      Donald Trump je ikona. Je najznámejším americkým biznismenom. Je tiež jednou z najčastejšie sa súdiacich známych osobností. Počas svojej kariéry sa už toľkým novinárom vyhrážal súdom (a aj sa súdil), že sa až reportéri začínajú cítiť nepovšimnutí, ak sa im tejto hrozby nedostane. Aj autorovi knihy spomenul, že ho môže zažalovať. Dodnes sa tak však nestalo, čo svedčí o tom, že tvrdenia publikované v tomto necenzurovanom životopise, na ktorom autor pracoval mnoho rokov, sú podložené faktami. V knihe sa dozviete: na čom skutočne zbohatla Trumpova rodina, aký je skutočný Trumpov recept na úspech, kedy v živote zlyhal a koľkokrát skrachoval, či je naozaj taký bohatý, ako rád o sebe tvrdí, aká búrlivá bola jeho mladosť a prečo má slabosť pre krásne ženy, ktoré investície sa mu vyplatili najviac a prečo vzbudzuje toľko kontroverznosti a mnoho ďalších informácií a analýz z rôznych zdrojov, ako aj z rozhovorov s jeho bývalými manželkami a deťmi.

      Two award-winning journalists offer the most comprehensive inside story behind our most significant modern political drama: the House impeachment of Donald Trump. Having spent a year essentially embedded inside several House committees, Michael D'Antonio and Peter Eisner draw on many sources, including key House leaders, to expose the politicking, playcalling, and strategies debated backstage and to explain the Democrats' successes and apparent public failures during the show itself.High Crimes opens with Nancy Pelosi deciding the House should take up impeachment, then, in part one, leaps back to explain what Ukraine was really all about: not just Joe Biden and election interference, but a money grab and oil. In the second part, the authors recount key meetings throughout the run up to the impeachment hearings, including many of the heated confrontations between the Trump administration and House Democrats. And the third part takes readers behind the scenes of those hearings, showing why certain things happened the way they did for reasons that never came up in public.In the end, having illuminated every step of impeachment, from the schemes that led Giuliani to the Ukraine in 2016 to Fiona Hill's rebuking the Republicans' conspiracy theories, High Crimes promises to be Trump's Final Days.

    • "In one way or another, Donald Trump has been a topic of conversation in America for almost forty years. No one in the world of business-not Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, or Warren Buffett-has been as famous as Trump for as long. First associated with high-profile real estate development in 1970s Manhattan, his name has since become synonymous with success defined by wealth and luxury. What does one make of a grown man who, when he argues with women, stoops to insulting their appearance and habitually courts controversy? What if the same man were among the most prominent people in the world, and a privately generous person who once handed a dying child a $50,000 check so that he could enjoy the last months of his life? Add to the picture a kind of resilience that has allowed him to stage countless comebacks and truly a boundless level of optimism, and you get a figure so compelling that he cannot be dismissed simply because of his personality"--Novelist.
