Genie und Gewissen
Musik, Macht und Moral - wer war Herbert von Karajan im Nationalsozialismus? Bestseller-Autor Michael Wolffsohn legt durch diese historische Einordnung eine umfassende Neubewertung zu Karajan vor und korrigiert zentrale Fehleinschätzungen über dessen Verhältnis zum Nazi-Regime.Herbert von Karajan gilt als bedeutendster Dirigent des 20 Jahrhunderts. Sein Einfluss auf die Musik - nicht nur die Klassik - ist enorm. Er prägte einen eigenen Klangstil und hat bis heute ca. 300 Mio. Tonträger verkauft. Doch seine Rolle in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus wird kontrovers diskutiert. In Aachen, seiner ehemaligen Wirkungsstätte, wurde 2023 gar eine Büste Karajans aufgrund seiner Vergangenheit entfernt. Allerdings fehlte bislang eine vollständige historische Einordnung.Karajan - unpolitischer Künstler? Opportunistischer Mitläufer? Oder gar überzeugter Regimefreund?Michael Wolffsohn legt auf der Grundlage umfangreicher internationaler Archivarbeit mit teils erstmals ausgewerteten Quellen ein umfassendes Gesamtbild des Stardirigenten vor. Er widerspricht verbreiteten Annahmen einer besonderen Nähe Karajans zum NS-Regime. Wolffsohn betrachtet:Handlungsspielräume, Opportunismus und Strukturzwänge im nationalsozialistischen Kulturapparat,Karajans Mitgliedschaft in der NSDAP,die Bewertung Karajans durch die Entnazifizierung,politische Zuschreibungen von 1945 bis heute und wie sie den Blick auf Karajan prägtensowie Karajans Ehe- und Familienleben anhand zahlreicher Quellenstücke. Mit "Genie und Gewissen" legt Wolffsohn eine differenzierte Gesamtschau vor, die zentrale Irrtümer korrigiert und eine fundierte Einordnung ermöglicht. Es istein Beitrag zu einer historisch präzisen, nicht ideologisch verzerrten Auseinandersetzung mit Herbert von Karajan,eine exemplarische Untersuchung über die Handlungsspielräume von Künstlern in autokratischen Systemensowie eine Einordnung, ob Kunst nur der Ästhetik oder auch der Politik, Ideologie und Weltanschauung verpflichtet ist.

Alles oder nichts
TRIUMPH DES CHAOS: WARUM DONALD TRUMPS WAHLSIEG UNVERMEIDBAR WAR - UND WAS ER FÜR DIE WELT BEDEUTET Donald Trumps zweite US-Präsidentschaft ist eines der größten politischen Comebacks aller Zeiten und erschüttert die Welt. Das beweist schon der Weg, auf dem er zurück ins Weiße Haus gelangt ist. Der Journalist und Bestsellerautor Michael Wolff hat Trump dabei so eng begleitet wie niemand anderes: Wir dringen in die Kitschwelt von Mar-a-Lago ein, sitzen in unterkühlten Gerichtssälen und im Wohnzimmer des Trump Tower in New York; wir beobachten den US-Präsidenten bei seinen Ausrastern, Geistesblitzen und täglich vierstündigen Golfrunden; wir lernen seine schillernde Entourage kennen, die jetzt auf einflussreichen Posten in Washington sitzt. Wolffs Buch ist ein investigativer Politthriller, der in die Abgründe des Trumpuniversums blickt - und liefert damit einen Schlüssel zum Verständnis jener Gesellschaft, die Trump hervorgebracht hat.

All or Nothing
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of Fire and Fury delivers a breathtaking insider account of the 2024 Trump campaign—undoubtedly the wildest, most unpredictable campaign in U.S. history, including multiple criminal trials, two assassination attempts, and a sudden switch of opponents.All or Nothing takes readers on a journey accompanying Donald Trump on his return to power as only Michael Wolff, the foremost chronicler of the Trump era, can do it. As Trump cruelly and swiftly dispatches his opponents, heaps fire and fury on the prosecutors and judges who are pursuing him, and mocks and belittles anyone in his way, including the president of the United States, this becomes not just another election but perhaps, both sides say, the last election. The stakes could not be clearer: Either the establishment destroys Donald Trump, or he destroys the establishment.What soon emerges is a split-screen reality: On one side, a picture that could not be worse for Trump: an inescapable, perhaps mortal legal quagmire; on the other side, an entirely positive political outlook: overwhelming support within his party, ever-rising polling numbers, and lackluster opposition. Through personal access to Trump’s inner circle, Wolff details a behind-the-scenes, revealing landscape of Trumpworld and its unlikely cast of primary players as well as the candidate himself, the most successful figure in American politics since, arguably, Roosevelt, but who might easily seem to be raving mad.Threading a needle between tragedy and farce, the fate of the nation, the liberal ideal, and democracy itself, All or Nothing paints a gobsmacking portrait of a man whose behavior is so unimaginable, so uncontrolled, so unmindful of cause and effect, that it defeats all the structures and logic of civic life. And yet here in one of the most remarkable comebacks in American political history, Trump is victorious. This is not just a story about politics: It is a vivid exposé of the demons, discord, and anarchy—the fire, fury, and future—of American life under Trump.

