How did an Ivy League activist become a global fugitive? The New York Times bestselling co-author of Billion Dollar Whale and Blood and Oil chronicles the heart-pounding tale of a self-taught operative his high-stakes attempt subvert the North Korean regime. "Propulsive . . . Hope's account is both deeply reported and novelistic."--Ed Caesar, contributing staff writer for The New Yorker, author of The Moth and the Mountain In the early 2000s, Adrian Hong was a soft-spoken Yale undergraduate looking for his place in the world. After reading a harrowing account of life inside North Korea, he realized he had found a cause so pressing that he was ready to devote his life to it. What began as a trip down the safe and well-worn path of organizing soon morphed into something more dangerous. Hong journeyed to China, outwitting Chinese security services as he helped asylum-seeking North Koreans escape across the border. Meanwhile, Hong's secret organization, Cheollima Civil Defense (later renamed Free Joseon), began tracking the North Korean government's activities, and its volatile third-generation ruler, Kim Jong-un. Free Joseon targeted North Korean diplomats who might be persuaded to defect, while drawing up plans for a government-in-exile. After the shocking broad-daylight assassination in 2017 of Kim Jong-nam, the dictator's older brother, Hong, along with U.S. Marine veteran Christopher Ahn, helped ferry Kim Jong-nam's family to safety. Then Hong took the group a step further. He initiated a series of high-stakes direct actions, culminating in an armed raid at the North Korean embassy in Madrid--an act that would put Ahn behind bars and turn Hong into one of the world's most unlikely fugitives. In the tradition of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, The Rebel and the Kingdom is an exhilarating account of a man who turns his back on the status quo--to instead live boldly by his principles. Acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Bradley Hope--who broke numerous details of Hong's operations in The Wall Street Journal--now reveals the full contours of this remarkable story of idealism and insanity, hubris and heroism, all set within the secret battle for the future of the world's most mysterious and unsettling nation.

Named a Best Book of 2018 by the Financial Times and Fortune, this "thrilling" (Bill Gates) New York Times bestseller exposes how a "modern Gatsby" swindled over $5 billion with the aid of Goldman Sachs in "the heist of the century" (Axios). Now a #1 international bestseller, Billion Dollar Whale is "an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale" (Publishers Weekly), revealing how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest heists in history. In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude--one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system. Over a decade, Low, with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others, siphoned billions of dollars from an investment fund--right under the nose of global financial industry watchdogs. Low used the money to finance elections, purchase luxury real estate, throw champagne-drenched parties, and even to finance Hollywood films like The Wolf of Wall Street. By early 2019, with his yacht and private jet reportedly seized by authorities and facing criminal charges in Malaysia and in the United States, Low had become an international fugitive, even as the U.S. Department of Justice continued its investigation. Billion Dollar Whale has joined the ranks of Liar's Poker, Den of Thieves, and Bad Blood as a classic harrowing parable of hubris and greed in the financial world.
Blood and Oil: Mohammed Bin Salman¿s Ruthless Quest for Global Power

From award-winning Wall Street Journal reporters comes a revelatory look at the inner workings of the world's most powerful royal family, and how the struggle for succession produced Saudi Arabia's charismatic but ruthless Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, aka MBS. 35-year-old Mohammed bin Salman's sudden rise stunned the world. Political and business leaders such as former UK prime minister Tony Blair and WME chairman Ari Emanuel flew out to meet with the crown prince and came away convinced that his desire to reform the kingdom was sincere. He spoke passionately about bringing women into the workforce and toning down Saudi Arabia's restrictive Islamic law. He lifted the ban on women driving and explored investments in Silicon Valley.But MBS began to betray an erratic interior beneath the polish laid on by scores of consultants and public relations experts like McKinsey & Company. The allegations of his extreme brutality and excess began to slip out, including that he ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. While stamping out dissent by holding 300 people, including prominent members of the Saudi royal family, in the Ritz-Carlton hotel and elsewhere for months, he continued to exhibit his extreme wealth, including buying a $70 million chateau in Europe and one of the world's most expensive yachts. It seemed that he did not understand nor care about how the outside world would react to his displays of autocratic muscle--what mattered was the flex.Blood and Oil is a gripping work of investigative journalism about one of the world's most decisive and dangerous new leaders. Hope and Scheck show how MBS' precipitous rise coincided with the fraying of the simple bargain that had been at the head of US-Saudi relations for more than 80 years: oil, for military protection. Caught in his net are well-known US bankers, Hollywood figures, and politicians, all eager to help the charming and crafty crown prince.The Middle East is already a volatile region. Add to the mix an ambitious prince with extraordinary powers, hunger for lucre, a tight relationship with the White House through President Trump's son in law Jared Kushner, and an apparent willingness to break anything--and anyone--that gets in the way of his vision, and the stakes of his rise are bracing. If his bid fails, Saudi Arabia has the potential to become an unstable failed state and a magnet for Islamic extremists. And if his bid to transform his country succeeds, even in part, it will have reverberations around the world.Longlisted for the Financial Times & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award

