A Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters explosive account of the inner workings of the George W. Bush administration, the most secretive White House of modern times. This vivid, unfolding narrative is like no other book that has been written about the Bush presidency -- or any that is likely to be written soon. At its core are the candid assessments of former U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul ONeill, for two years the administrations top economic official, a principal of the National Security Council, and a tutor to the new President. He is the only member of Bushs innermost circle to leave and then to agree to speak frankly about what has really been happening inside the White House. ONeills account is supported by Suskinds interviews with many participants in the administration, by transcripts of meetings, and by voluminous documents that cover most areas of domestic and foreign policy. The result is a disclosure of breadth and depth unparalleled for an ongoing presidency. As readers are taken to the very epicenter of government, this news-making volume offers a definitive view of the characters and conduct of Bush and his closest advisers as they manage crucial domestic policies and global strategies at a time of life-and-death crises. Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Christine Todd Whitman, and many of their aides are seen in an intimate, "unmanaged" way -- as is Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, ONeills close friend and ally. Along the way, the central conflicts of this administrations governance -- between politics and policy, ideology and analysis -- are starkly visible through the lens of recent events and the revelation of the often unseen intentions that underlie actions. In this book Suskind draws on unique access to present an astonishing account of a President so carefully managed in his public posture that he is unknown to most Americans. Now, he will be known.

Bush y de los miembros de su sequito a partir de 19.000 documentos entregados por Paul O`Neill, ex Secretario del Tesoro destituido a finales de 2002, al periodista Ron Suskind.

Bush y que asistio durante dos años a reuniones en las que "un ciego en una habitacion llena de sordos" programaba el futuro de la economia y de la politica internacionales... en beneficio propio. Segun Paul O`Neill, la finalidad de esas decisiones, la bajada de impuestos y el derrocamie

The inspiring, true coming-of-age story of a ferociously determined young man who, armed only with his intellect and his willpower, fights his way out of despair.In 1993, Cedric Jennings was a bright and ferociously determined honor student at Ballou, a high school in one of Washington D.C.s most dangerous neighborhoods, where the dropout rate was well into double digits and just 80 students out of more than 1,350 boasted an average of B or better. At Ballou, Cedric had almost no friends. He ate lunch in a classroom most days, plowing through the extra work he asked for, knowing that he was really competing with kids from other, harder schools. Cedric Jenningss driving ambitionwhich was fully supported by his forceful motherwas to attend a top college. In September 1995, after years of near superhuman dedication, he realized that ambition when he began as a freshman at Brown University. But he didnt leave his struggles behind. He found himself unprepared for college: he struggled to master classwork and fit in with the white upper-class students. Having traveled too far to turn back, Cedric was left to rely on his intelligence and his determination to maintain hope in the unseena future of acceptance and reward.In this updated edition, A Hope in the Unseen chronicles Cedrics odyssey during his last two years of high school, follows him through his difficult first year at Brown, and tells the story of his subsequent successes in college and the world of work. Eye-opening, sometimes humorous, and often deeply moving, A Hope in the Unseen weaves a crucial new thread into the rich and ongoing narrative of the American experience.

En enero de 2003, Al Qaeda abortó un ataque terrorista con gas letal en el metro de Nueva York un mes y medio antes de la fecha prevista para llevarlo a cabo. Este hecho escalofriante es el último eslabon de una cadena que empezo cuando la CIA dio con el ordenador de un yihadista de Bahrein, donde se habia diseñado un sencillo artefacto que podia liberar rapidamente cianuro de hidrogeno en varios vagones de metro. De haberse producido el atentado, sus consecuencias podrian haber sido aun mas sangrientas que las del 11-S. Ron Suskind saca a la luz este dato en La doctrina del 1% como muestra de que lo que sucedio a partir del 12 de septiembre de 2001 en Estados Unidos fue casi tan importante como lo acontecido el dia anterior. Ese fue el dia en que empezo a fraguarse la respuesta a la tragedia y que forjaria el caracter de la nacion para las proximas decadas. Tambien fue el dia en que se crearon dos grandes escenarios para representar la venganza: el de las grandes caras conocidas que guiaban el barco del estado y que hacian pomposos pronunciamientos, y el de los hombres y mujeres que, invisibles al resto del mundo, estaban librando la autentica batalla, es decir, interpretaban mensajes en clave, estudiaban pistas, recibian informes contradictorios, y, finalmente, ponian todo