Feindliche Nähe
Michael Wolffsohn setzt sich, ausgehend von der aktuellen Politik, in seinem neuen Buch mit dem Verhältnis von Judentum, Christentum und Islam - gestern, heute und morgen - auseinander. In gewohnt pointierter Weise zieht er dazu Geschichte und Theologie heran. Seine illusionslosen und dennoch teils humorvollen und immer messerscharfen Analysen gelten insbesondere Terror, Krieg und Gewalt. Seine große mediale Präsenz als Talkshowgast, Interviewpartner und Publizist erklärt sich durch seine Fähigkeit zu faktengesättigten und allgemeinverständlichen Statements, die auch dieses Buch prägen. Vor dem Hintergrund eines wachsenden Antisemitismus in Europa, einer Zunahme des islamistischen Terrors und des eskalierenden Krieges zwischen Israel und seinen Nachbarn sind Michael Wolffsohns grundsätzliche Einordnungen und Erklärungen zum besseren Verständnis unabdingbar.

Essay on the Principles of Logic
Wolff's book defends the Kantian idea of a "general logic" whose principles underlie special systems of deductive logic. It thus undermines "logical pluralism," which tolerates the co-existence of divergent systems of modern logic without asking for consistent common principles. Part I of Wolff¿s book identifies the formal language in which the most general principles of logic must be expressed. This language turns out to be a version of syllogistic language already used by Aristotle. The universal validity of logical principles, as well as the translatability of other logical languages into this language, are shown to depend only on the meanings of its logical vocabulary. Part II of the book answers the metalogical question concerning the deductive relation between general logic and special logical systems, which also have their own (less general) principles. This part identifies the rules according to which logical rules can be derived from principles. The main result of the book is that the highest principles of logic and metalogics are provided by the syllogistic, when properly understood.

De val
Het einde van de Murdoch-dynastieRupert Murdoch, oprichter van ’s werelds grootste en invloedrijkste media-conglomeraat News Corp, gaat na zeventig jaar met pensioen. Hij heeft onmiskenbaar een stempel gedrukt op het politieke landschap van de afgelopen halve eeuw. Zijn Fox News veranderde het internationale medialandschap voorgoed. Door van nieuws pure sensatie te maken, introduceerde Murdoch het populisme in zowel de Verenigde Staten als Europa, met als hoogtepunt (of dieptepunt) de onvoorwaardelijke steun voor het presidentschap van Donald Trump.Murdoch was betrokken bij de Brexit, hielp Trump aan de macht en overleefde in zijn carrière schandaal na schandaal. Nu, aan het eind van zijn actieve loopbaan, laat hij zijn dynastie op losse schroeven achter, met rechtszaken, een verwoeste reputatie en een intense familiestrijd die de hitserie Succession inspireerde.In het even meeslepende als afschrikwekkende De val openbaart Michael Wolff de omstandigheden en personen die uiteindelijk zullen leiden tot de ondergang van Fox News en News Corp.Michael Wolff is de auteur van onder meer de internationale bestsellers Vuur en woede en Staat van beleg over president Trump, waarvan alleen al in Nederland meer dan 60.000 exemplaren werden verkocht. Hij woont in Manhattan.‘Michael Wolffs boeken vormden de basis voor mijn rol als Kendall Roy in Succession.’Jeremy Strong‘Vermakelijk venijnig en perfect getimed. In Wolffs relaas is Murdoch een soort ongelukkige Frankenstein, die het monster verafschuwt dat hij heeft losgelaten in de wereld, maar waarvan hij niet zeker weet hoe hij het moet bevechten.’The New York Times‘Bloedstollend. Een smeuïge kijk op de ondergang van Fox News. Wolff geeft zijn typische, onverbloemde kijk op de machtige persoonlijkheden aan de top van de zender. Hij heeft er geen moeite mee om zich in te laten met Amerika’s gruwelijkste mensen, of om ze vervolgens schaamteloos af te maken ten dienste van zijn verhaal.’The Washington Post

The Fall
Meet the Murdochs and the disastrously dysfunctional family of Fox News. Until recently, they formed the most powerful media and political force in the land, for better or worse. Now their empire is cracking up and crashing down. For almost three decades, Fox News has not only made political careers (see: President Donald J. Trump) but also fundamentally altered the political landscape of the United States. It is a truism: as Fox goes, so goes the nation--into further divisiveness and awash in fake news, a gleefully polarizing company. But just as Fox has pushed America apart, now it too is coming apart. As is the family dynasty behind it. In his irresistible trilogy on the chaotic presidency of Donald Trump--Fire and Fury, Siege, and Landslide--the gadfly journalist Michael Wolff led readers deep into the twisted corridors of the White House. Now, drawing on years of unprecedented access to the Murdoch family and key players in the world of Fox, he plunges us behind the scenes of another empire of influence, and the result is astonishing and unforgettable. Here is Rupert Murdoch, the ninety-two-year-old Australian billionaire--a fading titan, concerned about his legacy but more concerned about profits. Here are his contentious progeny, jockeying to take over when the old man is gone. Here is star anchor Tucker Carlson, hiding out in his island homes, considering a run for the presidency while his bosses have other plans for him. Sean Hannity, the richest man in television, has his own plans: to put the former POTUS back in office, against the bosses' wishes. Meanwhile, Laura Ingraham is just trying to survive in the last man's man's world. Empires fall. Kingdoms come to an end. As lawsuits pummel the financial bedrock and reputation of the network, anchors scramble, and the battling Murdoch heirs make the Roys of TV's Succession seem downright Brady Bunch, Michael Wolff documents, in riveting and revelatory real time, the final days of Fox News.
