As ideological ferment grips Russia, a small group of revolutionaries, led by Pyotr Verkhovensky & inspired by Nikolai Stavrogin, plan to spread destruction & anarchy throughout the country. Morally bankrupt, they are prepared to use whatever means necessary to achieve their goal, including murder & incitement to suicide. But when they are forced to test the limits of their doctrine & kill one of their own to secure the secrecy of their mission, the ragtag group breaks up in mutual recrimination. Devils is at once a compelling political statement & a study of atheism & its calamitous effect on a country that is teetering on the edge of an abyss. Seen as Dostoevsky`s most powerful indictment of man`s propensity to violence, this darkly humorous work, shot through with grotesque comedy, is presented here in Roger Cockrell`s masterful new translation. ...

The instant 1 New York Times bestseller. From the reporter who was there at the very beginning comes the revealing inside story of the partnership between Steve Bannon & Donald Trump
- the key to understanding the rise of the alt-right, the fall of Hillary Clinton, & the hidden forces that drove the greatest upset in American political history. Based on dozens of interviews conducted over six years, Green spins the master narrative of the 2016 campaign from its origins in the far fringes of right-wing politics & reality television to its culmination inside Trump`s penthouse on election night. The shocking elevation of Bannon to head Trump`s flagging presidential campaign on August 17, 2016, hit political Washington like a thunderclap & seemed to signal the meltdown of the Republican Party. Bannon was a bomb-throwing pugilist who`d never run a campaign & was despised by Democrats & Republicans alike. Yet Bannon`s hard-edged ethno-nationalism & his elaborate, years-long plot to destroy Hillary Clinton paved the way for Trump`s unlikely victory. Trump became the avatar of a dark but powerful worldview that dominated the airwaves & spoke to voters whom others couldn`t see. Trump`s campaign was the final phase of a populist insurgency that had been building up in America for years, & Bannon, its inscrutable mastermind, believed it was the culmination of a hard-right global uprising that would change the world. Any study of Trump`s rise to the presidency is unavoidably a study of Bannon. Devil`s Bargain is a tour-de-force telling of the remarkable confluence of circumstances that decided the election, many of them orchestrated by Bannon & his allies, who really did plot a vast, right-wing conspiracy to stop Clinton. To understand Trump`s extraordinary rise & Clinton`s fall, you have to weave Trump`s story together with Bannon`s, or else it doesn`t make sense.

All stories in the valley have to begin with the Devil... After the blizzard of 1913, it was weeks before anyone got in or out. By that time, what had happened there, what the Devil had done, was already fable. Devil`s Day is a day for children now, of course. A tradition it`s easy to mock, from the outside. But it`s important to remember why we do what we do. It`s important to know what our grandfathers have passed down to us. Because it`s hard to underst&, if you`re not from the valley, how this place is in your blood. That`s why I came back, with Kat, & not just because the Gaffer was dead. Though that year we may have let the Devil in after all... ...
