Trump/Russia: A Definitive HistoryHettena is a first-rate reporter and wonderful story-teller, and the tale he tells here is mind-boggling.--Jane Mayer, author of New York Times bestseller Dark Money Hettena skillfully weaves many threads--most fresh or previously hidden--into a rich tapestry tying together decades of Donald Trump's deep involvement with Russia.--DAVID CAY JOHNSTON, author of New York Times bestseller The Making of Donald Trump Uncovering the decades-long association between Donald Trump and Russia As Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into the relationship between members of Trump's campaign and Russian operatives continues, there is growing evidence that Trump has spent decades cultivating ties to corrupt 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. |
