Description THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "The Story Unger weaves with those earlier accounts and his original reporting is fresh, illuminating and more alarming than the intelligence channel described in the Steele dossier."--The Washington Post House of Trump, House of Putin offers the first comprehensive investigation into the decades-long relationship among Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Russian Mafia that ultimately helped win Trump the White House.
Without Russia, Trump would not be pr.
Without Trump, Russia would have lacked a key component in its attempts to return to imperial greatness.
He traces Russia\'s phoenixlike rise from the ashes of the post-Cold War Soviet Union as well as its ceaseless covert efforts to retaliate against the West and reclaim its status as a global superpower.
He traces Donald Trump\'s sordid ascent from foundering real estate tycoon to leader of the free world.
In House of Trump, House of Putin, Craig Unger methodically traces the deep-rooted alliance between the highest echelons of American political operatives and the biggest players in the frightening underworld of the Russian Mafia.
To most, it will be a hair-raising revelation that the Cold War did not end in 1991--that it merely evolved, with Trump\'s apartments offering the perfect vehicle for billions of dollars to leave the collapsing Soviet Union.
This book confirms the most incredible American paranoias about Russian malevolence.
That moment was the culmination of Vladimir Putin\'s long mission to undermine Western democracy, a mission that he and his hand-selected group of oligarchs and Mafia kingpins had ensnared Trump in, starting more than twenty years ago with the massive bailout of a string of sensational Trump hotel and casino failures in Atlantic City.
It is a chilling Story that begins in the 1970s, when Trump made his first splash in the booming, money-drenched world of New York real estate, and ends with Trump\'s inauguration as president of the United States.
