Corruption and ambition form a deadly mix in this fast-paced sequel to The Hellfire Club.
NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

Four months after the battle, a review revealed that there was no reason for the troops at Keating to have been there in the first place.

This modern classic of military history is an indictment of the management of the war in Afghanistan, and a thrilling tale of true courage in the face of impossible odds.

A las 5:58 am del 3 de octubre de 2009, a justo 14 millas de distancia de la frontera con Pakistán, fue despiadadamente atacado el Puesto de Combate Keating, ubicado en un aterradoramente vulnerable terreno en Afganistán. A pesar de que 53 norteamericanos hicieron frente a casi 400 guerrilleros del Taliban, sus muertes convirtieron esta batalla en la más sangrienta y fatal de la guerra para los Estados Unidos en ese año. Cuatro meses después de la batalla, una revisión del Pentágono reveló que no existía razón alguna para que las tropas en Keating se hubieran encontrado allí.
En Puesto Fronterizo (The Outpost), Jake Tapper ofrece una poderosa descripción de la saga el Puesto de Combate Keating, desde su establecimiento hasta su eventual destrucción, introduciendo un reparto inolvidable de soldados y sus familias, un lugar y una guerra que siguen siendo profundamente lejanos para la mayoría de los norteamericanos.

At 6:00 a.m. on the morning of October 3, 2009, Combat Outpost Keating was viciously attacked by Taliban insurgents. The 53 U.S. troops, having been stationed at the bottom of three steep mountains, were severely outmanned by nearly 400 Taliban fighters. Though the Americans ultimately prevailed, their casualties made it one of the war's deadliest battles for U.S. forces. And after more than three years in that dangerous and vulnerable valley a mere 14 miles from the Pakistan border, the U.S. abandoned and bombed the camp. A Pentagon investigation later concluded that there was no reason for Outpost Keating to have been there in the first place.
THE OUTPOST is a tour de force of investigative journalism. Jake Tapper exposes the origins of this tragic and confounding story, exploring the history of the camp and detailing the stories of soldiers heroic and doomed, shadowed by the recklessness of their commanders in Washington, D.C. and a war built on constantly shifting sands.
