Bannon was a bomb-throwing pugilist who'd never run a campaign and was despised by Democrats and Republicans alike. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Yet Bannon's hard-edged ethno-nationalism and 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 and 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, and Bannon, its inscrutable mastermind, believed it was the culmination of a hard-right global uprising that would change the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Any study of Trump's rise to the presidency is unavoidably a study of Bannon. \u003ci\u003eDevil's Bargain\u003c\/i\u003e is a tour-de-force telling of the remarkable confluence of circumstances that decided the election, many of them orchestrated by Bannon and his allies, who really did plot a vast, right-wing conspiracy to stop Clinton. To understand Trump's extraordinary rise and Clinton's fall, you have to weave Trump's story together with Bannon's, or else it doesn't make sense.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49559405592849,"sku":"GOR009763753","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49758952325393,"sku":"CIN0735225044G","price":4.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50131441451281,"sku":"CIN0735225044VG","price":4.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50183474774289,"sku":"CIN0735225044A","price":4.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53150480105745,"sku":"GOR014781384","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0735225044.jpg?v=1751010244","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/devil-s-bargain-book-joshua-green-9780735225046","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
