From former Time editor and Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Richard Stengel, Information Wars is the first and only insider account exploring how the U.S. tried -- and failed -- to combat the global rise of disinformation that eventually spilled into the 2016 election.
Written by the co-author of the international bestseller Long Walk to Freedom, Mandela's Way presents twelve powerful lessons on life and leadership based on the life and work of Nelson Mandela, whose fight against apartheid in South Africa has become an enduring example of resistance against injustice and oppression. A recipient of the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize, Mandela is a man who truly changed the course of world history and is arguably the most inspirational figure of the past century. The result of many hours of discussion between the author Richard Stengel and Mandela, Mandela's Way features a series of essential lessons, such as 'Nothing is black and white' and 'Courage is not the absence of fear - it's inspiring others to move beyond it'. Stengel spent two years with Mandela working on his bestselling autobiography Long Walk to Freedom, and through that process became a cherished friend. Mandela is godfather to his two sons and introduced him to his wife. Written with the blessing of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, to whom the author will donate a percentage of his royalties, Mandela's Way is an inspirational book of wisdom that will encourage people of all ages to look within themselves to improve their lives, to reconsider the things they take for granted, and to think about the legacy they leave behind.
Schmeicheln ist, das hat der amerikanische Journalist und Politikberater Richard Stengel herausgefunden, der Kitt, der die Gesellschaft zusammenhält. Aber - man muß wissen, wie! Sonst wird es gefährlich, oder noch schlimmer: Es wird peinlich. In seinem amüsanten Streifzug durch die Geschichte dieser alten Kunst zeigt Stengel, wie man es richtig macht. Ob Pharao, Kaiser, Staatschef oder unser Boß: Niemand ist immun, alle brauchen sie die geschickte und intelligente Schmeichelei. Und: Wir brauchen die Chefs! Also - rauf auf die Schleimspur und nicht ausrutschen!
