Trump Revealed: An American Journey of Ambition, Ego, Money, and Power
Description
A New York Times Bestseller A Philadelphia Inquirer Best Book of the Year A
Los Angeles Times Most Important Book of the Year Authoritative, timely, and
provocative, this deeply researched biography of Donald Trump provides a
complex portrait of the man who—despite broad skepticism—could be the next
president of the United States. Who is Donald J. Trump? Despite decades of
scrutiny, many aspects of his life are not well known. To discover Trump in
full, The Washington Post assembled a team of award-winning reporters and
researchers to delve into every aspect of Trump’s improbable life, from his
privileged upbringing in Queens to his astonishing 2016 rise to seize the
Republican candidacy for president. Coauthored by Washington Post
investigative political reporter Michael Kranish and senior editor Marc
Fisher, this comprehensive book documents Trump’s fascinating family roots,
his aggressive efforts to make a name for himself in New York social circles,
and his penchant for big bets—on real estate, branded businesses, and,
ultimately, on himself. The authors, seasoned journalists who interviewed
Trump for this book, scrutinize everything from his youthful alliance with the
power broker Roy Cohn to his alleged dealings with organized crime and his
controversial projects in New York City, Atlantic City, Florida, Scotland, and
Azerbaijan. The authors examine Trump’s wealth, the evolution of his political
beliefs, and his peculiar identity as a billionaire businessman, celebrity,
global brand, television star, and now candidate for the most powerful office
in the world. Few individuals have ever roamed so widely through such diverse
realms as real estate, sports, entertainment, and national politics. How has
Trump’s life informed his bold statements on the economy, immigration, race,
global trade, terrorism, and women? Drawn from in-depth reporting by The
Washington Post, Trump Revealed is essential reading as the 2016 American
presidential election looms. Read more
