America wasthe shining city on a hill. It was the country at the forefront of the worlddemocratic order, the global policeman, the might of its military matched onlyby the depth of its financial reserves. America was the one the world listenedto, whether it wanted to or not. So what happened?Well, a lotof things. In this searing account, Alan Friedman shows how, from thedisastrous Vietnam War to Barack Obama's bungled response to the Arab Spring,American intervention is no longer the decisive action it once was. And now,with the rise of China and Russia, coupled with America's prostration of itselffollowing the election of Donald Trump, the decline of its authority is onlyhastening.We move now,Friedman argues, into the New World Disorder. In this dangerous and unstableworld, the Washington-enforced liberal order is receding, and a new set ofanxieties and alliances are in ascendance. What is America's place in this?Which powers will emerge as leaders? Will the European Union count at all? Weknow one thing: the New World Disorder will challenge Western values tobreaking point.

I många år har journalister velat berätta min historia, men jag har alltid vägrat. Sen gick jag med på att samarbeta med Alan för att jag litar på honom. Som Steve Jobs sa när hans biografi skrevs: Jag kommer att berätta min historia för dig. Du får skriva vad du vill. - Silvio BerlusconiSilvio Berlusconis liv är en berättelse som inte liknar något du hört förut. Från arbetargrabb och smörsångare, via framgångsrika fastighetsaffärer och grundandet av ett enormt medieimperium, till en osannolik resa in i politikens finrum. Och som en ständig följeslagare: rättegångarna, skandalerna och korruptionsanklagelserna som till slut blev hans fall.Journalisten Alan Friedman har varit nära Berlusconi under många a r och har efter hundratals intervjutimmar en unik inblick i hans värld. Vi möter Berlusconis vänner och motståndare - Clinton, Bush, Obama, Sarkozy, Merkel, Kaddafi - men får också ta del av hans liv utanför politiken - skandalfesterna, barndomen, kvinnoaffärerna, passionen för musik och hans älskade fotbollslag AC Milan.Ett underhållande och berikande porträtt av miljardären och playboypolitikern som totalt dominerade italiensk politik under två decennier. Alan Friedman har återigen skrivit en aktuell och kontroversiell bok. Financial Times
