Best-selling author of Fire and Fury and chronicler of the Trump White House Michael Wolff dissects more of the major monsters, media whores, and vainglorious figures of our time. His scalpel opens their lives, careers, and always equivocal endgames with the same vividness and wit he brought to his disemboweling of the former president.

Instead, we must look beyond the Chinese state, to non-state actors from China.

These problems are incredibly dynamic and complex, involving an ever-shifting array of factors, actors, and circumstances.
