英文简介:
“A rollicking, unexpectedly affecting story.
.
.
It’s going to be one of the big, buzzy Beltway books of the year.
” –Politico A bridge-burning, riotous memoir by a top PR operative in Washington who exposes the secrets of the $129-billion industry that controls so much of what we see and hear in the media–from a man who used to pull the strings, and who is now pulling back the curtain.
After nearly two decades in the Washington PR business, Elwood wants to come clean, by exposing the dark underbelly of the very industry that’s made him so successful.
The first step is revealing exactly what he’s been up to for the past twenty years–and it isn’t pretty.
Elwood has worked for a murderer’s row of questionable clients, including Gaddafi, Assad, and the government of Qatar.
In All the Worst Humans, Elwood unveils how the PR business works, and how the truth gets made, spun, and sold to the public–not shying away from the gritty details of his unlikely career.
This is a piercing look into the corridors of money, power, politics, and control, all told in Elwood’s disarmingly funny and entertaining voice.
He recounts a four-day Las Vegas bacchanal with a dictator’s son, plotting communications strategies against a terrorist organization in Western Africa, and helping to land a Middle Eastern dictator’s wife a glowing profile in Vogue on the same time the Arab Spring broke out.
And he reveals all his slippery tricks for seducing journalists in order to create chaos and ultimately cover for politicians, dictators, and spies–the industry-secret tactics that led to his rise as a political PR pro.
Along the way, Phil walks the halls of the Capitol, rides in armored cars through Abuja, and watches his client lose his annual income at the roulette table.
But as he moved up the ranks, he felt worse and worse about the sleaziness of it all–until Elwood receives a shocking wake-up call from the FBI.
This risky game nearly cost Elwood his life and his freedom.
Seeing the light, Elwood decides to change his ways, and his clients, and to tell the full truth about who is the worst human.
中文简介:
“一个欢快、出乎意料地感人的故事……这将成为今年环城公路上最热门的热门书籍之一。
” ——《Politico》 华盛顿一位高级公关人员撰写的一本自毁前程、喧闹的回忆录,揭露了这个价值 1,290 亿美元的行业的秘密,而这个行业控制着我们在媒体上看到和听到的大部分内容——作者是一个曾经在媒体上看到和听到的人。
弦,现在是谁拉开帷幕。
在华盛顿公关行业工作了近二十年后,埃尔伍德希望通过揭露这个让他如此成功的行业的阴暗面来澄清真相。
第一步是准确地揭示他在过去二十年里所做的事情——但这并不漂亮。
埃尔伍德曾为一群可疑的杀人犯工作过,其中包括卡扎菲、阿萨德和卡塔尔政府。
在《最糟糕的人类》中,埃尔伍德揭示了公关业务是如何运作的,以及真相是如何被制造、编造和出售给公众的——并没有回避他不太可能的职业生涯的细节。
这是对金钱、权力、政治和控制走廊的敏锐观察,所有这一切都通过埃尔伍德令人放松的滑稽和有趣的声音讲述。
他讲述了与一位独裁者的儿子在拉斯维加斯进行为期四天的狂欢,策划针对西非恐怖组织的通讯策略,并在阿拉伯之春爆发的同时帮助一位中东独裁者的妻子在《Vogue》杂志上获得了引人注目的形象。
他揭露了他引诱记者的所有狡猾伎俩,以制造混乱,并最终为政客、独裁者和间谍提供掩护——这些行业秘密策略使他成为一名政治公关专家。
一路上,菲尔走过国会大厦的大厅,乘坐装甲车穿越阿布贾,看着他的客户在轮盘赌桌上输掉年收入。
但随着职位的晋升,他对这一切的肮脏感觉越来越糟——直到埃尔伍德接到联邦调查局的令人震惊的警钟。
这场危险的游戏几乎让埃尔伍德失去了生命和自由。
看到光明后,埃尔伍德决定改变他的方式和他的客户,并说出谁是最糟糕的人的全部真相。
