Author of the groundbreaking number-one New York Times bestseller This Town, Mark Leibovich returns with a masterly collection of portraits of Washington's elite, and wannabe elites.

Twenty years ago the most common cause of death for medical humanitarians and other aid workers was traffic accidents; today it is violent attacks. And the death of each doctor, nurse, paramedic, midwife, and vaccinator is multiplied untold times in the vulnerable populations deprived of their care. In a 2005 report, the ICRC found that for every soldier killed in the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, more than 60 civilians died due to loss of immunizations and other basic health services.

Courtroom 302 is the fascinating story of one year in Chicago's Cook County Criminal Courthouse, the busiest felony courthouse in the country. Here we see the system through the eyes of the men and women who experience it, not only in the courtroom but in the lockup, the jury room, the judge's chambers, the spectators' gallery. From the daily grind of the court to the highest-profile case of the year, Steve Bogira's masterful investigation raises fundamental issues of race, civil rights, and justice in America.

"No more dramatic courtroom scene has ever been enacted," reported the Syracuse Herald on May 22, 1915, as it covered "the greatest libel suit in history", a battle fought between former President Theodore Roosevelt and the leader of the Republican party.

The furious Barnes responded by suing Roosevelt for an enormous sum that could have financially devastated him.

Un relato desde el corazón de la Casa Blanca. La habitación donde sucedió son unas memorias explosivas, controvertidas y sorprendentes. En ellas, John Bolton, exconsejero de Seguridad Nacional y antiguo colaborador de los presidentes Ronald Reagan, Bush padre y Bush hijo, ofrece el relato más completo y sustancial de la Administración Trump que se haya publicado hasta la fecha, con el valor añadido de haber sido escrito por un funcionario de alto nivel que tuvo acceso casi diario a Donald Trump.

Caught in a legal hurricane, Donald Trump faces a staggering 91 felony charges across a labyrinth of state and federal courts. These accusations, ranging from electoral fraud to document mishandling, carry the chilling threat of prison time. But the storm rages beyond criminal courts. A New York civil suit accuses him of orchestrating a years-long pyramid scheme of inflated property values, potentially toppling his business empire. And like persistent rain clouds, ongoing investigations, and legal proceedings shadow both his personal life and his political aspirations.