A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND FORTUNE MAGAZINE. The epic story of how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest financial heists in history. In 2015, rumours began circulating that billions of dollars had been stolen from a Malaysian investment fund. The mastermind of the heist was twenty-seven-year-old Jho Low, a serial fabulist from an upper-middle-class Malaysian family, who had carefully built his reputation as a member of the jet-setting elite by arranging and financing elaborate parties for Wall Street bankers, celebrities, and even royalty. With the aid of Goldman Sachs and others, Low stole billions of dollars, right under the nose of global financial industry watchdogs. He used the money to finance elections, purchase luxury real estate, throw champagne-drenched parties, and bankroll Hollywood films like The Wolf of Wall Street. Billion Dollar Whale reveals how this silver-tongued con man, a ‘modern Gatsby’, emerged from obscurity to pull off one of the most audacious financial heists the world has ever seen, and how the financial industry let him. It is a classic harrowing parable of hubris and greed in the financial world.

Druzja i vragi za glaza nazyvajut Mukhammeda ibn Salmana Al Sauda prosto MBS. Naslednomu printsu Saudovskoj Aravii ne ispolnilos i soroka, no ego uzhe schitajut odnim iz naibolee vlijatelnykh i protivorechivykh politikov v mire.Prints obajatelen, khiter i umeet riskovat, on tschatelno sledit za svoej reputatsiej, tsenit predannykh sojuznikov i obschaetsja na ravnykh s politikami Zapada i Vostoka. Za korotkij srok on oderzhal pobedu v dvortsovykh intrigakh, liberalizoval strogie normy obschestvennogo povedenija i objavil masshtabnuju programmu reform, prizvannykh snizit zavisimost strany ot neftjanykh dokhodov. A esche MBS izvesten roskoshnym dazhe po merkam sauditov obrazom zhizni, on zhestoko raspravljaetsja s politicheskimi protivnikami, kritikami i nezavisimymi zhurnalistami.Mukhammed govoril dva chasa bez pereryva. Vremja ot vremeni on ssylalsja na finansovye prognozy, ne zagljadyvaja v zapisi. On perechisljal otrasli saudovskoj ekonomiki, kotorye mozhno bylo by modernizirovat ili sozdat s nulja, chtoby umenshit zavisimost strany ot eksporta nefti. Prints po pamjati ukazyval ozhidaemye tempy rosta otraslej i ikh dokhodnost. Ego plan vkljuchal kak shagi, kotorye vpolne mozhno bylo realizovat na praktike (snizhenie raskhodov na subsidii, povyshenie nalogov i t. d.), tak i zamysly iz oblasti nauchnoj fantastiki - naprimer, modernizatsiju tselogo regiona na poberezhe Krasnogo morja, gde mashiny letali by po vozdukhu, a ljudej obsluzhivali by roboty (obschestvennost uznaet ob etikh idejakh tolko cherez god).V svoej sensatsionnoj knige izvestnye zhurnalisty-rassledovateli The Wall Street Journal rasskazyvajut pravdivuju istoriju o voskhozhdenii Mukhammeda ibn Salmana k vershinam vlasti, predlagaja unikalnyj vzgljad na sovremennuju politicheskuju arenu Saudovskoj Aravii i vsego Blizhnego Vostoka.Sredi zaderzhannykh byli i te, kogo prosto nevozmozhno bylo predstavit v roli uznikov, - naprimer, Mutaib ibn Abdalla, syn pochivshego korolja i glava Natsionalnoj gvardii Saudovskoj Aravii - osobogo podrazdelenija vooruzhennykh sil, otvetstvennogo za okhranu chlenov korolevskoj semi. V Natsionalnoj gvardii sluzhat 125 000 chelovek, dislotsirovannykh na bazakh, razbrosannykh po vsej strane. V chislo zadach podrazdelenija vkhodit predotvraschenie popytok gosudarstvennogo perevorota. Kazalos by, vozglavljat podobnuju strukturu mozhet tolko chelovek, polzujuschijsja absoljutnym doveriem korolja, no poskolku Mutaib byl esche i potentsialnym naslednikom prestola, on tozhe stal uznikom otelja Ritz. Za neskolko dnej byli arestovany okolo 50 chelovek. V sledujuschie neskolko nedel v Ritz i drugie nadezhno okhranjaemye zdanija v Er-Rijade dostavili esche bolee 300 chelovek.
