About this book
A "balanced, well sourced, and perfectly timed" biography of the businessman, TV personality, and president ( Financial Times, UK).
"A brisk and entertaining read, drawing on interviews and documents and distilling decades' worth of news coverage to tell the story of Trump's childhood, family, business deals and political forays." — The Washington Post
For all those who wonder, "Just who is Donald Trump?", The Truth About Trump supplies the answer.
Drawing upon exclusive interviews and exhaustive research, Pulitzer Prize–winning reporter Michael D'Antonio presents Trump's full story, from his beginnings as a businessman to his juggernaut presidential campaign. Along the way, D'Antonio charts the successes and failures, scandals and triumphs, and relentless pursuit of money and fame that have made Trump who he is today. D'Antonio also details the origins of the Trump family fortune, Trump's history of using politics to get ahead, and how he has mastered the media to turn publicity into power.
First published in 2015, and now updated to cover Trump's rise to political prominence, The Truth About Trump is an unsparing, eye-opening account of the life and career of one of the most talked-about men in America.
