NO ONE MAN SHOULD HAVE ALL THAT POWER - AMOS BA...

An exploration of infamous  controversial figures and how they exert control.Amos Barshad has
long been fascinated by the powerful. But not by elected officials or natural leaders-he's
interested in their scheming advisors  the dark figures who wield power in the shadows. And  as
Barshad shows in No One Man Should Have All That Power  the natural habitat of these
manipulators is not only political backrooms. It's anywhere power dynamics exist-from Hollywood
to drug cartels  from recording studios to the NFL.In this wildly entertaining  wide-ranging 
and insightful exploration of the phenomenon  Barshad takes readers into the lives of more than
a dozen of these notorious figures  starting with Grigori Rasputin. An almost mythical Russian
mystic  Rasputin drank  danced  and healed his way into a position of power behind the last of
the tsars. But not every one of these figures rose to power through lechery or magical cures.
Barshad explores how they got there  how they wielded control  what led to their downfall or
staved it off  and what lessons we can take from them  including how to spot Rasputins in the
wild.Based on interviews with well-known personalities like Scooter Braun (Justin Bieber's
manager)  Alex Guerrero (Tom Brady's trainer)  and Sam Nunberg (Trump's former aide) and
original reporting on figures like Nicaragua's powerful first lady Rosario Murillo and the
Tijuana cartel boss known as Narcomami  No One Man Should Have All That Poweris an eye-opening
book from an exciting new voice.
