Summary

"In the early 1990s, a famous real estate tycoon--a regular in Manhattan gossip columns and on celebrity chat shows--found his world collapsing around him. He'd secretly gone bankrupt on three multi-million-dollar projects in a row. Facing numerous lawsuits, isolated and desperate for cash, but cut off by his American banks, he turned to dark sources in another country, a country regularly under sanction by the United States: its long-time enemy, Russia. And thus commenced decades-long deal-making with a growing cobweb of corrupt, criminal, and powerful Russians ... And ending with the tycoon in the White House. An award-winning investigative reporter for the Associated Press untangles the gripping story of Donald Trump's long involvement with Russia in damning detail--including new reporting never before published. As Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into relationship between members of Trump's campaign and Russian operatives continues, there is growing evidence that Trump has spent decades cultivating corrupt ties to Russians and the post-Soviet state. In Trump/Russia: A Definitive History, Seth Hettena chronicles the many years Trump has spent wooing Russian money and power. From the collapse of his casino empire--which left Trump desperate for cash--and his first contacts with Russian deal-makers and financiers, on up to the White House, Hettena reveals the myriad of shady people, convoluted dealings, and strange events that suggest how indebted to Russia our forty-fifth president might be. Using deeply researched reporting, along with newly uncovered information, court documents, and exclusive interviews with investigators and FBI agents, Hettena provides an expansive and essential primer to the Trump/Russia scandal, leaving no stone unturned."--Dust jacket
